The federal government has sent a diplomatic note to the United States Embassy in Mexico to seek information about the decade-old "fast and furious" gun-running sting, renewing focus on a controversial issue that dates back to the administrations of former Mexican president Felipe Calderón and his US counterpart Barack Obama.
Under the 2009-2011 scheme, the United States government allowed people to buy guns illegally in the US and smuggle them into Mexico so that the weapons could be tracked and law enforcement officials could locate and arrest crime bosses.
However, the United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lost track of most of the weapons, some of which were used in fatal shootings of both Mexican and US citizens.
Referring to the details of the diplomatic note in a video message, Foreign Affairs Minister Marcelo Ebrard said that if the United States government executed the gun-running scheme without the knowledge of Mexican officials, it violated Mexico's sovereignty.
