Welcome to episode 109 of FBI Retired Case File Review with Jerry Williams.

I'm a retired agent writing crime fiction inspired by true crime FBI cases.

Today we get to speak to retired agent Tony Rubleto who served in the FBI for 25 years.

He spent most of his State-side Bureau career in California

with assignments in the San Francisco, San Diego, and Los Angeles divisions.

Tony Rubletto also served significant time working for the FBI in Mexico

as an assistant legal attache in Mexico City where he was

responsible for criminal matters and as a border liaison officer, B.L.O. during his time in San Diego. In this episode, Tony

Robletto reviews three of the many murder cases and fugitive apprehensions and

extradition he was involved in during his various assignments in Mexico,

including the Congresswoman and fled to Mexico and an American man who stabbed his American boyfriend 24 times while vacationing in Mexico and then fled to the U. During his assignments in Mexico, Tony Rubleto, who is a native Spanish speaker, conducted investigative leads with the assistance of his Mexican law enforcement partners,

arranged case coordination meetings between U.S. and Mexican prosecutors conducted pretrial interviews and legalized evidence for use

and U.S. federal courts.

His efforts contributed significantly to the capture and extradition of the main subjects involved in a U.S. consulate murder investigation.

This investigation was the recipient of the 2011 Leagat Office

Investigative Excellence Award. Tony Rubleto retired from the Bureau last year and currently resides in San Diego.

Every time I conduct an interview with a retired agent I learn something new.

And this episode was no exception. It's really

fascinating to learn about how the FBI operates in foreign countries and so I

think you're really going to enjoy this episode.

But before we get to the interview, I just have a few things that I want to remind you

about.
