Idiomatic expression on a popular telenovela?

I got this from the novela "Llena de Amor". At a company board meeting Lorenzo has been confronted with the discovery that he has been stealing corporate funds for 10 years. His arch-rival (Mauricio) piles on and says this
"A mí, no me extraña para nada qúe Lorenzo le echavo mano a la saca se empresa. Todos los saben qúe es un transa."
(I apologize for any inaccuracies my memory may have infused!)
What is the exact meaning of Mauricio's words?

Gracias, Heidita. I think "transa" is a Mexican expression for "trancero" (traitor) - bmoraga, Jun 13, 2011
En México como en otros países de Latinoamérica "transero" significa: embaucador, estafador, que comete fraudes. - Agora, Jun 13, 2011
