Mexican Judge tied to Ryan Wedding Trial facing Extradition to the U.S.

               Colombian police arrested a Mexican judge wanted by the U.S. on charges of taking a $2 million bribe to free a Canadian drug trafficker who was the right-hand man of a former Olympic snowboarder accused of running a major cocaine-smuggling operation.[2]  The indictment by the U.S. Justice Department, alleges that Judge Luis Benitez took $2 million to order the release of Andrew Clark after Clark was detained in Mexico. Benitez used his position to unlawfully secure the release of a major figure in an international drug organization to evade lawful detention. In return for the $2 million bribe payment, Benítez issued rulings that directly facilitated the release from custody of Andrew Clark.[3]
