Mexican federal prosecutors have accused a former state attorney general of treason for allowing US agents to join a drug-lab raid, and they arrested him again within hours of a state judge ordering him not to be jailed. Federal agents took Cesar Jauregui Moreno into custody after a Chihuahua court hearing ended Sunday night, and he is being taken to Mexico City to face a federal judge, with a transfer to the Altiplano prison, El Universal reported.
