Little Rock Mexican Consul Accused of Being a Spy

Thank to Jenn at Green Country Values in Oklahoma who alerted us that Andrés Chao, the Mexican Consul in Little Rock, Arkansas, is being accused of being a spy in a newly released book. Jenn writes:

In a new book, Señal de alerta, regresión política para México (”Warning Signal: Regression Policy for Mexico”), Manuel Espino describes espionage activities of Felipe Calderón, Mexico’s current president, during the time that he (Espino) was the head of the PAN Party (Partido Acción Nacional, “National Action Party”) to which Calderón also belongs.

In the book, Espino describes how the “capos del calderonismo” (”Barons of Calderón”), aka Calderón and his “banda de espías” (”band of spies”) used phone taps to gather intelligence on their political opponents, in Mexico, in Europe, and in the CIS (formerly, Russia). One of these “Capos” or “Barons” was Andrés Chao, formerly an employee of the CIS in Europe, who is now the Mexican Consul in Little Rock, AR, which has jurisdiction over Green Country in Oklahoma.

Naturally, the accusations made in the book are being denied by the accusees. So, what is Chao’s interest in Little Rock? We do not know if he ever was a spy, or if so, if he’s still involved with espionage. . . .
