Mexico City, Jun 16 (Prensa Latina) Mexico has the possibility of recovering 650 million dollars stolen from the treasury by former Security Secretary Genaro García Luna invested in securities in Florida, United States, a senior official said today.

Pablo Gómez, director of the Financial Investigation Unit, appeared at President Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s morning press conference at the National Palace, to give extensive explanations of the judicial process finally accepted in the neighboring country of the North.

He said that Mexico resorted to the judicial process so that the State’s money could return and that way is a Florida court, where the lawsuit was filed, but the defenders of García Luna and the companies that made the contracts filed appeals for legal protection and argued that the Florida Court did not have the legal capacity to do so.

They were able to suspend the process for a while, but it has already been resolved against the appeal filed and the good thing is that they cannot file any more, the trial for the return of Mexico’s resources is definitive and cannot be postponed, and it is included as part of the corruption scheme that is being followed in the United States against García Luna where he was found guilty and is ready for sentencing.

The process for the recovery of the money is already underway, the matter of the defendants is also underway, and once the jury has been impaneled, the trial will be opened and the jury’s decision will be made, which seems to be positive for Mexico, he said.
