Surveillance Evangelist Arrested in California

The EFF reports that, in an ironic twist of karma, FBI agents arrested a Mexican tycoon named Jose Susumo Azano Matsura at his Coronado, Calif. home on Wednesday as part of a political bribery investigation based on captured emails, seized banking records, and covertly recorded conversations. Azano, and three Americans who acted as his agents, are now facing felony charges in an alleged conspiracy to illegally pump roughly $500,000 into local election campaigns in the border city of San Diego.

Does SoylentNews have contributors from Mexico to share with us some insight (or just local gossip) about this shoddy character?"

    The irony it seems is that Azano was hoist with his own petard and arrested by use of the very same surveillance technologies and techniques that he and his company promote so heavily.
