Mexico City: Mexican prosecutors on Thursday exonerated a former defense minister who was arrested by the United States on drug trafficking charges and sent home to face a possible trial.
The attorney general's office said it would take no action against retired general Salvador Cienfuegos, whose surprise arrest at a Los Angeles airport in October had sparked diplomatic tensions.
