Perks of the Job

Diego Rodriguez

From NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth:

The agent who oversaw the largest Mafia bust in FBI history was named Monday as the new special agent in charge of the bureau’s Dallas
office.

Diego Rodriguez, who joined the FBI in 1990, replaces Robert Casey, who is retiring on April 30.

In New York, Rodriguez now supervises the criminal division, where he has overseen cases involving public corruption, violent gangs and financial crimes.

In January 2011, more than 800 agents fanned out across the Northeast and rounded up more than 100 accused mobsters on charges ranging from murder to loan sharking.

News reports in New York also indicate Rodriguez has sometimes used creative methods to go after wrongdoing -- even pleading with criminals to turn themselves in.
