U.S. informant 'supervised' slayings
WASHINGTON, May 20 (UPI) --
A former high-ranking cartel figure in the Mexican drug trade who was hired as an informant for the United States is in hot water over "supervising" killings. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported that Guillermo "Lalo" Eduardo Ramirez-Peyro allegedly witnessed the slaying in August 2003 of attorney Fernando Reyes Aguado in Juarez, Mexico. After Ramirez briefed U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the agency reportedly continued using him as an informant, paying him $200,000 for his work. Ramirez, the Star-Telegram reported, worked in what is known as the "House of Death" where about a dozen people have been tortured, killed and buried. Ramirez also reportedly knew of or witnessed other slayings in the house, just across the border from El Paso. Ramirez allegedly became an informant after coming to the United States in 2000 and telling a U.S. customs officer he "didn't like the way" the cartel operated. He allegedly told the agent he felt it would "be honorable" to work for law enforcement in the United States. Ramirez, who is now in protective custody in the United States, is fighting to not be deported to Mexico, saying it would mean certain death for him at the hands of violent drug lords.
