The 50 Most Influential Mexican Narcos
Power, Succession, and the Making of the Modern Cartel
Cartel history is not only written through violence. It is written through succession, betrayal, family names, prison cells, backroom alliances, and the men and women who understood that power in Mexico’s underworld was never permanent. It had to be seized, defended, inherited, or taken by force.
This project examines the figures who shaped Mexico’s criminal underworld and helped build the power structures behind the modern cartel era.
