Former Mexican minister Genaro Garcia Luna, a former champion of the fight against drugs in his country, was found guilty on Tuesday February 21 by a jury in a New York court of cocaine trafficking between Mexico and the United States.
The 12 jurors of the Brooklyn federal court found that this former Minister of Public Security of Mexican President Felipe Calderon (2006-2012) was guilty of five counts, including that of having received millions of dollars to protect the Sinaloa Cartel and involved in trafficking at least 53 tons of cocaine from Mexico to the United States from 2001 to 2012.
