All is not always fair or safe in love and war.
The FBI arrested a Florida woman on Monday with trying to hire a hitman to kill her ex-husband, who helped put her behind bars in a major drug-money laundering case, the Ft. Lauderdale Sun Sentinel reported.
Mercedes Morales, 57, of Miramar, Fla. allegedly gave a $5,000 diamond ring as a down payment to the hit man to kill her 45-year-old husband Fred Coral.
Only thing was, the hitman was actually working undercover with the FBI, the paper reported.
The paper reported that she was convicted in 2003 for being a courier for a Florida organization that laundered Colombian drug cartel cash. She was released in 2005.
Her husband, who cooperated with the feds, was also charged but never served time, the paper reported.
