DEA Map of Juarez Cartel operations (This is DEA Background Information - 2/97) Mexico's most powerful drug trafficker in recent years was Amado Carrillo-Fuentes who died in a Mexican hospital in July 1997 after undergoing extensive plastic surgery to change his appearance. In his final days Carrillo was being tracked intensively by Mexican and US authorities. Carrillo allegedly had ties to Mexico's former Commissioner of the INCD (National Institute to Combat Drugs), Gutierrez-Rebollo. His organized crime group, based in Juarez, is associated with the Rodriguez-Orejuela organization and the Ochoa brothers, from Medellin. Carrillo's organization is involved in heroin and marijuana trafficking and handles large cocaine shipments from Colombia. Their regional bases in Guadalajara, Hermosillo and Torreon serve as storage locations where later the drugs are moved closer to the border for eventual shipment into the United States. The scope of the Carrillo-Fuentes'network is staggering; he reportedly forwarded $20-30 million to Colombia for each major operation, and his illegal activities generated tens of millions per week. He was a pioneer in the use of large aircraft to transport cocaine from Colombia to Mexico and became known as 'Lord of the Skies.' Carrillo-Fuentes owned a fleet of aircraft and had major real estate holdings. Like his Colombian counterparts, Carrillo-Fuentes was sophisticated in the use of technology and counter surveillance methods. His network employed state of the art communications devices to conduct business. His organization had become so powerful he was even seeking to expand his markets into traditional Colombian strongholds on the east coast of the United States.

Mexican Cartels Boss of Bosses
Saturday, 08 March 2008 By Michael Webster Investigative Reporter New Mexican cartel boss Juan Jose Esparagossa Moreno also known as AKA El Azul & Blue. According to high level Mexican government officials who insist on anonymity say “he now controls the drug trade from Laredo Texas to San Diego California using Los Zetas as his enforcement arm.” According to newspaper reports warring factions of Mexican gangs, cartels, and drug dealers have been fighting and killing for control of the largest drug trafficking enterprise along the border of Mexico and the United States. Esparagossa Moreno has worked his way to the top of the Juárez Cartel organization along with several other men with close ties to cocaine producers in Colombia and Afghanistan, according to the Mexican Attorney General's office and the CIA. According to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Juárez Cartel is a powerful Mexican drug trafficking cartel based in Juárez, Mexico The cartel has most recently transformed itself into the Golden Triangle Alliance, or La Alianza Triángulo de Oro, because of its leaders in three Mexican border states: Chihuahua, Durango and Sinaloa. Until 2004 the organization was headed by Juan José Esparragoza Moreno, also known as El Azul. In late 2004 control of the cartel was assumed by Ricardo Garcia Urquiza until his arrest in Mexico City during November 2005.[1] At its height, the Juárez cartel was assumed to be responsible for some 50 percent of illegal drugs that pass through Mexico to the United States. It rose in the past decade to become one of the hemisphere's - if not the world's - most powerful crime organizations. Some US sources estimate the cartel's income reached as high as $200 million a week under former boss Amado Carrillo Fuentes, who mysteriously died in July 1997.[2] |
