Almost two months since being sentenced to more than 38 years behind bars in an U.S. federal prison, former secretary of public safety Genaro García Luna was transferred to a new location as he awaits his final destination where he will spend the majority of his almost four-decade sentence.
The former high-ranking official was convicted early last year of taking millions of dollars in bribes to protect the violent Sinaloa Cartel and in October of this year, 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, making Garcia Luna into the highest-ranking Mexican official to ever face justice in a U.S. court.
