After the 38-year prison sentence handed down yesterday against former Mexican Secretary of Public Security Felipe Calderón, Genaro García Luna, the mayor of Ciudad Juárez, Cruz Pérez Cuéllar, stated that “it came out very cheap.”
Pérez Cuéllar made a publication on all his social networks in which he said: “For all the damage this man did, the results were very cheap…”, accompanied by a photo of the former security official with the legend “BREAKING MINUTE: García Luna sentenced to more than 38 years in prison in United States on five counts of drug trafficking.” Yesterday in the United States, Judge Brian M. Cogan sentenced García Luna to 38 years in prison on five charges related to drug trafficking, in addition to a fine of 2 million dollars for one of the charges, and after settling his plea. His sentence will be five years' probation. During Genaro García Luna's command, Ciudad Juárez experienced the “war on drug trafficking”, a stage in which it became the most violent city in the world.
