Here you have to know about Sinaloa Cartel of Mexico.
In the late 1980s, Sinaloa Cartel, founded by Miguel Angel Felix Galardo in the late 1980s, was led by L Chapoo Guzman, who exited the Mexican jails twice, until the 2016 was arrested by Mexican authorities in Sinaloa. It is one of the best established and oldest drug trafficking organizations in Mexico.
Sinaloa Cartel is named after Northwestern Mexico state Sinaloa, where the cartel was originally established. For a long time, it has provided a large part of Phantenile, Cocaine, heroin, Methefetamine, and Marijuana that is sold on American roads.
The organization handles smuggling routes in Arizona and California and has distribution centers in many American cities. Additionally, the gang is accused of operating the Phantenile factories in Mexico.
According to CRS research, Cartel allegedly controlled between 40 and 60 percent of Mexico’s drug trade in the early 2010s and made $ 3 billion per year. An American prosecution, which was made public last year, claimed that the gang used bitcoins of over $ 869,000 between August 2022 and February 2023.
Cartel has been held responsible for continuous violence in Mexico and for playing an important role in drug war, which lasted for years, killing tens of thousand people.
One of the leading players consists of 76 -year -old Zambada, who is considered the last of the old school Mexican drug capos. He has been a lifelong partner of Gujman and accused of running a drug transportation operation, hired to protect the warehouses where drugs were stored, and hit the hitman and kill rivals working to kidnap and kill rivals, who threatened the cartel.
