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.Want to support our independent journalism?
