Between 2001 and 2008, Genaro Garcia Luna received million-dollar bribes from the Sinaloa Cartel, according to what the drug trafficker Sergio “El Grande” Villarreal declared on Monday, who is one of the key witnesses against the former secretary of public security in the trial in the United States.
The witness indicated that at that time, the Sinaloa cartel dominated Chihuahua, Sinaloa, Durango and Sonora, in addition to having a presence in Baja California, Baja California Sur, Colima, Chiapas, Guerrero, Guanajuato, the State of Mexico, Jalisco, Nayarit, Nuevo León, Oaxaca, Querétaro, Quintana Roo, part of Yucatan and Zacatecas. And this, as he declared, could not be possible without García Luna.
As reported in The Truth Newsthis Monday began the trial against García Luna, the official who was in charge of the war against drug trafficking in the six-year term of Felipe Calderón, who now faces charges of drug trafficking in the United States.

According to the testimony of “El Grande”, García Luna received on a monthly basis between one million and one and a half million dollars from the Sinaloa cartel, by way of bribes to let them operate in the country. Which contributed to the expansion of this criminal organization.
In addition, the drug trafficker pointed out that García Luna also gave them confidential information about the investigations and operations that were carried out to combat drug trafficking in Mexico at that time. Likewise, “El Grande” assured that these bribes were paid by Arturo Beltran Leyva.
It should be remembered that García Luna was in charge of the war against drug trafficking, declared in the country during the six-year Felipe Calderon. In fact, he was the right arm of the now former president.
