Mexican Judge Who Freed Drug Lord El Chapo Guzman's Son Under Investigation
Forbes ^ | 7/2014 | Dolia

If you wonder what’s wrong with Mexico–a nation that despite decades of economic and democratic reforms is often seen as a collection of stereotypes associated with drug-related violence–take a look into its judicial system. With one of world’s highest rates of impunity (estimated by Mexico’s National Human Rights Commission at 99 % in 2008), Mexico has a dysfunctional judicial system, marred by corruption, cronyism, incompetence and crime.

Mexican Judges, notorious for letting criminals off the hook and releasing drug lords from prison, are rarely prosecuted or investigated. At best they are sanctioned or relieved from duties.

Yet an exception to this unwritten rule came recently when Mexican law enforcement authorities said they were investigating possible links to drug traffickers for a federal judge who ordered the release of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar, son of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera, the world’s most powerful drug lord until his detention in Mexico in February.

The same thing happens here, at least Mexicans have no delusions about the complicity of their government with the drug cartels.

This judges investigation mean nothing.

Americans may just be waking up to the fact that their Department of JUST US is pretty much the same. Elections WILL have consequences.

Our elections are fraudulent too.

Chavez didn’t miraculously come into power, and neither did the bus driver, Maduro. They were positioned, by Soros & Co. This is what happened to Latin America and it is slowly happening in EU and the US.

We are using the same voting machines as Venezuela
