Former Mexican Presidential Cabinet Member Convicted in US of Taking Bribes to Protect Drug Cartels

Genaro GarcĂ­a Luna, Mexico's former public security secretary, was convicted in a US federal court of taking massive bribes to protect drug cartels. He is the highest-ranking current or former Mexican official ever to be tried in the United States, and his conviction marks a major victory for the US Attorney's Office in its fight against drug trafficking and corruption. It also serves as a reminder of the need for strong anti-corruption measures to ensure public officials are held accountable.
