A former United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officer was convicted this week of bribery after allowing vehicles transporting illegal drugs to enter the U.S. from Mexico in exchange for large payments from criminal organizations.
Leonard Darnell George, who worked at the San Ysidro border crossing between San Diego and Tijuana earlier this decade, was found guilty on Monday by a federal jury in U.S. District Court in San Diego.
