Episode 8: One Bad Bunny

USA v. García Luna

10-02-2023 • 19 mins

In 2007, more than 23 tons of cocaine belonging to the Sinaloa cartel were found in the Mexican port of Manzanillo. Mexico and the U.S. celebrated it as the biggest drug bust in Mexican history to date. Fifteen years later, Genaro García Luna is accused of helping the cartel avoid a $50 million “fine” in connection to that bust. Now, Peniley and Maria break down how the U.S. and García Luna worked together to make it happen. And they couldn’t have done it without Harold ‘El Conejo’ Poveda, the man who cried on the witness stand and made the international drug trade go round.
