[Translator’s note: this story is relevant because one of the individuals involved, Genaro Garcia Luna, was President Calderon’s head of national security and led the Calderon administration’s war on drugs. Mondragon y Kalb, the other individual mentioned in the article, has taken over Luna Garcia’s duties in the Pena Nieto government under Osorio Chong, current Secretary of the Interior. The former SSP ministry that Garcia Luna led has been merged with the Department of Interior (SEGOB: Secretaria de Gobernacion). In effect, these individuals are or were the top law enforcement officials in their respective administrations. The “Plan Merida” provides U.S. federal funds to Mexico for use in the war against drugs.
One further note: under U.S federal procurement statutes, a person who reports fraud in a contract paid with federal funds– the Plan Merida funds, in this case– is entitled to a percentage of the funds recovered by the federal government. Jose Luis Moya will probably get paid a substantial amount for reporting the fraudulent overpayment, money laundering and bribes in the purchase/sale of patrol vehicles and related equipment in Mexico. Good incentive. –un vato] Read Article
