“Mexican drug cartels, once regarded mainly as couriers for South American cocaine producers, have spread their powerful tentacles deep into this Andean nation, sowing violence and nourishing the re-emergence of Shining Path guerrillas, authorities say.

Peruvian authorities suspect a Mexican cartel in the killing of a federal judge in July that shocked this nation. The allegations underscore the presence of Mexican cartels in the multibillion-dollar shadow economy in Peru, the worlds second-largest producer of cocaine after neighboring Colombia.”
