This is how the García Luna trial goes
During the trial against the ex-policeman, Sergio Villarreal Barraganknown as “The big one”, he assured that he witnessed, starting in 2001, the payment of bribes to the former Mexican secretary in exchange for his help to drug traffickers, particularly the Sinaloa cartel.
He pointed out that the former official warned criminal groups of raids, including that one day he took 14 million dollars in cardboard boxes from a warehouse full of cocaine that the police had seized from the Gulf Cartel and delivered to the group of Sinaloa.
“El Grande” is a drug trafficker, who joined the organized crime after years working as a police officer and who was sentenced to prison in the United States.
United States prosecutors also ‘recycled’ evidence that was used in the trial against the drug trafficker Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzmanwho in 2019 was sentenced to life imprisonment by US justice.
With this, they seek to establish a relationship between the former official and the capo as well as prove that “in exchange for multimillion-dollar bribes from the Sinaloa Cartel, Genaro Garcia Luna allowed cocaine to be trafficked into the United States.”
