Mexico signals they want the former drug czar sent back to Mexico
Mexico wants him back
The Attorney General's
Office (FGR) informed that once it has finished integrating its investigation case
against Genaro García Luna, he will ask the United States for his extradition
to Mexico.
"Once our
investigation file has finished being integrated, the Control Judge will be
asked for the arrest warrant for extradition against this person," the
Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.
He also mentioned that
García Luna included in the file is his alleged conspiracy in crimes of
trafficking of cocaine, false statements to judicial authorities, bribery,
co-participation in various crimes against health and organized crime, among
others. [essentially the same as U.S.]
The Prosecutor's Office
said that the folder will be sent in due time to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to comply with the corresponding extradition
The Government of the
United States accused and arrested in Texas Genaro García Luna, former
Secretary of Public Security during the six-year term of Felipe Calderón, for
allegedly serving the Sinaloa Cartel and receiving millionaire bribes in the
period from 2006 to 2012.
First court hearing today
Garcia Luna, the former
Mexican chief of security under Calderon had his first court hearing in Dallas today.
He gave up his right to
an “identification hearing”, and spoke through a court appointed interpreter.
His hearing is
scheduled for December 17.
The US federal sheriffs
escorted Garcia Luna to the Court along with six other men, but they sat him
separately in a corner, where he spoke briefly with a lawyer.
His hands and feet were
handcuffed and he was dressed in blue sneakers, jeans and a zip-up sweater.
During the hearing,
which lasted less than 10 minutes, a group of federal agents in civilian
clothes lined up in front of the small and only public door in the courtroom.
The former secretary's
lawyer declined to comment or confirm her full name after the hearing.
Garcia Luna, who lives
in Florida, was charged by the Brooklyn federal prosecutor's office with three
charges of illicit association for cocaine trafficking and lying in Citizenship
application statements, authorities said in a statement Tuesday.
Brooklyn prosecutors said
they will seek to move the former secretary to New York.
[Above: In a Tweet published on
his official Twitter account, Felipe de Jesús Calderón the former president
stated that, if the facts attributed to his former Secretary of Public Security
were confirmed, it would be a “Very serious lack of confidence in him”]
Federal prosecutor
Richard P. Donoghue said the former official accepted millions of dollars in
bribes from the then leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, Joaquín "El Chapo ''
Guzmán," when he controlled the Mexican federal police and was responsible
for ensuring public safety in Mexico''.
On December 4, Judge
Ramón E. Reyes, of Dallas, ordered the arrest of García Luna, who was arrested
yesterday in a suburb of that city.

Damn! I thought they would never try to get him back! A lot of time has passed! Better late than never though!
ReplyDelete3:03 Luna is the one that pay for the effort to get him to Mexico because with his power and the money he will live much better than in prisons of USA.
Delete6:01 CDM, YOOU ARE RIGHT, FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE.
Deletebut what about his partners in crime like luis cardenas palomino and carlos slim helu?
genarco betrayed all the capos del narco associated with him like vicente carrillo leyva vicente zambada niebla, el rey zambada, el barbas beltran leyva, and worst of all, got dozens of his own federal police commanders executed to silence them, also is a heavy suspect in the abduction and murder of enrique 'fredo' salinas de gortari,
Of course! Bring him back,give a big hug from amlo. Collect a payoff, and set free. Just plain insane.
ReplyDelete3:09 congratulations, you have the record for hugging AMLO's chorizo the longest
DeleteOtro que traiciono a arturo beltran, little by little you are going to fall.
ReplyDeleteEste fue quien desintegró la federación de sinaloa.
Delete9:52 EPN and garcia luna stole artuto beltran leyva's toluca airport in the estado de mexico, they used to share hangars when EPN was governor and FECAL was president
DeleteI think the U.S will take him to trial, make him serve his time and release him back mexico to be tried. If he is guilty, hopefully he is made an example of and given max time. Let's see what deal he is cut and how many he brings down with him. If he is taken to trial this might be as good as the Chapo trial.
ReplyDelete4:35 in mexico garcia luna will have the run of the prison and have conyugal visitation rights, on the US he won't have but a shithole monitored by a big giant TV and cameras
DeleteYes, extradite him back to mexico so he is able to resume his criminal activities and feed the corrupt government money train
ReplyDeleteJust like the U.S. does.
Delete315 the us puts criminals in a hole Mexican prison life is a joke if you have money
DeleteWe'll extradite him to back to Mexistan just as soon as he finishes serving his life sentence.
ReplyDeleteDe acuerdo
DeleteTha man who knows to much. He's safer in a federal prison.
ReplyDeletewow amlo is seriously on payroll. hell no keep him in USA. dirty laundry eh.
ReplyDeleteWow! Talk about a warning shot to AMLO. He better start taking sides or his drug alliances will be revealed too!!
ReplyDeleteHis alliance is clearly visible. Towards cartels and those corrupt officials in Mexico.
DeleteToo much information of who and whom is what worries those people in Mexico.
Smells like the cats are out of the box.
Hes better off working with cjng otherwise cds are gonna snitch on him
DeleteMijo 634 he has nothing on ALMO, because he was not there in office,when AlMO became president.
DeleteJaja! Genaro García Luna is architect of much things but no he is not architect of Mexico drug war. This title maybe sales las noticias in USA but he is only un estafador who fooled many peoples for many years. Genaro Garcia like many Mexicans with education is USA is only a ladrón in fancy suits.
ReplyDeleteOh now they want to put him in jail, im mexican but dam, i hate how they run the show, hate them politics
ReplyDeleteMore proof that AMLO is in bed with Mexico's cartels. He feels responsible for corrupt politicians. Total insanity!
ReplyDeleteWe will see what kind of power Old Mexican politicians have (Carlos Salinas de Gortari). He will be kill i federal prison before start talking like Epstein.
ReplyDeleteHe is the Jeffery Epstein of Mexico. He ran the federal police like well oiled corruption machine. Unfortunately he knows to much and can rat out a lot of whales in high places on both sides of the border. I hope he can survive federal custody without having suicidal thoughts like Epstein.
ReplyDeleteU got an AMLO troll just spewing nonsense,I'm no AMLO fan but that's annoying, & it takes the seriousness out these blog.
ReplyDeleteI am with u forget about Amlo I thought he really cared about Mexican people, he only cares about how much $$$$$ Cartel put in his pockets.
DeleteVIVA AMLO!
DeleteFACK THE OPPOSITION IN THE ASS.
whatever happens, AMLO is the real presidente the mexicans really elected themselves.
He's got connections with 🇲🇽 government, if hes6 extradited nothing will happen to Luna
ReplyDeleteYour right, just like that lady, that rep. the schools, she ripped off with thousands, got house arrest, and got her job back, and did not have to pay the money she took, Obrador accepted her with open arms.
DeleteDon't extradite him to Mexico otherwise he will go free.
ReplyDeleteLeave him in Mexico we got enough bad people in the U.S.
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting arrest...could chapo testify against him...leaner sentence for el chapo maybe
ReplyDeleteLuna has got to be an absolute idiot. He goes and hides in one of the only countrys on planet earth that will lock you up for drugs for longer than you can fathom. Did he think the Americans wouldnt notice his millionaire lifestyle on a barbers salary.
ReplyDeleteIf the US wants future extraditions from Mexico they may have to play ball on this and send him back
ReplyDeleteMexico wants this guy lol, why so the judge can let him out after a month, not a fat chance...let the US Court system handle it, with the charges on his file, he will more likely get 20+ years, then he will get deported and Mexico can trail him too.
ReplyDeleteAmlo is the most corrupt president ever!
ReplyDeleteI think trump and amlo are getting along good
ReplyDeleteni madres! que dejen a este genocida corruptazo alla en florence adx pa que sufra el maldito! se vendio al cds y puso a su disposicion a la PF ijala que nunca vea la luz del dia
ReplyDeleteHe should have gone to a non extradion country like Russia and enjoyed his millions with a blonde Russian babe. What an absolute idiot..... The US of all countries.
ReplyDeleteEl Ranchero de Juarez
Of course certain Mexican politicians want him back in Mexico,they want to make sure he dont spill too much of the frijoles.Seems like someone in the U.S is going after the REAL Bosses.
ReplyDeleteBring him back to Mexico and then set him free, ja ja
