About this episode

The episode covers the trial of Genaro García Luna, featuring testimony from Jesus ‘El Rey’ Zambada about bribery and secret DEA tapes.

The trial against Genaro García Luna is reaching its end—which means Peniley is exhausted and Maria has to pull her out of bed just to make it to court! This week, Jesus ‘El Rey’ Zambada, the Sinaloa cartel’s former top boss, testified that he personally delivered bribes to García Luna. In defense of her husband, García Luna’s wife took the stand. Then, Peniley does some-–more—digging and gets a source, a former senior security official, who speaks for the first time on the record about alleged secret tapes he heard at a DEA facility of Garcia Luna. Now, the jury is out — literally. Want to support our independent journalism?
