Guanajuato has turn out to be certainly one of Mexico’s most violent states as a result of a dispute between the Santa Rosa de Lima and Jalisco New Generation cartels, which battle for management of trafficking in medicine and stolen gasoline.
The Department of Justice considers the Jalisco cartel to be “one of the five most dangerous transnational criminal organizations in the world.” The cartel’s chief, Nemesio Oseguera, “El Mencho,” is among the many most sought by Mexican and U.S. authorities.
The head of the Drug Enforcement Administration advised CBS News final week that the Jalisco cartel is among the Mexican cartels which are behind the inflow of fentanyl in the U.S. that is killing tens of hundreds of Americans.
“Those cartels are acting with calculated, deliberate treachery to get fentanyl to the United States and to get people to buy it through fake pills, by hiding it in other drugs, any means that they can take in order to drive addiction and to make money,” DEA Administrator Anne Milgram advised “CBS Mornings.”
Since December 2006, when the federal government launched a controversial army anti-drug operation, Mexico has recorded greater than 340,000 murders, in line with official figures.
Authorities have blamed a lot of the killings on organized crime.
