El 15 de octubre de 2020, el arresto del general Salvador Cienfuegos Zepeda en el aeropuerto de Los ngeles, California, sacudi las estructuras del poder militar en Mxico. El Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos lo acusaba de usar su rango para ofrecer proteccin al Crtel de Sinaloa, as como de recibir sobornos millonarios y estar coludido con dicha organizacin criminal para el trasiego de drogas. La denominada "Operacin Padrino" era la investigacin internacional ms slida y contundente sobre un militar mexicano relacionado directamente con el narcotrfico. Pese a esto, nadie en el gobierno de Mxico supo de lo que las autoridades estadounidenses tenan entre manos hasta la detencin del general. J. Jess Esquivel --corresponsal en Washington, D. C. de la revista Proceso-- fue el primer reportero en tener pistas sobre esta operacin meses antes del arresto, cuando un fiscal federal de distrito --a quien conoci durante el juicio de Joaqun El Chapo Guzmn en Nueva York-- le dio el pitazo. En este libro relata aquel encuentro y todo lo que pudo recabar sobre la operacin, desde los antecedentes, que datan de 2015, hasta la reaccin del gobierno mexicano a la detencin, as como las consecuencias en la relacin con Estados Unidos luego de que Mxico hubiera optado por la liberacin de Cienfuegos. A sus rdenes, mi general traza una lnea para entender todas las concesiones que han existido para el ejrcito durante el gobierno de Lpez Obrador y demuestra la fuerza perdurable de esta institucin en Mxico. 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. Jess 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 Joaqun "Chapo" Guzmn'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 Lpez Obrador's administration, proving the enduring strength this institution has in Mexico.
