Mexican investigators widened a probe into military corruption in the drug war,
holding retired General Ricardo Escorcia and retired Lieutenant
Colonel Silvio Hernandez in custody for alleged ties to a
cartel.
The judge ordered them to a detention center in Mexico City
for 40 days while evidence is gathered, a spokesman from the
Federal Attorney General’s Office said Sunday.
A total of four high ranking military officers have been
arrested and held this week in connection with the probe.
