Cartels funded DEA agents’ sex parties
Saturday, March 28, 2015
By Lindsay Dunsmuir, Washington

US Drug Enforcement Administration agents had alleged “sex parties” with prostitutes over several years, a report stemming from a review of allegations of misconduct by several DEA agents in Colombia said. The alleged parties were funded by local drug cartels, said the report by the Justice Department’s Office of the Inspector General, an agency internal watchdog.

The alleged sex parties took place in government-leased quarters where agents’ phones and laptops were present, but investigators did not report the claims because they “did not believe that the special agents’ conduct rose to the level of a security risk requiring a referral”

The report raised concerns about inadequate reporting of allegations of misconduct and sexual harassment by several law enforcement agencies, including the DEA, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the US Marshals Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).

Among the DEA allegations, 10 agents — an assistant regional director and nine special agents — had the alleged sex parties “at government-leased headquarters”, and three of the special agents “were provided money, expensive gifts, and weapons from drug cartel members,” according to the report.

cars that were 4 or 5 years old, yet never used?

We need to reveal just who of our Gov. Leadership and main management, political leaders were trading gifts and favors with drug kingpins in Florida to Colombia shipping & air. Over the past 20 years or so, especially during the bush-years. Mexico aswell, all the corrupt police and the druglords friends & family always had brand new luxury cars.

Well, I'm sure we'll all take comfort in knowing that the taxpayers didn't have to pay for any of this. It's what the DEA likes to call the perfect public/private partnership.

- Sometimes threesomes.....

Bad, agent! I'm gonna have to punish you!!

K&R
