Ouch. It’s rare to see someone who made it that high up in an organization like this– even after they’ve left — get indicted.

MIAMI — The former chief of the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration’s Miami office who led the agency’s cases against infamous Panama strongman Manuel Noriega and Medellín cartel kingpin Fabio Ochoa was indicted by a federal grand jury Thursday for ordering the shredding of records belonging to disgraced banker Allen Stanford.
Tom Raffanello, who left the DEA five years ago to become Stanford’s local security chief, was charged with ordering workers to destroy thousands of documents just days after government agents shut down the banking empire in a massive fraud case.
