DEA agents have sex parties in Colombia, Cartels foot the bill

Lucio R Borderland Beat material from AP and Politico 

“Agents were provided money, expensive gifts, and weapons from drug cartel members.  Some DEA agents who participated in the parties denied knowing about cartel involvement, but the IG report says “information in the case files suggested they should have known the prostitutes in attendance were paid with cartel funds.


The sex parties occurred in government leased living quarters where “agents’ laptops, BlackBerry devices and other government-issued equipment were present,” posing a security risk and “potentially exposing them to extortion, blackmail, or coercion.” ..........

Agents of the Drug Enforcement Administration reportedly had “sex parties” with prostitutes hired by drug cartels in Colombia, according to a new inspector general report released by the Justice Department on Thursday.

In addition, Colombian police officers allegedly provided “protection for the DEA agents’ weapons and property during the parties,” the report states. Ten DEA agents later admitted attending the parties, and some of the agents received suspensions of two to 10 days.

The stunning allegations are part of an investigation by the Justice Department’s inspector general into claims of sexual harassment and misconduct within DEA; FBI; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; and the U.S. Marshals Service. The IG’s office found that DEA did not fully cooperate with its probe.

The congressional committee charged with federal oversight is already promising hearings and an investigation into the allegations.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz told POLITICO on
Thursday he wanted the agencies involved to swiftly fire those involved and that his panel would immediately start digging into the allegations.

“You can’t ignore this. This is terribly embarrassing and fundamentally not right,” the Utah Republican said. “We need to understand what’s happening with the culture … anytime you bring a foreign national into your room, you’re asking for trouble.”



The congressional committee was first briefed on the IG’s report Wednesday. The House is about to depart on a two-week recess but Chaffetz said there would be major action coming from the Oversight panel when the House returns in April.

“We have to understand issue by issue what is happening. We need to understand how these people are being held accountable. There should be no question about the severity of the punishment,” Chaffetz said. “I don’t care how senior the person is, they are going to have to let these people go.”

The Oversight panel is also investigating allegations into the Secret Service that agents there hired prostitutes in Colombia while advancing a trip for President Barack Obama.

The Oversight committee will hold a hearing on April 14 at 10 a.m., and the DEA and DOJ inspector generals are invited testify.

Moreover,the report states that DEA, ATF and the Marshals Service repeatedly failed to report all risky or improper sexual behavior to security personnel at those agencies.

The report covers the period from 2009 to 2012, although some of the incidents occurred long before that.
The DEA “sex parties” in Colombia, though, are by far the most damaging allegations.

“The foreign officer allegedly arranged ‘sex parties’ with prostitutes funded by the local drug cartels for these DEA agents at their government-leased quarters, over a period of several years,” the IG report says.

The parties reportedly took place from 2005 to 2008, but the DEA’s Office of Professional Responsibility became aware of them only in 2010, after it received an anonymous complaint. DEA supervisors, however, had been aware of the allegations for several years because of complaints from management of the building in which the DEA office in Bogotá was located.

“Although some of the DEA agents participating in these parties denied it, the information in the case file suggested they should have known the prostitutes in attendance were paid with cartel funds. A foreign officer also alleged providing protection for the DEA agents’ weapons and property during the parties,” the report said. “The foreign officers further alleged that in addition to soliciting prostitutes, three DEA SSAs [special agents] in particular were provided money, expensive gifts, and weapons from drug cartel members.”

The IG’s office asserts that DEA officials did not fully comply with their requests for information during the probe.

“We were also concerned by an apparent decision by DEA to withhold information regarding a particular open misconduct case,” the report states. “The OIG [Office of Inspector General] was not given access to this case file information until several months after our request, and only after the misconduct case was closed. Once we became aware of the information, we interviewed DEA employees who said that they were given the impression that they were not to discuss this case with the OIG while the case remained open.”

The report adds: “Therefore, we cannot be completely confident that the FBI and DEA provided us with all information relevant to this review. As a result, our report reflects the findings and conclusions we reached based on the information made available to us.”

Spokespersons for DEA and ATF said the agencies would not comment on the report and referred all questions to the Justice Department.

“The Department is already working with the law enforcement components to ensure a zero tolerance policy on sexual harassment and misconduct is enforced and that incidents are properly reported. The Department is also committed to ensuring the proper preservation and disclosure of electronic communications, including text messages and images,” said Patrick Rodenbush, a spokesperson for the Department of Justice.

Other allegations outlined in the report include:

* A deputy U.S. Marshal “entered into a romantic relationship” with a fugitive’s spouse and would not break off the relationship for more than a year, even after being told by supervisors to end it;

* An ATF “Director of Industry Operations” had “solicited consensual sex with anonymous partners and modified a hotel room door to facilitate sexual play.” The ATF employee even disabled a hotel’s fire detection system, and when caught by the hotel, said he had done it before;

* “For over 3 years, an ATF Program Manager failed to report allegations that two training instructors were having consensual sex with their students. According to the incident report, the Program Manager learned the same instructors had engaged in substantially the same activities 3 years earlier but had merely counseled the training instructors without reporting the alleged activities” to the Internal Affairs Division.

  2. Americans are always complaining about how bad the corruption is in Mexico and other countries when en actuality it's the US government whose at the head of the pack. The criminals who've taken over the US federal government have been very smart when it comes to covering their tracks in regards to selling out every man, women, and child in the country. This story is just another example of how brazen those in the government have become, at this point they don't really care anymore if people find out what their doing because nothing will be done to them, so it's the big fuck you to the people. People wounder why those in the background of the government are pushing so hard to take every weapon they can out of public's hands, they know at some point people are going to get tired of being shit on. If the US government was actually working for the people's good they would disband the DEA, CIA, BATF, and many other agencies because in reality these agencies would be run better if you trained chimpanzees, at least they'd be worth the tax dollars.

    1. If you lay with dirty dogs you are bound to get fleas. Working with narco punks tend to rub off on you when a person is working side by side with them. There is a difference between sex parties compared to a law enforcement officer doing hits for the cartels. No matter how you slice it a scandal like this will never rise to the level of the Mexican government's corruption. There will always be bad apples in a bunch but I refuse to condemn an entire agency because a few agents like to get freaky.

    2. I guess I am not understanding which government you are talking about when you say 'People wounder why those in the background of the government are pushing so hard to take every weapon they can out of public's hands" March 27, 2015 @ 12:30pm. I live in Texas and I can still pretty much possess whichever firearm I want legally. If I'm not mistaken the federal government has yet to take any weapons from me either. The only thing that are regulated are short barreled rifles, automatic rifles and sound suppressors. If you have a clean criminal record and you complete the proper ATF paperwork you can attain those three things also. If you were talking about Mexico then I would say you are correct but if you are talking about the US I would say you are incorrect.

    1. As an American citizen traveling in Colombia you can hire a prostitute there and not be prosecuted for it. It is legal there. It was who they are and the circumstances that will be their downfall. They did not perform an illegal act. They did things that will jeopardize their jobs and careers. Taking money and gifts from cartel members might be a different story.

    3. In a word Heavy. This goes back to Quintero and the 80's. The Americans started something they thought they could get out of. They started their own war on drugs. Now the escalation has risen that it can't be stopped and they continue to deny everything.

      Excerpts from testimony of Rear Adm. John M. Poindexter President Reagan's former national security adviser, before the congressional committees investigating the Iran-contra affair:

      Plausible Deniability.....Is Not Any Printed Doctrine or Dogma, Simply a Concept - Oliver North

      Following are excerpts from testimony Wednesday by Rear Adm. John M. Poindexter, President Reagan's former national security adviser, before the congressional committees investigating the Iran-contra affair:

      (Democratic Sen. Sam Nunn of Georgia asks Poindexter to clarify his use of the term "plausible deniability," which Poindexter has testified he was trying to provide Reagan with respect to the diversion to Nicaragua's contras of profits from the Iran arms sales.)

      Question: Everybody I've talked to in the intelligence community and around town where that term has been used tells me that the definition of that term is that, when you set up plausible deniability for someone, the President or someone else, what that means is that they know the facts in question, but they can deny the knowledge, and that the denial is believable. Now, would you tell us whether that is your definition or whether you have some other definition in mind?

      Answer: First of all, senator, I believe if you go back and look at my testimony on May the 2nd when this issue first came up (in private hearings), I used the term "deniability," that I wanted to provide the President deniability and insulate him from the decision. Since that testimony, the terminology has been raised in these hearings of plausible deniability, and I have gone along with that definition. Since this is not any sort of printed doctrine or dogma, it simply is a concept. I think it's open to interpretation. And my interpretation of it is simply and very straightforwardly that the ability of the President to deny knowing anything about it and be very truthful in that process. He didn't know anything about it.

      Q: That's what Ollie (Lt. Col. Oliver L. North) called absolute deniability. If you don't know, it's not only plausible, it just didn't happen. Is that what you mean, then?

      A: Absolute deniability would be a more accurate description.

      THIS IS WHY THEY WANT RAFAEL CARO QUINTERO. The United States of America started a war they cannot control or stop. With the capture, detention or death of Qunintero they can close the book completely and blame Rafael Caro Quintero for everything then pass the flame to Mexico and once again declare "PLAUSIBLE DENIAL".

      Delete
    4. March 28, 2015 @8:10am you have fallen and hit your head. Do you honestly believe the US government was the only government who started the war on drugs? RCQ and his fuck boys from Colombia started this shit. Killing Kiki was probably the worst thing the Colombians and Mexicans could have done. Now narco lovers want to claim RCQ is the savior to the great country of Mexico all because he kidnapped and killed a DEA agent. But mark my words the US will always intervene into Mexican government and use them as the puppet. In all actuality RCQ truly is the savior to Mexico because from now until eternity Mexico will not be in control of its own destiny. Don't blame us, blame RCQ.

      --american weapons to iran, via israel...for oil sold on the black market, the money did NOT go to the contras, but to the rogue agents offshore accounts...
      --american weapons and poison gases to iraq's saddam hussein, for oil and money and on credit, to fight with iran, donald rumsfeld was all over there...
      --drugs, cocaine, marihuana from colombia/mexico imported by the "CIA ROGUE AGENTS" again, money stolen again by those agents and offshored...
      --see the pattern? All the "rogue agents" did was under a miriad of pretexts and excuses, created a lot of dirty wars all over the world, armed the Contenders, trafficked drugs, stole the money, lost the wars, and had kiki camarena murdered by their puppets DFS and narcs in mexico, Ollie and max gomez know who did what ask them...

  10. Despite the fact it is Colombia and not Mexico. I guess coffee is not good enough to help pay agents from other countries. So it is safe to say the only profits Colombia has is drugs, prostitute and coffee? Not surprising.This is old news. It happened with secret service. The only reason they got in trouble was because they protect the President. This won't make a big deal. If you said they commissioned prostitutes in a US state, that would turn heads. Isn't prostitution normal in Colombia? What laws were broken there. Of course cartel was affiliated, they take control of everything bringing in money. The next story will be they gambled at a casino owned by cartel. Of course, the cartel darn near own everything in the Latin Americas, because no one stops them. Not the first time this happened and not the last. Didn't threaten US Homeland security. Who cares? Nice try journalist.
