Drug Cartels: Critical Trial and New Novel.
After pleading not guilty to drug-trafficking charges and as he is scheduled a new bail hearing, the former point man of Mexican President Calderon negotiates an agreement to serve as a cooperating witness. A top Mexican investigative journalist comments on this trial. He also comments on his novel “Tu Cabello es la Frontera,” a real-life story unfolding in Ciudad Juárez, a city ravaged by narco violence and corruption. The novel features young, attractive and prosperous Carolina, and Vicente, a journalist who makes shocking revelations while covering the “war on drugs,” and how they end up crossing paths.
Guest: Jesús Esquivel, News Correspondent, Proceso Magazine, Author of “Tu Cabello es la Frontera,” Washington, DC.
