AND
On May 8, 2008, police chief Édgar Eusebio Millán Gómez, who worked as Regional Security Chief of the Federal Police (PF), was injured with nine bullets at his parents’ home, in the Guerrero neighborhood of the capital city. , and died shortly after aboard an ambulance. He was one of the supercops from the group of Genaro García Luna, whom he had accompanied since the days of the Federal Investigation Agency, founded in 2001 by Vicente Fox and placed in the hands of the now accused in New York. The material murderer was arrested at the scene of the crime by Millán’s bodyguards and five others involved were subsequently arrested; one of them, active PF agent (https://is.gd/lWwFLN). According to the subsequent investigation, the details of the route, the estimated time of arrival and the location of the house had been communicated by Millán to the main commanders of the Ministry of Public Security
and they were only known to a small group of officials
(https://is.gd/vbcTI7). The next day, Felipe Calderón, the Secretaries of Defense and the Navy, the then head of the Interior, Juan Camilo Mouriño, and García Luna himself formed a guard of honor around the coffin of the dead policeman.
It was mentioned that hours before his murder, Millán had led the capture of nine alleged hitmen of the Beltrán Leyva cartel (which was already in a lawsuit against El Chapo Guzmán) in Xoxocotla, Morelos (https://is.gd/HZFoup), but later it was learned that the policeman who participated in the organization of the crime in the Guerrero neighborhood worked for the Pacífico cartel, to which García Luna offered protection in exchange for millions of dollars, according to the testimonies of the New York trial. .
The prosecutor’s office acting in that process, when presenting its conclusions, drew the organization chart of what would be the García Luna cartel, in which the main leaders of the PF appear, including, by the way, Millán himself, of whom suspicions had been expressed. from long ago (https://is.gd/NaC2L7) and who belonged to an elite police group trained by the US DEA and FBI within the framework of the Sensitive Investigative Units (SIU) program, https://is.gd/zBTol0). Washington watched with special interest the trajectory of his disciples. For example, the then US ambassador, Tony Garza, issued a lengthy and emotional statement about the murder of Millán, an unusual gesture that other police officers who had been killed did not usually deserve (https://is.gd/O0WEjS). The truth is that 12 members of the SIU were assassinated during Calderón’s six-year term, and it is logical to assume that the Washington agencies carried out their own investigations in this regard.
But the New York trial was not designed to clarify whether García Luna ordered the assassination of some of his subordinates, nor to find the discreet threads that linked Calderón’s power to the criminal activities of the former Secretary of Security, much less to shed light. about the involvement of entire segments of Washington with Mexican criminal organizations. Perhaps for this reason it was expressly forbidden during the trial to mention the abundant tributes that high-ranking officials from the neighboring country paid to the now defendant or the ease with which he obtained a network of properties in Florida. In the sessions, the abject and unconditional servility of García Luna towards Washington has not come to light either, an attitude that led him to offer Michael Chertoff, then in charge of Internal Security in the neighboring country, free access to our intelligence information on public safety
(https://is.gd/aj5iEA). It has been, therefore, a strictly limited trial and, in various ways, muzzled.
It does not stop causing a smile that Anne Milgram, in charge of the DEA, has told García Luna in the middle of the process that Mexico has to do more
before the transfer of drugs and that she criticized the country for not sharing more information with Washington, not extraditing suspected or convicted drug traffickers in the quantities that she would like and destroying enough fentanyl production laboratories. It gives the impression that deep down, in the DEA and other US agencies related to the fight against drugs
there is a certain nostalgia for the golden ages in which García Luna collaborated fully with them and the calderonato allowed the DEA itself to launder money from He shorty (https://is.gd/VsLPC6) or that other government offices in the neighboring country sent tons of assault rifles to the Pacific cartel (https://is.gd/fjO8wq).
But not. We do not know when or why García Luna fell from the grace of the United States; The only thing that is clear is that Washington intends to screw up his life forever and that his trial was strictly limited to the fulfillment of that purpose.
