Mexican mayor arrested in connection to alleged drug cartel training camp, official says

A mayor from a western Mexico town was arrested as part of a probe into a suspected drug cartel training camp where human bones and clothing were found, a federal official said.

Teuchitlán Mayor José Murguía Santiago was arrested as part of an investigation by government prosecutors into probable omissions or complicity of authorities with the Jalisco New Generation cartel, a federal source told AFP on Saturday.

The source requested anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
