The Narco News Bulletin Mapping drug war related homicides in 2010 There have been some very good visualizations of the Wikileaks data so I decided to create one of the drug war in Mexico The above map was made using data collected by Walter McKay, mainly from El Universal and El Diario reports. The data is stored as a Google Map and is already structured to include the number of deaths. That saved me a lot of work! Since the map contains the original newspaper story as metadata I performed a simple grep to determine if those involved in the aggressions were only civilians (both innocents and cartel gunmen) or whether some of those involved —though not necessarily killed— belonged to government forces. However, there are some caveats to keep in mind: I surely introduced some errors when categorizing the victims with a simple grep.As Walter McKay explains in this blog post killings have become so routine that it is no longer possible to report them all.

George Jung - Wikipedia Biography[edit] Early life[edit] In 1967, after meeting with a childhood friend, Jung realized the enormous profit potential represented by smuggling the cannabis he bought in California back to New England.[3] Jung initially had his stewardess girlfriend transport the drugs in her suitcases on flights.[3] In search of even greater profits, he expanded his operation to flying the drugs in from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico,[3] using airplanes stolen from private airports on Cape Cod[4] and professional pilots.[5] At the height of this enterprise, Jung and his associates were reportedly making $250,000 a month (equivalent to over $1.5 million in 2016 dollars, adjusting for inflation).[3] This ended in 1974, when Jung was arrested in Chicago for smuggling 660 pounds (300 kg) of marijuana. He had been staying at the Playboy Club, where he was to meet a connection who would pick up the marijuana. Work with Medellín Cartel[edit] Though only the middle man, Jung made millions off the operation.

Mexico's Drug War Border Reporter – News That Crossed The Line » News and tales from the U.S.-Mexico border, covering immigration, politics, organized crime, Homeland Security, corruption and drug trafficking. Recent developments in the drug war The Mexican government recently released data on all crime statistics from January 1997 to October 2010, as reported by the various police forces operating in Mexico. This information provides an unprecedented look at what has happened since the drug war began and allows for a frank assessment of the deterioration of security in Mexico. For some states the data is only available up to August, but for most it is available up to October. The first thing to do is visualize the data to see if there are any mistakes. The state of Chiapas reported 0 homicides during the month of January 2010, but in previous versions of the reports there were 96 homicides. Special note about the population of Mexico: Preliminary data from the 2010 Census indicate that the population estimates made by the CONAPO (which I’m using) were off by about 4 million people, that’s a pretty big mistake. With all that said let’s look at the state level data: All States Affected by the Drug War Chihuahua Zetas vs Gulf Cartel

Mexican Drug War - Wikipedia Although Mexican drug cartels, or drug trafficking organizations, have existed for several decades, their influence has increased[91][92] since the demise of the Colombian Cali and Medellín cartels in the 1990s. Mexican drug cartels now dominate the wholesale illicit drug market and in 2007 controlled 90% of the cocaine entering the United States.[93][94] Arrests of key cartel leaders, particularly in the Tijuana and Gulf cartels, has led to increasing drug violence as cartels fight for control of the trafficking routes into the United States.[95][96][97] Analysts estimate that wholesale earnings from illicit drug sales range from $13.6 to $49.4 billion annually.[93][98][99] By the end of Felipe Calderón's administration (December 1, 2006 – November 30, 2012), the official death toll of the Mexican Drug War was at least 60,000.[100] Estimates set the death toll above 120,000 killed by 2013, not including 27,000 missing.[101][102] Background[edit] PAN party Presidents[edit] Sources[edit]

Seguridad Pública en México the narcosphere Gulf Cartel - Wikipedia The Gulf Cartel (Spanish: Cártel del Golfo, Golfos, or CDG)[3][4] is a criminal syndicate and drug trafficking organization in Mexico,[5] and perhaps one of the oldest organized crime groups in the country.[6] It is currently based in Matamoros, Tamaulipas, directly across the border from Brownsville, Texas. Their network is international, and are believed to have dealings with crime groups in Europe, West Africa, Asia, Central America, South America, and the United States.[7][8] Besides drug trafficking, the Gulf Cartel operates through protection rackets, assassinations, extortions, kidnappings, and other criminal activities.[9] The members of the Gulf Cartel are known for intimidating the population and for being particularly violent.[10] As of December 2016 Los Zetas Group (Groupo Bravo & Zetas Vieja Escuela (Old School Zetas) made an Alliance with the Gulf cartel to fight against Cartel Del Noroeste (Cartel of the Northeast).

Juárez Cartel - Wikipedia The Juárez Cartel was the dominant player in the center of the country, controlling a large percentage of the cocaine traffic from Mexico into the United States. The death of Amado Carrillo Fuentes in 1997 was the beginning of the decline of the Juárez cartel, as Carrillo relied on ties to Mexico's top-ranking drug interdiction officer, division general Jesús Gutiérrez Rebollo.[6][7] History[edit] The cartel was founded around the 1970s. When the leader Pablo Acosta Villarreal was killed in April 1987 during a cross-border raid by Mexican Federal Police helicopters in the Rio Grande village of Santa Elena, Chihuahua,[9] Rafael Aguilar Guajardo took his place as cartel leader. The cartel leadership was handed down from Aguilar Guajardo to Amado Carrillo Fuentes in 1993 under the tutelage of his uncle, Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo. In 2001, after Joaquín Guzmán Loera 'El Chapo' escaped from prison, many Juárez Cartel members defected to Guzmán Loera's Sinaloa Cartel. Current alliances[edit]
