The Mexican Criminal Investigation Agency was a replacement in 2012 for the Mexican Federal Investigation Agency who were accused of corruption, extortion, taking bribes, and working for drug cartels like Sinaloa and the Gulf. The Attorney General of Mexico's office decided to replace the corrupt agency with officers who did not have any criminal records or violence history.
History[edit]
The Mexican Criminal Investigation agency was created in 2012 as a replacement for the Mexican Federal Investigation Agency that was accused of corruption, violation of people's rights, and drug trafficking. The agency did many successful arrests of high-profile criminals including Sinaloa Cartel second-in command Damaso Lopez on July 8, 2018, and the Federal Social Readaptation Center No. 1 warden for his part in El Chapo Guzman's escape in 2001.[1]
Dissolution[edit]
On March 1, 2019, Mexican president Andrés Manuel López Obrador signed a plan that would allow the Mexico National Guard to take over the Mexican Federal Police's duties during the Mexican drug war. As part of the plan, The PGR (Procuraduría General de la República) was named FGR (Fiscalía General de la República).[2]
