Mexico's former public security chief, Genaro Garcia Luna, is set to be sentenced in a US federal court for allegedly taking millions of dollars in bribes from the Sinaloa drug cartel. The conviction stems from his time as Mexico's top security official from 2006-2012, when he reportedly allowed the cartel to smuggle massive quantities of drugs into the US. Prosecutors are seeking a life sentence, while Garcia Luna's lawyers argue that the charges were based on lies from criminal sources.
