Questioned about the trial of the former strongman of then-President Felipe Calderón (2006-2012) by a New York court that generates doubts about its impartiality, López Obrador responded that it is a matter of transparency and information should not be hidden.

The president called on the directors of the Chamber of Deputies to know about the files on García Luna and make a formal request to reveal them.

It would be good to know them because there are many doubts about this case. We are talking about the mafia with the power that dominated Mexico for a long time, both organized crime and coordinated white-collar crime.

The president stated that Tuesday’s hearing in New York is a clear demonstration of the intentions that move them, as the position of a defense lawyer who wanted to involve him.

He described that lawyer as false, slanderous, and crooked.

It is a part of the same mafia of García Luna, his bosses, and the white-collar political and financial crimes that prevailed in the country.
