The flight of El Chapo appeases frictions in the dome, regrouped during his time in prison around their children and old narcos
In Sinaloa, the land that gave birth to the powerful Mexican cartel, tell a story that happened a few months ago. Ivan Archivaldo, one of the sons of Joaquin El Chapo Guzman, took the road to Tacuichamona accompanied by his henchmen. He was headed to a town south of Culiacan, the state capital, to settle accounts with one of their traffickers. Halfway, when they were about to enter El Salado, he rang the radio.
"Devuélvanse" he said. The voice was a high command of Ismael Zambada, El Mayo, one of the leaders of the organization, originally from the ranch. May drew an invisible line in its territory that had to be respected by the children of his partner.
When El Chapo reached the Altiplano prison in February 2014, he gave a Solomonic order through their lawyers. His participation in the cartel should be divided equally among his older sons, Ivan Archivaldo and Jesus Alfredo, and his right hand, Damaso Lopez Nunez, called The licensed. The latter joined the criminal organization after being director of internal security of the maximum security prison of Jalisco. He resigned in late 2000, a month before El Chapo elope in January 2001 in a laundry cart, according to the official version.
The cast did not like their offspring that were born in the eighties, have a different view of the business. During the 16 months El Chapo was in the Altiplano, the dome of the criminal organization suffered frictions caused by the meeting of two generations with different criminal minds. Historical leaderships of El Mayo Zambada, 67, and Juan Jose Esparragoza Blue, 66 which is said died of a heart attack in 2014, but has not been confirmed officially , they had to live with narcojuniors. Old, accustomed to low profile, have had their misunderstandings with young people, who prefer carousing and opulence.
"Ivan Archivaldo took the drug dealing Culiacan, which has always been of El Mayo" says Javier Valdez, a journalist of the weekly Rio Doce. Others agree with this analysis. "I wanted everything. Began charging more traffickers and caused tensions and resentments between the soldiers and the people below , "says reporter Martin Duran.
Some believe that the adjustment in the direction unleashed a clean at the base of the vast criminal army. That would explain the rise in homicides in Sinaloa. April and May have been the most violent months in a year (147 and 176 homicides, respectively). "Heads midlevel El Mayo have been killed by people of El Chapo and nothing has happened. In the end, the bosses always cauterized and reconciled. It is surprising , "says Valdez.
business millionaire
These bloody incidents little affect business structure, valued at 3,000 million dollars. "The organization is a relic of drug trafficking, broad geographic coverage , " says Javier Oliva, national security analyst at the National University of Mexico. In an age where criminals from other groups controlling dispute cities, the Sinaloa cartel is the only criminal network that keeps racking routes of narcotics into the United States that emerged in the past under the Mexican government century.
Oliva explained that the organization has a great local support. "They are vicious with his enemies, but do not act against society , " he says. Unlike other cartels, not extort and kidnap, but focus on the illicit drug trade.
The escape of Joaquin Guzman means there will be adjustments to the top of the organization. In Sinaloa it makes clear that there is a return. " It never was , " says Valdez. His presence, disembodied or not, will end misunderstanding between the capos. However, El Chapo will have to follow the trail of Mayo Zambada low profile to avoid a third catch. Adds his partner five decades on the run. The authorities have not never stopped.
A large network for money laundering
The territorial control ensures the Sinaloa cartel monthly income of two tons of cocaine and ten of marijuana in more than a thousand US cities, according to the Department of Justice. The Treasury Department estimates that a quarter of all drugs consumed in the country came through the efforts of Sinaloa.
Proceeds from these sales are laundered through a network of more than 280 businesses in 10 countries. The group has tried to import drugs to Europe from Bolivia, Colombia and Panama.
In March 2007 , the largest seizure by the DEA, the Drug Enforcement Administration US exposed part of the operation of the cartel. Agents found in Panamanian waters Gatun ship, loaded with more than 19 tons of cocaine, a commercial value of 600 million dollars. The narcos had offered $ 18,000 to 15 fishermen originating from Mazatlan (Sinaloa) to sail to the port of Topolobampo, in the same State. The drug never went through the Panama Canal. It was carried by speedboats who left Colombia.
