The Internationalization of Mexican Druglords

“With the ongoing demand for drugs in the United States and many other nations, Mexican druglords have been internationalizing their cartel operations and influence at breakneck speed according to mostly Spanish language news reports. This as they and their cohorts move the illicit products from point to point en route to destination countries and users.

A February 21 piece in the Mexico City daily El Universal began, “Information from the Colombian and U.S. governments indicates that Colombian narcotics organizations have ceded more and more of the transportation and distribution of drugs to Mexican organizations in order to evade authorities of the aforementioned countries.” This according to Jorge Barón, who heads Colombia’s National Antinarcotics Police.”
