All news on the topic: Cartel

The cartel member who once ran distribution for one of Pablo Escobar’s cocaine centres has recently been released from prison after serving just some of his 30 year sentence

Among the many horrifying videos posted online amid Mexico’s drug cartel violence, few have been as profoundly shocking as that of a 14-year-old boy kidnapped in late October along with about a dozen family members in the country’s south.

Cellphone chats have become death sentences in the continuing, bloody factional war inside Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel.

Some 53 people have been killed and 51 others are missing in Mexico’s western Sinaloa state since rival factions of the Sinaloa Cartel began clashing on Sept 9, local authorities said on Friday, with gruesome violence showing no signs of abating.

The murders of about a dozen people in the northern Mexico state of Sinaloa appear to be linked to cartel infighting, something authorities had feared would follow the July 25 detention of two top cartel leaders.
