Editing Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (section)

== Arrest ==
Félix Gallardo was arrested in Mexico on April 8, 1989.<sup>[13]</sup> He was charged by the authorities in Mexico and the United States with the kidnapping and murder of United States DEA Agent Enrique Camarena, racketeering, drug smuggling and multiple violent crimes.<sup>[14]</sup>

According to American officials, Felix Gallardo also spent time as 
the Sinaloa governor's house guest, which governor Antonio Toledo Corro 
has denied. When asked about his association with Felix Gallardo, 
governor Toledo said he was "unaware of any outstanding arrest warrants" against Félix Gallardo.<sup>[13]</sup>

 The arrest of Félix Gallardo was the catalyst to exposing the
widespread corruption at political and law enforcement levels in Mexico. Within days of his arrest, and under pressure from the media, several 
police commanders were arrested and as many as 90 officers deserted.<sup>[13]</sup> No politicians were charged.<sup>[''citation needed'']</sup>
