An ex-top police official of Mexico was arrested and is currently facing charges of torture from incidents that happened almost 10 years ago, the state announced on Monday.
The suspect, who was reported to be the former right-hand of ex-security secretary Genero Garcia Luna, was identified as former Federal Police commander Luis Cardenas Palomino.
It was reported by the attorney general of Mexico that Cardenas Palomino was apprehended on the outskirts of Mexico City. He was arrested with charges of torturing a suspect in kidnapping back in 2012.
