NEW YORK (Reuters) -Genaro Garcia Luna, who for several years led Mexico's fight against the country's violent drug trade, was sentenced on Wednesday to more than 38 years in U.S. prison for accepting bribes from the cartels he was supposed to fight.
U.S. District Judge Brian Cogan announced the sentence at a hearing in Brooklyn federal court.
