Sinaloa Cartel: The International Drug Empire

Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel controls a vast share of the global drug trade—a business reportedly generating up to ten billion euros annually. Since the 2016 imprisonment of its iconic leader, El Chapo, the cartel has restructured and even strengthened. With nearly 100,000 armed members, its kingpins are prepared to confront powerful rivals—as well as the police and military—to maintain the cartel's status as an international drug empire. In a rare move, several of them have agreed to shed light on the organization from the inside.
