Mexico’s President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador presented a medal to a cartel-connected Army general who spent time in a U.S. jail awaiting trial on drug charges. The general was ultimately turned over to Mexico, where he was released.
On Thursday morning, Lopez Obrador defended the controversial ceremony, claiming that Cienfuegos had been absolved of all criminal allegations and that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration had fabricated the case against him in revenge for Mexico not giving free rein to U.S. agents inside the country.
However, in 2021, in a very controversial move that came after much diplomatic wrangling, the U.S. Department of Justice dismissed the case against Cienfuegos so Mexico could prosecute him first. However, just hours after arriving in Mexico, authorities in Mexico released him. Soon after, the Mexican prosecutors dismissed all charges against him.
