    SUBJECT: DRUG CARTEL PRODUCED VIDEOTAPE ALLEGES CORRUPTION AT HIGHEST
    LEVELS OF MEXICAN GOVERNMENT

    CLASSIFIED BY: Luis Moreno, CG, Monterrey, Department of State.
    REASON: 1.4 (b), (d)

    ¶1. (SBU)  During a private meeting on April 27, the Consul
    General asked Nuevo Leon Governor Natividad Gonzalez Paras about
    recent public statements made by the State Assistant Attorney
    General, Aldo Fasci Zuazua.  Without being solicited, Fasci told
    reporters on April 24 that photographic or video evidence may
    surface linking State and Federal Governments to organized
    crime, and that the public should disregard this evidence as a
    smear tactic on the part of drug cartels.  Public discussion
    ensued and focused on the question of why Fasci would make such
    a statement unless he already knew that the evidence existed.
    On April 25, State Attorney General Luis Carlos Trevino publicly
    recanted Fasci's statement and said that the Assistant Attorney
    General had not been speaking on behalf of the Nuevo Leon State
    Government.

    ¶2. (S)  During the CG's meeting, Governor Gonzalez confided that
    he had seen "the video" to which Fasci was alluding.  During a
    recent drug cartel raid, the Nuevo Leon State Police had
    recovered a video hidden within a stash of money.  The Governor
    said that the video showed an unidentified man, wearing only a
    bloody undershirt and underwear, saying that Governor Gonzalez's
    Chief of Staff, Rogelio Cerda, was a corrupt official in the
    pockets of the drug cartels.  According to the Governor, the
    unidentified man also said that some of the highest ranking
    members of the Mexican government are on the narco-traffickers'
    payroll, and specifically mentioned Mexican Secretary of
    Defense, Gen. Guillermo Galvan, and Mexican President Felipe
    Calderon.  Governor Gonzalez stated that the unidentified man
    making these allegations appeared calm, with his legs casually
    crossed, and so the Governor thought that the videotape was
    "staged."  When asked where the tape was, Governor Gonzalez said
    that he had shown it to President Calderon in Mexico City and
    that the President had immediately called Attorney General
    Rafael Macedo de la Concha and told him to launch an
    investigation.

    ¶3.  (S)  COMMENT.  Unfortunately, without seeing the alleged
    videotape, it is difficult to ascertain the validity of the
    Governor's statements, particularly about it being "staged"
    because the video clearly was not meant to be found in a stash
    of money in a narco safe house.  While Post law enforcement
    officials have long believed that certain individuals in
    Governor Gonzalez's cabinet are corrupt, including Chief of
    Staff Rogelio Cerda and Secretary of Public Security Antonio
    Garza, without knowing the identity of the man in the videotape,
    it is difficult to determine the weight his allegations should
    be given.  Governor Gonzalez has indicated his strong
    willingness to fight corruption and narco-violence in the State,
    and is pushing for the establishment of a vetted State Police
    unit, an endeavor Post feels would help mitigate the rising
    insecurity in Nuevo Leon.  Post will continue to maintain an
    open line of communication with Governor Gonzalez about this
    issue.  END COMMENT.

    MORENO
