WGT EP 3 The Curious Release of Cienfuegos
The release of a powerful general undermines the credibility of both U.S. and Mexico’s judicial systems
Mexican Gen. Salvador Cienfuegos on drug-related charges
Yesterday, prosecutors in Brooklyn requested that Judge Carol Amon dismiss the prosecution of Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda, Mexico’s former Secretary of Defense indicted in August 2019 for narcotics trafficking and money laundering and arrested, while on a trip to Los Angeles, this October.
Salvador Cienfuegos The General’s Release That Has Everyone Puzzled
His mafia-don pseudonym reflected his alleged standing at the top of a pyramid, the prosecutors argued, which incorporated the armed forces, the Mexican government and the “extremely violent” H-2 drug cartel.
Division General Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda (Mexico City, 14 June 1948) is a retired Mexican Army officer. He served as the Secretary of National Defense in the government of President Enrique Peña Nieto from 2012 to 2018..
