The former secretary of public security in Mexico was indicted by federal prosecutors in a New York City court on Tuesday on charges he accepted millions of dollars in bribes from a drug cartel, the U.S. Department of Justice said.
Genaro García Luna, who served under the administration of former President Felipe Calderón from 2006 to 2012, is accused of allowing the Sinaloa cartel of “El Chapo” Guzman to operate with impunity in Mexico in exchange for millions of dollars.
