50 Tons of Methamphetamine Seized in Drug Lab Raid in Mexico

50 tons?! How much is a kilo sold in wholesale distribution in US?

Wow thats alot of meth

This happens often, the Gulf Cartel "commadantes" and higher bosses are known to do this. As well as the sicarios. The Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas are the most bravado cartels in Mexico.

You ever notice how they almost never capture Gulf Cartel bosses or commadantes.

The situation is very complicated even I can not know the degree it has changed or it is. A lot of it has to do with the Mexican government crackdown on the cartels with the help of the DEA targeting the bosses and kingpins. In short I think it's the lack of consolidation of the cartels in Mexico besides their strongholds. People have to remember that the cartels from now are not the same from the 90s or earlier. They have become fragmented in cities they don't control. The only cities they control 100% are the border towns and strongholds. I think Italy has avoided this bloodshed becaause the groups over there have a clear boundry of the territory of different criminal groups. In Mexico the cartels have expanded beyond their stronholds or border towns and because they didn't have enough time to "stronghold" themselves it has caused violence coupled with the DEA and Mexican government crackdown makes things worse and complicated.

A common enemy: U.S.-Mexican effort is the right step in drug war

According to the DEA the former agent and assassin 'El Mencho' (52) is now the most powerful drug lord in the world. The cartel set up dozens of drug routes in the US, Europe and Asia. Although the Sinaloa cartel is still active, under the leadership of El Chapo's former partner, 70-year-old Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, the organization is only a shadow of what it once was. In this way the largest part of his family is stuck and 'El Mayo' becomes increasingly isolated.
