3 Suspected of Treason Get House Arrest
By Associated Press

MEXICO CITY -- Three people suspected of selling data from Mexican voter records to a U.S. company have been placed under house arrest for 30 days, investigators said Tuesday.

They said officials were investigating possible charges of treason and cover-up.

The federal attorney general's office sought the court order for house arrest after months of investigations into the sale of information to Georgia-based ChoicePoint Inc.

The investigators from the attorney general's office spoke on condition they not be named and they did not identify the three people involved. Mexican law sharply restricts how much information officials can reveal about investigations before charges are filed.

ChoicePoint had assembled a database containing the personal information of 65 million voting-age Mexican citizens, information which the U.S. government purchased to help law enforcement and other investigations.

An Associated Press report in April about the database led to outcry in Mexico and other Latin American countries and set off investigations into how ChoicePoint had obtained the supposedly confidential records.

After the Mexican government complained that the material had probably been obtained illegally and then sold to ChoicePoint, the suburban Atlanta company cut off access to that information.

Mexican law punishes treason with a prison sentence of up to 40 years while cover-up brings three months to three years in prison.
