The former main adviser in the militarized war against drug trafficking launched by Calderón, becomes a cooperative witness....

On August 19th The United States Department of Justice presented to the federal court in Brooklyn, New York, new evidence (recordings) related to the case against the former Secretary of Public Safety of Mexico, Genaro García Luna.

In a two-page document delivered to federal judge Brian Cogan, and with a copy to García Luna's attorney, federal prosecutors delivered 17 intercepted recordings (telephone conversations) to the former adviser, right-hand man and confidant of former President Felipe Calderón.

In addition to the “intercepted recordings”, the United States Department of Justice also presented two files that contain information corresponding to the financial history of the also former head of the defunct Federal Investigation Agency (AFI).

Without disclosing the content of the intercepted recordings and the documents with the financial information, US Attorney Richard P. Donoghue notes that this new evidence will be reviewed because it adds to the thousands of evidence that the prosecution has accumulated.

García Luna is accused of drug trafficking by the United States government, for which he was arrested in the state of Texas, last December, and later extradited to New York, where the preparatory hearings for the trial are held.

The former main adviser in the militarized war against drug trafficking launched by Calderón, through his public defender César de Castro, negotiates an agreement with the Department of Justice to avoid prosecution and become a cooperating witness.

In a trial and if convicted, the right hand of former President Calderón in the so-called six-year term of death, would be sentenced to life imprisonment as the maximum penalty, and would receive a sentence of 10 years in prison as the minimum punishment.

If he reaches an agreement to become a cooperating witness, García Luna would appear as a witness for the United States government in legal proceedings against people accused of drug trafficking and money laundering from the sale of narcotics.

  2. It just to say that if you are a person of high rank in Mexico you can come to America and be put in the Witness Protection Program with your family. What a great way to make you way to America. Plus....you think his family doesn't have other members in Mexico that will open their arms to him eventually as times goes by. What a shame. I know we punish the criminals, but some who are not considered criminals because their hands dont'get dirty are probably worse than the ones we know about.

    1. Why wasting the money he made so much afford to gain it? Go for public defender and if trial goes wrong make a plea, become CW and keep your money.

  5. You protect witnesses when you do not have evidence,
    but in the case of genarco, they still have to deport his ass back to Mexico,
    Just because, there are witnesses to his crimes in spite of all the witnesses he got whacked like Commander Edgar Eusebio Millan, El Barbas, la Barbie, and commander Javier Herrera Valles who escaped death but did 4 years for preventing FECAL about Genarco, unless Genarco is framing his beloved Partner and BOSS FOR LIFE Carlos Slim Helu, (Revista Indigo says so...)
