TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - FBI agents posing as cocaine traffickers in Arizona caught 16 current and former U.S. soldiers and law enforcement personnel who took about $220,000 in bribes to help move the drugs through checkpoints, Justice Department officials said Thursday.

Those charged include a former Immigration and Naturalization Service inspector, a former Army sergeant, a former federal prison guard, current and former members of the Arizona Army National Guard and the state corrections department, and a Nogales police officer, officials said.

Many individuals charged were sworn personnel having the task of protecting society and securing America's borders.

There is corruption with authorative figures everywhere! I bet you the investigation will find more people involved who hold positions of power, but I am surprised they already said 16 people are involved. Usually reports of officers doing anything illegal like this are not reported as being major, and just something insignificant.
