Francisco Camacho Barajas, 29, of Mexico City, told jurors in U.S. federal court that he worked for at least two men who smuggled cocaine for Landin Martinez and who identified the 52-year-old as their boss.While serving as a Mexican police commander, Carlos Landin Martinez was running a large-scale drug smuggling operation in Reynosa for the Gulf Cartel, a witness testified Tuesday.
"They told me many times who was the boss," Camacho said through an interpreter. "It was Carlos Landin, El Puma."
Camacho's testimony came in the second day of the prosecution's case against the cartel's accused second-in-command.
Landin Martinez, who was in charge of the Tamaulipas state police, faces 10 counts of drug smuggling, conspiracy and money laundering in connection with the organization's purported activities from 2005 to 2007.
