"We wouldn't go and put something in, especially an affidavit, if we didn't think that there was going to be more to it," Special Agent in Charge Raul Bujanda said.

KRQE News 13 has learned one of the officers who resigned last year connected to the federal investigation into the DWI Unit scandal now works for the New Mexico Children, Youth, and Families Department.

The retirement comes the same day as an interview was scheduled with the Internal Affairs Task Force, according to police.

It’s been a year since the public learned of the massive corruption scandal involving a scheme to make DWI cases disappear. Federal documents last week, shed more light on the conspiracy involving police officers and attorneys that dates back more than two decades.

The Albuquerque Police Department announced on Tuesday that Lt. Kyle Curtis retired from the department before he could be interviewed as part of the investigation into the DWI Unit scandal. He previously worked in the DWI Unit.
