that Garcia Luna had taken millions in bribes hidden in suitcases to prevent security forces from intervening in the cartel’s operations. Whether others will corroborate the extent and reach of Garcia Luna’s corruption remains to be seen.
This could lead all the way to the top, to the man who chose to elevate and protect García Luna despite suspicions of misconduct: former president Calderón. “Why did Calderón stand by García Luna?” Ramírez asked. “Was it because he was merely stubborn? Because he wanted to trust him? Maybe he owed García Luna something or perhaps received money himself. That’s what we could find out.
For all its political sensitivity, however, the García Luna trial has the potential to provide a broader service to the Mexican public. It could bring Mexico closer to the resolution of a conflict that has lasted nearly two decades. Confirming the rottenness of the security structure that began the war on the cartels could spur a debate over the validity of a struggle that has cost the country hundreds of thousands of lives.
Hmmmmm, it's almost like Donald Trump was right about Mexico
