El Rey and El Grande are among those expected to testify against Garcia Luna
He was the man chosen
by then president Filipe Calderon, to lead Mexico’s “War on Drugs”, and today,
in a Brooklyn courtroom, Genaro Garcia Luna pleaded “Not Guilty”, to charges of
international cocaine trafficking conspiracy and on charges he accepted a
fortune in bribes from Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s Sinaloa cartel allowing its
operation to function with impunity. He is also accused of lying to immigration
while applying for a US citizenship.
Prosecutors indicated
they were working to “resolve the case without trial”, meaning a plea agreement
of some type, typical, however El Chapo was never offered discussions to talk about
a plea.
Garcia Luna's attorneys
are seeking bail, prosecutors ask for his detainment as he is an “unacceptable
risk of flight”. They pointed out his
high ranking connections.
His role in
facilitating the Sinaloa Cartel organization, became a point of testimony of
several witnesses, in the trial of El Chapo.
Among them, Jesus
"El Rey" Zambada, former chief of operations of the Sinaloa Cartel,
and brother of current leader, El Mayo, Rey said he had bribed Garcia Luna,
with whom he said he had met in a restaurant twice and that in both times he
had delivered money.
On the first occasion,
according to Zambada, was in 2005, when Garcia Luna was the head of the AFI,
under the mandate of Vicente Fox, and the second occasion transpired in the following year, after having accepted the
post of Secretary of Public Security with Felipe Calderón.
In the matter of charges
for making false statements:
On June 1, 2018, in a statement to the United States Customs and Immigration Services (USCIS), the defendant falsely stated and represented that he had never committed, 'assisted in committing, or attempted to commit a crime or offense for which he had not been arrested, when, in fact, the defendant then and there knew and believed, he had committed, assisted in committing and attempted to commit crimes and offenses for which he had not been arrested. Title 18, United States Code, Sections 100l(a)(2) and 3551 et seq.)
Garcia Luna's wife and
two children were in the courtroom in a demonstration of support.

AMLO is cleaning house! The process of replacing the Calderón folks with those loyal to his backers is underway.
ReplyDeleteBoth Calderón and Garcia Luna were still pulling a lot of strings which blocked access to key positions for the (obviously corrupt) clans behind AMLO.
The top picture is great! Showing two ultra corrupt individuals smiling and gesturing and looking very very likeable.
ReplyDeletefunny how the clintons are always pictured with thugs. Epstein....
ReplyDeleteJust 2 douchebags there.
ReplyDeleteExcuse me but El Chapo would like also like to testify how he dropped millions on Genaro's sleezy lap. Please make arraignments Sicario 006 to transport El Patron from Colorado to NY. I hope El Senor gets a good sentence reduction.
ReplyDeleteIt wouldn’t benefit the Americans who plan on making a movie about the short rat the masses don’t know he was a a envious back stabbing informant
DeleteI take it his backstabbings affected you directly?
DeleteHe needs to be made an example of for those in similar positions of power. North of the border there is the rule of law. A concept unfamiliar to him.
ReplyDeleteOh looky, standing next to Ol' Dirty Hillary...such a suprise.
ReplyDeleteDamn Mexican government work pays out the money. Who woulda thunk it!
ReplyDeleteBuena nota chivis y feliz año bendiciones y los mejores deseos

DeleteWhat about genarco garcia Luna's business partner CARLOS SLIM HELÙ?
ReplyDeleteThey also had Israeli partners according to REPORTE INDIGO...
So much for being big and king
ReplyDeleteWhen are they gonna lock her up? She's always with corrupt jerks. Guarantee she's still getting a cut. Who knows they may suicide this guy. Just like they suicided Epstein. Meaning they'll make it look like suicide. Then hide him somewhere until he dies. The way they did Josef Mengale. Over operation paperclip. And let me just clarify something. Trump meet Epstein just as much as Clinton. Guarantee trump isn't innocent. But at least trump isn't good at hiding. The way Mexico's politicians are. At least he's bringing these issues to light. Mexicans been getting massacred. Not EPN Clinton Obama, or anyone else ever gaf. He may be just exploiting the drug wars. Seeing as elections are coming. But at least the world sees Mexico. Screw american intervention. Screw relying on politicians. Mexico needs the second amendment.

I guess the fifth amendment does not apply for immigrants.
