Former DEA agent charged with agreeing to launder millions of dollars for Mexican drug cartel

Former DEA deputy chief Paul Campo and associate Robert Sensi face federal charges for laundering $12 million and supporting the Jalisco New Generation Cartel's drug and weapons operations.

  • DEA Administrator Terrance Cole said the allegations undermine trust in law enforcement, and the agency has placed new controls on money laundering stings and can now fire agents for serious misconduct.
