Mexico wants him back

The Attorney General's Office (FGR) informed that once it has finished integrating its investigation case against Genaro García Luna, he will ask the United States for his extradition to Mexico.

"Once our investigation file has finished being integrated, the Control Judge will be asked for the arrest warrant for extradition against this person," the Prosecutor's Office said in a statement.

He also mentioned that García Luna  included in the file is  his alleged conspiracy in crimes of trafficking of cocaine, false statements to judicial authorities, bribery, co-participation in various crimes against health and organized crime, among others. [essentially the same as U.S.]

The Prosecutor's Office said that the folder will be sent in due time to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to comply with the corresponding extradition

The Government of the United States accused and arrested in Texas Genaro García Luna, former Secretary of Public Security during the six-year term of Felipe Calderón, for allegedly serving the Sinaloa Cartel and receiving millionaire bribes in the period from 2006 to 2012.

The Department of Justice filed on December 4, four charges of drug trafficking and conspiracy against García Luna before the Federal Court for the Eastern District of New York, in Brooklyn.

First court hearing today

Garcia Luna, the former Mexican chief of security under Calderon had his first court hearing  in Dallas today.

He gave up his right to an “identification hearing”, and spoke through a court appointed interpreter.
His hearing is scheduled for December 17.

The US federal sheriffs escorted Garcia Luna to the Court along with six other men, but they sat him separately in a corner, where he spoke briefly with a lawyer.

His hands and feet were handcuffed and he was dressed in blue sneakers, jeans and a zip-up sweater.

During the hearing, which lasted less than 10 minutes, a group of federal agents in civilian clothes lined up in front of the small and only public door in the courtroom.

The former secretary's lawyer declined to comment or confirm her full name after the hearing.

Garcia Luna, who lives in Florida, was charged by the Brooklyn federal prosecutor's office with three charges of illicit association for cocaine trafficking and lying in Citizenship application statements, authorities said in a statement Tuesday.

Brooklyn prosecutors said they will seek to move the former secretary to New York.


[Above: In a Tweet published on his official Twitter account, Felipe de Jesús Calderón the former president stated that, if the facts attributed to his former Secretary of Public Security were confirmed, it would be a “Very serious lack of confidence in him”]

Federal prosecutor Richard P. Donoghue said the former official accepted millions of dollars in bribes from the then leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, Joaquín "El Chapo '' Guzmán," when he controlled the Mexican federal police and was responsible for ensuring public safety in Mexico''.

On December 4, Judge Ramón E. Reyes, of Dallas, ordered the arrest of García Luna, who was arrested yesterday in a suburb of that city.

  4. I think the U.S will take him to trial, make him serve his time and release him back mexico to be tried. If he is guilty, hopefully he is made an example of and given max time. Let's see what deal he is cut and how many he brings down with him. If he is taken to trial this might be as good as the Chapo trial.

    ReplyDelete
  14. He is the Jeffery Epstein of Mexico. He ran the federal police like well oiled corruption machine. Unfortunately he knows to much and can rat out a lot of whales in high places on both sides of the border. I hope he can survive federal custody without having suicidal thoughts like Epstein.

  20. Luna has got to be an absolute idiot. He goes and hides in one of the only countrys on planet earth that will lock you up for drugs for longer than you can fathom. Did he think the Americans wouldnt notice his millionaire lifestyle on a barbers salary.

  21. If the US wants future extraditions from Mexico they may have to play ball on this and send him back

    ReplyDelete
  22. Mexico wants this guy lol, why so the judge can let him out after a month, not a fat chance...let the US Court system handle it, with the charges on his file, he will more likely get 20+ years, then he will get deported and Mexico can trail him too.
