CNN: 'El Chapo' Guzman associate claims kingpin paid $100M bribe to former Mexican President
(CNN)A former close personal aide to Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman testified Tuesday that the drug kingpin once paid a $100 million bribe to former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto.
The stunning testimony came from Alex Cifuentes, a Colombian trafficker who once served as Guzman's secretary and close personal aide.
After three days on the stand in the Brooklyn federal courtroom, the bombshell revelation was only brought up in court by defense attorney Jeffrey Lichtman, not prosecutors.
Peña Nieto's former chief of staff, Francisco Guzman, denied the allegation Tuesday evening.
"The statements of the Colombian drug trafficker in New York are false, defamatory and absurd. The government @EPN was the one who located, arrested and extradited Joaquín Guzmán Loera. Since the beginning of the administration, it was a priority objective of the security cabinet," Francisco Guzman said in a tweet.

And a person also testifying, a member of the drug gang, noted that drugs do not come through via walls or desserts etc but through the legal points of entries, using trucks and cars and people to sneak them in, or employing ship and planes...in sum: the Trump wall has nothing to do with drugs no matter what stories he makes up
I believe Chapo. Shows what the USA is dealing with in Mexico. It is a narco state using the trappings of the state to send opiates into the USA...a version of making war on a civilian population(USA).
all that bad stuff coming here. And no one wants it.
Enter Narcos Nancy...
