Genaro García Luna, the disgraced ex-Mexican Security Chief, will be sentenced on Wednesday, more than a year after a Brooklyn federal court jury found him guilty of conspiring with the Sinaloa Cartel, participating in a criminal enterprise, and making false statements to U.S. authorities. He faces a possible life sentence or a minimum of 20 years in prison.
García Luna's legal team has argued that a 20-year sentence would be sufficient, citing the toll taken on his personal life and reputation. They have submitted 19 letters from family, friends, and former colleagues in support of a reduced sentence.
