Mexican federal cop among cartel members sentenced in San Diego, two will forfeit $1 million each

Mexican federal cop among cartel members sentenced in San Diego, two will forfeit $1 million each: "Jesus “Chuy” Labra-Aviles received a 40-year sentence on Monday, while Armando Martinez-Duarte, a Mexican federal police officer, drew a sentence of 18 years and 4 months in federal prison.
A third member of the cartel, Jorge Aureliano Felix was sentenced to 30 years in federal prison on March 29. All were extradited from Mexico to the U.S. in December 2008.
In a stark reminder of the corrupting influence of illegal drugs, the defendants also admitted bribing law enforcement, government, and military officials with millions of dollars to evade capture and prosecution.
They were sentenced by U.S. District Judge Larry A. Burns, who also ordered Labra and Felix to forfeit $1 million each.
The lengthy sentences were a reflection of the 'scope and seriousness of the defendants’ crimes,' U.S. Attorney Karen Hewitt said in a statement.
The men admitted October 2009 to charges involving their leadership of the Arellano-Felix drug trafficking organization, federal prosecutors said."
