A US jury has convicted Mexico's former security minister Genaro Garcia Luna of drug trafficking. The verdict comes after a four-week trial and three days of jury deliberation. Prosecutors claimed that theĀ former Mexican head had accepted millions of dollars stuffed in briefcases by Mexico's biggest crime group, the Sinaloa drug cartel.
The US Department of Justice said that Luna could face life in prison or will serve the mandatory minimum jail term of 20 years, BBC reported.
