War millionaires
The unpublished dossier on García Luna and his associates
Foreword by Carmen Aristegui, Mexico: Grijalbo, 2021.
In December 2006, Felipe Calderón declared the "war on drugs": an era of blood and fire that has left hundreds of thousands dead... and hundreds of millions of dollars for a few. In this investigation - carried out over eight years, in four countries and with more than 17,000 documents - journalist Peniley Ramírez lays bare those who have made their money from this industry: politicians, suppliers, brokers, spies, security companies, advisors, police commanders, military chiefs and arms and smoke merchants. Genaro García Luna is just one of them, almost the only one who has fallen from grace.
This book demonstrates that his life and work exemplify an entire system, which persists to this day, in which in order to make millions it is not necessary to win the "war".
19 buildings as 19 wounds
Why the quake hit us so hard
Coordinated by Alejandro Sánchez, Mexico: Grijalbo, 2018.
A year after the disaster, this book investigates what went wrong in 19 of the buildings most damaged by the quake. Why were so many people killed 32 years after the 1985 earthquake? The book thus paints a picture of the problems that caused Mexico to crack ... and warns: if they are not solved, a similar tragedywill happen again.
