| Border Patrol Agents Accused in Drug Scheme AP | KLTV | 04/07/2005 LAREDO, Texas Two Laredo brothers -- including a lawman -- are accused of accepting bribes from drug dealers. Prosecutors in Laredo say an indictment unsealed today names 35-year-old Senior Border Patrol agent Juan Alvarez and 38-year-old Jose Guadalupe Alvarez. The 12-count indictment outlines extortion, bribery, drug conspiracy and firearm charges against the siblings. The brothers are charged with accepting about one and a-half (M) million dollars in bribes to allow marijuana and cocaine through a checkpoint. The time frame was June of 2003 -- until last month. Both men are held pending a court appearance tomorrow. Juan Alvarez worked at the Border Patrol's highway checkpoint at Hebbronville. Jose Guadalupe Alvarez is accused of working as the middleman between his brother and the drug dealers.
