- Former Mexican Secretary of
Public Safety, Genaro García Luna, pleaded not guilty to the drug trafficking
charges against him during a hearing in NY district U.S. Federal Court.
García Luna rejected the three
accusations of conspiracy to traffic cocaine, for alleged protection of the
Sinaloa Cartel and one of false statements.
He also pleaded not guilty to the
accusation of continuous criminal enterprise, the most serious, since it
contemplates a penalty of at least 20 years in prison.
Judge Brian Cogan ( from El Chapo Trial) read the charges from a second indictment against the former Felipe Calderón official.
Cogan indicated that García Luna
is accused of participating in a conspiracy and working with other people to
transport and distribute more than 53 thousand kilograms of cocaine in the
United States between 2001 and 2017.
This new accusation is added to
the four previously charged crimes of drug trafficking and false declaration.
The judge indicated that, as part
of the new formal accusation, it is intended to seize money and property from
García Luna that he obtained for having distributed the narcotic in the United
States.
The hearing of the former
government official of Felipe Calderón started with stumbling blocks and was
suspended for several minutes, after the Mexican press did not respond to Judge
Cogan's calls for silence.
The US Justice had provided a
telephone line so that anyone could connect and listen to the hearing against
the former Mexican official, who is accused of receiving bribes from the
Sinaloa Cartel to provide him with protection.
Cogan asked Mexican journalists,
who spoke in Spanish, to silence their microphones, as they were interfering
with the audience.
A new hearing was held for December 7, at 10:30 a.m. EDT.
The feds expected a plea deal and have entered negotiations since January 2020
His azz is grassed. Serious evidence serious time, US does not mess around.
ReplyDeleteThe US doesn’t mess around but yet they are the biggest junkie for drug consuming.
DeleteUnless he pleas guilty and accepts million dollar fines. In that case he'll get a slap on the wrist and be back out on the streets
DeleteThere are more, cheaper and stronger drugs than ever on US streets, so it seems as if the US is fucking up BIG time!
DeleteA GOVERNMENT official in court for corruption but the sad thing IS, there are THOUSANDS in Mexico AND the U.S that WON'T even get charged..
ReplyDeleteThe RRALITY is he WILL get a SLAP in the wrist..
HE basicly did WHAT the DEA does BUT there can ONLY be ONE.. THAT'S the reason THE MEXICAN version of it is no longer active SINCE like 2 years... WHAT a JOKE
Will justice prevail?
ReplyDeleteThe fact he is only being charged for conspiracy, despite it being 3 times (lol), should tell you enough...
Deletea conspiracy charge is just as bad as getting charged for the actual crime and all he can get charged is with conspiracy as he didnt traffic or handle any drugs himself but is part of the conspiracy for looking the other way while taking bribes
DeleteBobby Shmurda pleaded guilty to conspiracy and he got 7 years, if he was convicted at trial then he would have been given 25 to Life. So yea conspiracy charges are bad.
DeleteLuna is going to do a lot of time.
ReplyDeleteNo hes not, he knows too much...
DeleteHes fucked theres so much evidence against him now he just needs to bring other big fishes down with him
DeleteHe probably won’t say anything to protect his family if they can’t get to him they’ll get to them
Delete11:54
DeleteThat's what they said of Chapo "he knows too much" and look at him now, he wasn't offered a deal. If Luna is offered a deal ok but of not it doesn't matter what he knows.
The US has los pelos de la burra in this case, pleading "not guilty" is useless and could do more harm to Genarco, he is not a presidential cabinet member in Mexico anymó...
ReplyDelete--Son in Law Colosio jr could spring genarco out of prison WHEN HE BECOMES PRESIDENTE HIMSELF.
THE First court appearance IS usually LIKE that, he declares HIMSELF innocent UNTIL proven guilty..
DeleteEVERY body is untitled to that amendment UNTIL they bring the FACTS
pleading not guilty is standard procedure in american courtrooms. no defendant no matter how guilty or how much evidence there is against him pleads guilty in their first court hearings. its always not guilty when being arraigned a guilty plea is given only after a deal has been worked out with the DA or its a minor case and your attorney advices to not fight it
DeleteCan’t believe this guy “Conrado” is taking the “I’m innocent” route. USA is like a woman, if they asked you what did you do? They’re asking you because they already know what you did. No offense Chivis, Yaqui, Canadiana.
ReplyDeleteIt's a test.
DeleteDo not compound a 'violation' with a lie.
We always know...😉
99.9% of people initially plead not guilty...
DeleteNot in federal cases, most take a deal or plead guilty.
DeleteI meant initially, when people are in their arraignment, everybody pleads not guilty. Even in federal cases. But this has been long after the arraignment, they're supposed to be withing 30 days. This case is definitely interesting.
DeleteThanks
DeleteThrow the book at him.
ReplyDeleteWhat about Calderon himself?
ReplyDeleteShouldn't he go to trial also?
He won't because the U.S. government invited him to be a proffesor at Harvard University hence making him look innocent of any wrong doing
All part of the U.S. plot to allow one cartel to take over Mexico.
1:51 the US government does not get anybody a job, Harvard U is a corrupt institution on their own right, they also produced zedillo, carlos salinas de gortari and his daddy Raul salinas Sr.
Delete9:31 why did the U.S. govenrment allow Calderon rather give him a Visa to teach at Harvard then if they are not complicit in who enters the country and why?
DeleteOnce again why is Calderon not a suspect of any wrongdoing either if he was above this Luna character?
They need to stick some ex preisdentes in Florence then sell their 11 cars and 9 houses for compensation for their victims
ReplyDeleteYou are so right my friend, put them all behind bars and go after all the money they and their families have. Judge a few and align thousands.
DeleteJust like el chapo this man will find out the huge difference between the mexican justice system whatever that may be. And the american justice system which is not perfect but you cant bullshit your way thru it.And just like chapo if he wld of pleaded guilty may be he wld go back to mexico in his older years like many others Oziel Cardenas Guillen wld be and example. He'll be home by what 2027 2028.
ReplyDeleteyou can definitely bullshit and get out of receiving true justice here in america. granted it might not be as much common practice as it is in mexico but it happens nonetheless. chapo couldnt beat it because he was to high profile and too much pressure from gov to convict him due to him embarrasing them over and over. look at Vicente Zambada who is getting less than 10 years at a minimum security facility and at the Flores brothers who also got a lil bit of time and get to keep millions in profits.
DeleteOsiel will be killed. He ratted. Not only the Zetas will be after him. JMO
DeleteElgranderojo. Los zetas that are left are working with cdg since el contador had a meet with all cdg and zeta factions except los metros and cdn. If oziel gets out he will be welcomed with open arms into matamoros. And be given the boss chair. Is his. If he gets killed wont be because he snitched it will be because new blood wont want to give up their spots like el kelin was or like carlos rosales was.
DeleteAny photos of Carlos Rosales' wife? Seems he lost the friendship with the valencia In-Laws of La Mencha who is her cousin, please help, thanks.
DeleteMake an example out of that motherfucker! Todos por parejo.
ReplyDeleteMost plead not guilty initially; then the case develops, and deals are made.
ReplyDeleteThey didn't offer Chapo a deal.
DeleteDepends on high the government wants go up the food chain. Chapo was at or near the top. A plea bargain from the state is a courtesy to the accused, and a deal need not be made on any case at all for that matter. Now some of you believe that Chapo had his masters, but perhaps the government chooses not to reveal this, in any event, neither can you.
DeleteAt his age he’s probably never going to get out.
ReplyDeleteScumbag looks unhappy, hope you rot in prison genaro!
ReplyDeleteThis guy worked for Chapo directly.
ReplyDeleteWould the US make a offer for him to roll on a past Mexican president? That could get really complicated, but then again, these days, nothing seems to be off limits.
ReplyDeleteIn the US, when the Feds indict you, there's a 97% chance you're going to be found guilty of something.
ReplyDeletethe juxtaposition of Mexico...right?
DeleteChapo gonna testify and give himself some rights in jail lol
ReplyDeleteWould pay to see Chapo testify against this dude.
DeleteNo matter what this guy has a solid case in his favor.
ReplyDeleteBasically thia guy was only being paid protection money by the Sinaloa cartel to take out their enemies. A very decent amount as well.
Why the hell would this protection service come with a drug deal clause???
The U.S. gov is only uaing this guy as a fall guy so that Calderon won't be targeted. They also want to silence those in the know about the U.S. plot to allow Sinaloa cartel to run all of Mexico.
3:11 the US gov that "allowed" shit is not in power no mó.
DeleteIn any case what yo uh need is to find out the operation name, its designer, the lobbyists that pushed for it, and the main beneficiaries of that Contract on Mexico, you will be surprised but won't die of it...
9:41 the main "contractors" are think tanks that run the U.S. intelligence agencies and are practically untraceable less you get accused of interfering with their actions or government espionage. They do not really have to make money themselves either in case you don't know this. What they want is one individual cartel to run Mexico so in case this cartel "runs amuck" for lack of a better term their sole leader/s will be easier to find therefore handle.
DeleteFind this out yourself in those government and or political websites you vistit and see the truth.
Find out who invited former Mexican President Calderon to teach at Harvard also while you're at it and start your search from there.
You might be surpriaed. I am not.
This is his initial plea, it'll bound to change when the DA starts dealing. He won't take the stand like his compadre El Chupeta but he will sing!
ReplyDeleteHey cheeves thank you for the update and adding the indictment. Good work as always
