Book Synopsis



«En Nueva York, en la Corte del Distrito Este, hay un caso muy delicado que tiene que ver con tu país. SE TRATA DE UN GENERAL DE LAS FUERZAS ARMADAS METIDO CON EL NARCOTRÁFICO. Hablo de un general muy importante. La DEA lo ha investigado y tiene pruebas en su contra... CREO QUE LE DICEN EL PADRINO

El 15 de octubre de 2020, el arresto del general Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda en el aeropuerto de Los Ángeles, California, sacudió las estructuras del poder militar en México. El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos lo acusaba de usar su rango para ofrecer protección al Cártel de Sinaloa, así como de recibir sobornos millonarios y estar coludido con dicha organización criminal para el trasiego de drogas. La denominada "Operación Padrino" era la investigación internacional más sólida y contundente sobre un militar mexicano relacionado directamente con el narcotráfico. Pese a esto, nadie en el gobierno de México supo de lo que las autoridades estadounidenses tenían entre manos hasta la detención del general.

J. Jesús Esquivel --corresponsal en Washington, D. C. de la revista Proceso-- fue el primer reportero en tener pistas sobre esta operación meses antes del arresto, cuando un fiscal federal de distrito --a quien conoció durante el juicio de Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán en Nueva York-- le dio el pitazo. En este libro relata aquel encuentro y todo lo que pudo recabar sobre la operación, desde los antecedentes, que datan de 2015, hasta la reacción del gobierno mexicano a la detención, así como las consecuencias en la relación con Estados Unidos luego de que México hubiera optado por la liberación de Cienfuegos.

A sus órdenes, mi general traza una línea para entender todas las concesiones que han existido para el ejército durante el gobierno de López Obrador y demuestra la fuerza perdurable de esta institución en México.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"In New York, at the Court of the Eastern District, there is a very delicate case that concerns your country. IT IS ABOUT AN ARMED FORCES GENERAL MIXED UP WITH DRUG TRAFFICKERS. I am talking about a high-ranking General. The DEA has been investigating him and has evidence against him... I BELIEVE HE IS CALLED THE GODFATHER."

On October 15, 2020, the arrest of General Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda at the Los Angeles airport shook the military fabric in Mexico. The United States Department of Justice accused him of using his rank to protect the Sinaloa Cartel, as well as receiving millions in bribes, and conspiring with said criminal organization to smuggle drugs. The so called "Operation Godfather" was the most solid and compelling international investigation about a Mexican military man directly linked to the drug trade. Regardless, nobody in the Mexican government knew what the American authorities had in mind until the General was apprehended.

J. Jesús Esquivel--Washington, DC correspondent for Proceso--was the first reporter to have any clues on this operation months before the arrest, when a Federal District Attorney, whom he had met during Joaquín "Chapo" Guzmán's trial in New York, tipped him off. In this book he recounts that meeting and shares every clue he was able to collect about the operation, from background information dating back to 2015, to the Mexican government's reaction to the arrest, as well as the consequences on the relationship between Mexico and the United States after Mexico decided to free Cienfuegos.

On Your Command, General draws a line around all the concessions the army has had during López Obrador's administration, proving the enduring strength this institution has in Mexico.
