US judge denies ex-Mexican official Genaro García Luna's request for a new trial in bribery and drug cartel protection case.
Former Mexican public safety official Genaro García Luna, convicted for bribery and drug cartel protection, was denied a new trial request by a US judge. García Luna attempted to bribe fellow inmates in a bid for a new trial, but the judge found the allegations believable. His conviction last year included taking millions in bribes to shield drug cartel members from arrest and allow safe passage for cocaine shipments.
