ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The leader of the federal agency that investigated the DWI corruption scandal has left his position as Special Agent in Charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in Albuquerque. Now, former SAC Raul Bujanda sat down with KRQE’s Anchor, Dean Staley, for an extended exit interview that covered crime, guns, and the state’s biggest police corruption scandal.
Bujanda discusses his time with the FBI, youth violence, and speaks candidly about teens’ access to guns. “Nothing’s gonna happen unless we get control of one of these two things: either our appetite for drugs, or our overall supply of guns,” Bujanda explained.
What does the former FBI leader believe is the main driver of crime in New Mexico? Will more cops be charged in the corruption scheme?
Those questions and more are discussed in the full interview above.
