DEA Agents Under Investigation For Hiring Prostitutes
Three DEA agents are under investigation for hiring prostitutes and the evidence indicates this ‘was not just a one-time incident’ and may span across several agencies.
The United States Department of Justice has launched an investigation into 3 Drug Enforcement Agents for hiring protests.
CNN reports they have spoken to three US senators on the matter and quoted one of the Senators, who requested not to be identified, as saying “the evidence indicates that this likely was not just a one-time incident”.
Sen. Susan Collins of Maine further released a statement saying “It’s disturbing that we may be uncovering a troubling culture that spans more than one law enforcement agency.”
The scandal is reported to have first focused on Secret Service agents and military personnel and comes on the heels of the prostitution scandal involving the U.S. Secret Service in Columbia at the Summit of the Americas.

Washington (CNN) — Three Drug Enforcement Administration agents are under investigation for allegedly hiring prostitutes in Cartagena, Colombia, a congressional source confirms to CNN.
According to this source, House Homeland Security Chairman Peter King, R-New York, and committee investigators have been “aware of this for some time.”
News of the investigation comes on the heels of a prostitution scandal involving U.S. military and Secret Service agents who were detailed to Colombia in April in advance of President Barack Obama’s trip to the Summit of the Americas. Several Secret Service members have been dismissed as a result of investigations.

CNN spoke with three senators — one of whom asked not to be identified — who confirmed the investigation concerning the DEA agents. Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont, the Judiciary Committee chairman, said senators found out about the matter a week ago but were asked to keep it quiet until the agents were removed from Colombia.

Collins released a statement later Monday, saying, “It’s disturbing that we may be uncovering a troubling culture that spans more than one law enforcement agency.
“In addition to the Secret Service scandal, we now learn that at least two DEA agents apparently entertained female foreign national masseuses in the Cartagena apartment of one of the agents. The evidence uncovered thus far indicates that this likely was not just a one-time incident,” Collins added in her statement.
DEA spokesman Rusty Payne said the matter has been turned over to the Justice Department inspector general.
