Mexico's president said Wednesday he hopes that the former Mexican security chief convicted this week in the U.S. of bribe-taking will cooperate with prosecutors there and perhaps implicate former Mexican presidents.
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said he hopes Genaro Garcia Luna will make a deal with prosecutors to reduce his sentence, in exchange for testifying about López Obrador’s predecessors.
López Obrador said he hoped Garcia Luna would also provide information about his relationship with U.S. authorities, who he said must have known about his corruption.López Obrador welcomed the U.S. verdict on Garcia Luna, and depicted it as opportunity to root out corruption. The Mexican president has frequently sparred with the judiciary, because judges have often blocked his initiatives on constitutional grounds.
