The DEA and Prostitutes

In the early years of the 21st century, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) assigned some of its agents to Colombia to fight the war on drugs. This week a report about some of these activities was issued by the IG for DOJ. Here's a quote from that report, "The foreign officer allegedly arranged 'sex parties' with prostitutes funded by the local drug cartels for these DEA agents at their government-leased quarters, over a period of several years".

At these parties, the cartel also provided protection for the DEA agents' weapons and property during the parties. Furthermore, the report goes on, "The foreign officers further alleged that in addition to soliciting prostitutes, three DEA SSAs [special agents] in particular were provided money, expensive gifts, and weapons from drug cartel members."
