In 1998, CIA Inspector General Frederick Hitz confirmed what journalist Gary Webb had alleged: the CIA had evidence of Contra involvement in cocaine trafficking and hid it from the Justice Department, Congress, and even from the agency's own analytics division. The IG found that the war against the Sandinistas 'had taken precedence over law enforcement.' Webb, whose career was destroyed for reporting this, was found dead of two gunshot wounds to the head, ruled a suicide.
The CIA Inspector General admitted the agency covered up Contra drug trafficking for over a decade
βThere are instances where CIA did not, in an expeditious or consistent fashion, cut off relationships with individuals supporting the Contra program who were alleged to have engaged in drug trafficking.β
