Gonzalez said investigators found what Mercer-Erwin told WFAA to be inaccurate.
“They (AGC) weren t doing any vetting at all, and that some of these planes were being placed in the hands of drug traffickers,” Gonzalez told WFAA. “And she (Mercer-Erwin) knew that as well, because of the number of planes that got seized.”
Gonzalez said after he was asked to look into the Mercer-Erwin operated AGC, his office was contacted by investigators with the Department of Homeland Security Investigations in Brownsville about acase they were working on.
“They began their presentation and lo and behold, it was the same case I had been asked to investigate,” he said. ”Basically, what they had investigated and found was that American Guaranty Corporation or AGC had had a lot of planes over the years involved in seizures involving large quantities of drugs.”
