Air Marshal Hints at Larger Conspiracy
by TChris
As TalkLeft noted here, two air marshals have been arrested for smuggling cocaine. Now it appears that one of the marshals might rat out other marshals who may have participated in a broader drug smuggling conspiracy.
Stuart Maneth, an agent with the inspector general's office of the Homeland Security Department, testified that one of the suspects had told the authorities that after their arrest last week, he was warned by his co-defendant against "giving up other F.A.M.'s."
Of course, federal marshals are well aware that federally prosecuted criminals can gain a huge advantage by ratting out others, truthfully or not. What they say should be taken with several grains of salt, but it will be interesting to see if evidence of a larger conspiracy materializes.
