Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has called for former Secretary of Public Security Genaro García Luna to provide evidence supporting his allegations of the president's ties to drug trafficking. García Luna, who was convicted on drug trafficking charges in the United States last year, claimed in a jailhouse letter that López Obrador had connections with a faction of the Sinaloa cartel.
López Obrador dismissed the accusations and demanded García Luna to share any proof he claims to have, including videos, calls, and audios. The president suggested involving the DEA to verify the allegations made by García Luna, who was found guilty of accepting bribes from drug cartels during his tenure in security positions under former presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón.
