Inside The DWI Corruption Scheme Wiretaps

What were officers saying when they thought no one was listening? Newly unsealed federal search warrants offer one of the clearest looks yet into the DWI corruption scheme that has shaken public trust in law enforcement across New Mexico. Former FBI Special Agent in Charge Raul Bujanda joins Chris and Gabby to break down what investigators heard in wiretapped phone calls, how federal agents used various pieces of evidence to build their case, and what the conversations revealed about the culture inside the DWI unit. From casual discussions about criminal activity to excuses for missing court appearances, the wiretaps provide a rare behind-the-scenes view of a corruption investigation that's led to 13 guilty pleas so far. How did the case come together? What will it take to restore public confidence in law enforcement moving forward?
