Genaro Garcia Luna, Secretary of Public Security in Mexico from 2006 to 2012, was found guilty Tuesday by a federal jury in Brooklyn, New York, of engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise that included six drug-related violations.
The verdict followed a four-week trial and comes with a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years‘ imprisonment.
„Garcia Luna, who once stood at the pinnacle of law enforcement in Mexico, will now live the rest of his days having been revealed as a traitor to his country and to the honest members of law enforcement who risked their lives to dismantle drug cartels,“ said U.S. Attorney Breon Peace.
