Drug Cartel
Basic Information
Drug cartels are criminal organizations developed with the primary purpose of promoting and controlling drug trafficking operations. They range from loosely-managed agreements among various drug traffickers to formalized commercial enterprises.
Drug cartels operate in many countries throughout Latin America, including Mexico, Central America and Colombia, and in Afghanistan and South Asia. They are the cause of extreme gangster-like violence and thousands of murders, particularly in Mexico all along the U.S. border. Some cartels are even establishing themselves in U.S. cities like Phoenix, Houston, and Los Angeles.[1]
