U.S. indicts Mexican governor and nine other officials for drug trafficking and corruption

Federal prosecutors unsealed an indictment in Manhattan on Wednesday charging 10 current and former Mexican government officials, including Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya, with drug trafficking and weapons offenses. The defendants are accused of accepting bribes to shield Sinaloa Cartel operations, leak law enforcement information, and direct police to protect drug shipments into the United States. None are currently in U.S. custody; Mexico's government received extradition requests but has not stated its response.
