Organized Crime: The Los Salazar Cartel (8/24/24)

The Epstein Chronicles

The Los Salazar Cartel is a prominent criminal organization based in Sonora, Mexico, and operates as a key faction within the Sinaloa Cartel. Founded by Adán Salazar Zamorano, the cartel has strong historical ties to Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán and plays a crucial role in controlling drug trafficking routes along the U.S.-Mexico border. Their operations primarily involve smuggling drugs such as marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, and fentanyl. The cartel has earned a reputation for its violent enforcement methods, frequently clashing with rival groups like the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) as they fight to maintain dominance over their territories.
Despite facing pressure from Mexican law enforcement and internal leadership changes, the Los Salazar Cartel remains a powerful force in the region. They have managed to sustain their influence over key smuggling corridors and continue to be a significant player in the broader Sinaloa Cartel's operations. Their ongoing involvement in drug trafficking, human smuggling, and extortion contributes to the persistent violence in Sonora, as they work to defend their territory against both rival cartels and government forces.
