MEXICALI, Mexico — Eight men arrested for allegedly constructing a drug tunnel have been formally charged on racketeering and smuggling charges, according to state and federal authorities.
The men, one of whom was identified as a suspected Los Angeles-area gang member, were arrested this month inside a small house where the well-constructed passageway began. The tunnel, equipped with ventilation, electricity and a rail-and-cart system to ferry material and dirt, stretched 150 yards, ending within feet of the California border.
