Deadly Intentions - The Modern Cartels - Audio - EP09

Bubba and Pete continue their deep dive into the rise of Mexico’s modern cartel system, tracing what happened after the old Guadalajara structure fractured and independent networks began competing for territory, routes and influence. The episode follows the evolution of Sinaloa, Tijuana, Juárez, the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas, including the air bridge that helped keep Sinaloa alive, tunnels beneath the border, large-scale smuggling operations, U.S. distribution hubs and the alliances that reshaped the drug trade. They also examine how the system became increasingly fragmented, with hundreds of organizations operating across Mexico, setting the stage for the emergence of Jalisco New Generation.
