If drugs continue to flow from Latin American nations to the U.S., blame it on some Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents stationed in the continent, who apparently are conniving with drug lords in exchange for sex parties with prostitutes supplied to the agents.

The services of the sex trade workers are paid for by the Colombian drug cartel. And when this shady deal was discovered by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the DEA agents were asked to explain, they did not cooperate, according to a DOJ report released on Thursday, News.vice.com reports.

The DOJ's Office of the Inspector General said the agents are from the DEA; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; FBI and U.S. Marshall Services. The most number of incidents of improper behavior was by the DEA agents. Not only did they indulge in sex parties, but they also did not comply with DOJ inquiries.

The incidents go as far back in 2005, although the DOJ investigation covered mainly from 2009 through 2012. The report specifically identified 10 DEA agents who solicited prostitutes in parties held in their units paid for by the U.S. government.

The building managers where they rent units have received complaints from other tenants about the noise generated by their bacchanalian parties. The DEA supervisor in Colombia had been informed of the tenant complaints as well as the sex parties.

The regional director, however, did not report the problem to Washington on the grounds that it was "a management issue."

Some of the agents who took part in the parties claimed they were unaware that the sex trade workers they had fun with were paid for by the drug cartel in Colombia. The DOJ rejected their alibi and said that as agents, they should have known who was shouldering the cost of their orgies.

Besides prostitutes, the cartel also gifted three of the 10 agents with money, costly presents and weapons, reports the Sydney Morning Herald. After the probe, seven of the 10 agents admitted attending the parties and were suspended between two and 10 days, while one agent was cleared of all wrongdoing.
