Mexico's once-powerful former public security minister Genaro Garcia Luna was found guilty of US drug trafficking charges by a jury in New York on Tuesday following a high-profile trial.

Garcia Luna, who was accused of receiving vast sums of money to allow the notorious Sinaloa cartel to smuggle tons of cocaine when he was the minister between 2006 and 2012, was convicted on all five counts.
