El Mencho was the last of the old guard—the final mass-trafficking titan standing alongside El Chapo and El Mayo—now fallen, marking the end of an era in Mexican organized crime. The era, typified by fame and big names splashed across books, TV shows, and international arrest warrants, began around 1990, the time in which El Chapo rose to prominence.
As someone who isn’t that well-versed in Mexico’s politics, how does the country handle something like this?
It doesn’t, which is why they never really handled it themselves. I will never understand loyalty like this.
