The defense of Genaro García Luna, the former Mexican security chief sentenced to more than 38 years in prison in the U.S. for working with the Sinaloa cartel, has asked a federal appeals court for a hearing to present oral arguments in its appeal seeking to overturn his drug trafficking conviction.
According to a document sent to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals and obtained by Mexican newspaper Milenio, Cesar de Castro, García Luna's attorney, expressed his intention to present oral arguments and also proposed a series of dates for the hearing between May and August.
