García Luna, who this Wednesday was sentenced to 38 years in prison in the United States and paid a fine of two million dollars, was charged for his participation in the operation called “Fast and Furious,” Rodríguez said.
He recalled that through this operation, more than two guns with implanted chips were illegally introduced into the country, “it was supposed to track their use, but that never happened.”
These weapons, he said, along with ammunition, cartridges, explosives and materials used exclusively by the Army, Navy and Air Force, gave rise to a spiral of violence in the country.
The former official also faces another arrest warrant in Mexico for abuse of power and authority, as well as criminal association in the federal prison privatization case, which caused patrimonial harm to the country, the Interior chief said.
