MEXICO CITY — Interpol is sending a special investigative team to Mexico to determine whether sensitive information from its database on criminals and terrorists was leaked to drug cartels, the agency said Wednesday.
Interpol launched the probe after Mexican federal police official Ricardo Gutierrez Vargas was placed under house arrest as part of an investigation of law-enforcement officers who allegedly shared police information with traffickers.
Gutierrez Vargas directed the international police agency’s National Central Bureau in Mexico, where he had access to Interpol’s database, the agency said.
