Mexico Condemns Court's Decision to Unfreeze Assets of García Luna's Wife

Mexico City, May 23, 2025 – A significant contrast in legal proceedings has sparked controversy in Mexico. Linda Cristina Pereyra, wife of former Mexican security chief Genaro García Luna, recently received a multi-million dollar sentence in a US court. However, a Mexican court has overturned asset freezes against her, a decision the Mexican government strongly criticized. A government official stated, "It's unacceptable that while the US holds her accountable, a Mexican court protects her assets." This case highlights differences between the judicial systems of the two countries and has ignited public debate about corruption and accountability. The government's strong reaction suggests a commitment to transparency and justice, despite the judicial setbacks. The ongoing legal battle holds significant implications for Mexico's fight against corruption and international cooperation in legal matters.
