Genaro García Luna’s trial is over, but not the investigative work I'm doing with @Maria_Hinojosa.
In this episode, we learn that a U.S. senator has sent this letter, requesting the DEA and the FBI information on García Luna, including the names of the U.S. officials who vetted him.
We listen to some of our series' protagonists react to the guilty verdict, and I dig into what’s next for García Luna.
Finally, we reflect on why the war on drugs was always unwinnable, and we get into some chisme, going behind the scenes of this series.

Welcome to episode 11 of our podcast #USAvGarciaLuna. Listen and subscribe here. Enjoy!

El juicio de Genaro García Luna terminó, pero no la investigación que estoy haciendo con @Maria_Hinojosa.
En este episodio, nos enteramos de que un senador estadounidense ha enviado esta carta, solicitando a la DEA y el FBI información sobre García Luna, incluyendo los nombres de los oficiales estadounidenses que examinaron y dieron su visto bueno a García Luna.
Escuchamos las reacciones al veredicto de algunos de los protagonistas de esta historia, y cuento qué sigue para García Luna.

We are starting week 4 of the #USAvGarciaLuna trial. Last week, we learned about shipments of cocaine that went to Mexico from Colombia and secret meetings that, allegedly, Garcia Luna had with narcos. What do you expect for this week?
Estamos empezando la cuarta semana del juicio #usavgarcialuna. La semana pasada, escuchamos sobre cargamentos de cocaína que fueron de México a Colombia y encuentros secretos que, supuestamente, García Luna tuvo con los narcos. ¿Qué esperan ustedes para esta semana?
Today's witness is a former Mexican police officer. He said he saw #GarciaLuna meeting with Arturo Beltran Leyva (trafficker) and La Barbie (hitman). He added that Garcia Luna's security team reported this incident. Did the U.S. know, and when? More to come after the break...
