MEXICO CITY — Federal police arrested a state police officer Thursday in connection with last week’s arson fire at a casino that killed 52 people in northern Mexico.
The state police agent was caught in a surveillance video inside a sport utility vehicle outside Casino Royale, presumably connected to the attack, said Mexico’s attorney general’s regional chief Jose Cuitlahuac Salinas.
Five alleged members of the Zetas drug cartel were arrested Sunday in connection with the fire, called one of the worst attacks in Mexico’s five-year drug war. Police have said at least 12 people were involved.
