The Plazas of Organized Crime: A classification
Every day in various parts of the country there are armed clashes between groups of organized crime, which seek to control as many municipalities as possible. It is a rampant race among dozens of organizations, where the will never be a definitive “winner”. Even so, these criminal groups have incentives to try and expand their areas of influence and keep the plazas that are under their control.
Control
translates into income.
In
order to facilitate the understanding of the functions that the different
locations fulfill, the author has decided to group them into five categories
based on their characteristics:
1) Border points, these are the municipalities bordering the United States, Guatemala and Belize, which serve as a point of Mexico’s entry or exit of drugs and other illicit products.
2) Other points of entry/exit of illicit products would be the municipalities where main ports and airports are located. This includes municipalities where waterfront strips can accommodate smaller boats.
3) Production or resource extraction ones, including municipalities where marijuana, heroin, synthetic drugs are produced, as well as fuel, metals and minerals can be illegally extracted/mined.
4) Drug sales or illegal market operations. These are typically populated municipalities or tourist corridors where illegal products can be traded. This category also includes areas where important legal markets serve the organizations for money laundering.
5) Transit points for drugs or other illegal products, which are the regions that are on the main routes of drugs or illegal products into the United States.

Nunca se a sabido que el CJNG combata la frontera de Juarez. Si pasan droga por lo que se dice pero que ellos esten combatiendo no se a escuchado aunque dicen que tienen tregua con La Linea. A lo mejor y hasta pagan piso por crusar la droga a LA Linea???
ReplyDeleteNo compa eso de que tienen tregua con la linea es puro pedo. Los Zetas de Veracruz mandan refuerzos alos de la linea, y el CJNG esta peleando la plaza mazizo ahorita en Veracruz.
DeleteSo who is allied with la Linea? Is it the CDN or the old School Z???
DeleteCartel del noroeste
DeleteWHERE IS NAYARIT ?
DeleteCjng has way more plazas and ports than any other cartel, that's nuts.
ReplyDeleteThe gulf cartel controls amd has acces to more of the border than any cartel.
DeleteCDS does
DeleteGulf has no real power. It's a bunch of gangsters. With no real plugs. The zetas destroyed CDG a long time ago. By taking and exposing the bosses and plugs to drugs like meth, powder, and 1/2 of the horse connects. All they do is fight and move weed into The Valley
DeleteAnd the best corridors aswell, both matamoros and reynosa lead to the I-35 corridor.
DeleteThey control the border cities of Tamaulipas which we ALL know that they don't compare to the bigger Border plazas Juarez, Tijuana and Mexicali ... not even Nuevo Laredo comes close
Delete8:21 no mames pinchi jediondota, pinchis golfas can barely hold on to the gulf beach selling ice popsicles.
Delete@5:23 Both Reynosa and Matamoros have entrance to the I_35 corridor. New York, Chicago, Atlanta, etc,, they have access to way more important cities than Juarez does.
DeleteDe san antonio sale la merca para todos lados, puro CDG alv los del CDN
DeleteThe zetas destroyed the cdg? In what fantasy world is that? Your ignorance is crazy. Cdg still going strong.
DeleteThe gulf cartel has the best border space. Coke bud meth tar go up money drugs and tactical equipment go south.
DeleteReynosa y Matamoros are nowhere near top plazas. First they have a fraction of truck traffic that Nuevo Laredo, Juarez and almost every border going west has. Plus once your across your hundred of miles from first major distribution points, fraction of the traffic on highways in the valley, and lower traffic count at borders and past borders ofReynosa and Matamoros have you looking more suscpicious on the two lane roads up to i35, i10, etc etc.
Delete@1:38. Yea destroyed. Who's the gulfs leaders? Or leutenents ? Or what comandantes are left? Yea I'll wait. Gulf is a joke of its former self. They are broke ass gangsters fight each other for the shake. Lmao. They have people. Lots and lots of people. With no leader. And they are so tore up that no one leader will be able to bring them together. Gulf is down to multiple street sets. That's all. Broke, wet, cold and scared.
DeleteAre Union Tepito and Cartel de Tlahuac really the two biggest superpandillas/mini-cartels in Mex City? Or are they just the most well-covered in the press and their reputations are blown out of proportion?
ReplyDeleteThere's about 11 families
DeleteGood point?just curious with 1:34pm
DeleteCDS has every strategic entry / shipment point in Mexico. You don't hear about them in Cancun, DF, Monterrey, etc. b/c when your moving hundreds of thousands of pounds EVERY DAY oN trucks, boats, planes, trains, tunnels - your not going to generate heat on yourself for getting a few kilos of local consumption a day at Mexican retail prices because there selling hundreds of thousands of kilos 365 days a year throughout the USA. By the way - CDS and BLO are one and the same again except for a few tweaked out fringes.
ReplyDeleteWhere is your proof?concrete proof!?not cause you heard it on a cd cletus.
DeleteCjng has more just look at this info menso
Delete744 you're on a site about cartels, and you dare to say why do we care what CDS does. Lmao you take time in your so important life to read about them, so I guess you do.
Delete7:44 ay si, pinchi jota que segun muy millonaria.
DeleteAhi viene la patrona, apaga la tele y quitate sus garras, se las vas a dejar bien apestosas.
7:44. Why would you care? Because your reading this.
Delete8:12. My proof. Never tell a civilian like you but everybody that knows this biz and not just an emotionally tied cheerleader knows this is true. Also genius look at the cities CDS operates in and they all matter as an import, distribution, or export location. They don't fuck with less strategically important.
@1126. You forgot the traditional " they dont kill innocents either" haha.....after all we are talking corridos
Delete9:34 and 11:26 I, read articles here to make sense of the shit going on in Mexico for myself and for others. I, also read to find out if anything important is going on as far as a capture of a criminal and such. I, also try and comment sometime with no good words about cartels to try and discourage if possible people from joining them! I, don't give a fuck about the logistics or fortune that CDS or any other cartel has. Get my point?
Deleteno
Delete@6:24. No i don't get your point and you used a lot of words to say nothing.
Delete@Chivis. I, hate cartels and people that boast the BLOOD MONEY that they make. These people that boast about a criminals fortune are worse than the cartel members because they alone entice indirectly weak minded fools to join the cartels just to TRY-keyword- to make a name for themselves in the drug game. I, could care less like I, stated about the logistics and money the cartels may or may not have.
DeleteFirst accurate narcomap on bb
ReplyDeleteThis is off topic but does anyone know who the "rooster of Sinaloa" is or was. I just watched the documentary Narco Cultura. In one part, a corridor singer from Los Angeles goes to sing at a party in Culican and was told the house is that of the rooster of Sinaloas son.
ReplyDeleteValentín Elizalde
DeleteEl gallo de LA sierra ,,Adan Sanchez ...which he had a 45 cal.pistol on his hip way before el fantasma was on a nut sack..true that....
DeleteEl Gallo de Sinaloa was el Señor Chalino Sanchez. El Nemesis-
DeleteEl Gallo Elizalde was famous as Famous Amos in his time but he died, mysteriously like many sinaluenses, but he may have been Sonoran.
Delete--There are some Tigeres and Liones de la Sierra, pero cantan como chillidos de marrano, no mamen güeyes...
Lol three different answers.
DeleteHey, maybe there is a lot of roosters in Sinaloa
DeleteConclusion: Mexico is a criminal narco state ... yes really did I state something novel there?
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the U.S is the same with more cartels operating from different parts of the world in all major cities.
DeleteYes and likewise there's not a single city in US w/o crips, bloods, Latin kings, tengo blast etc etc etc etc slinging rock, powder, horse, sherm, etc etc etc.
DeleteThen you have your corner markets in every US city buying government food assistance for 50 cents on the dollar so Americans can get their arm candy; then you have your accountants, bankers, attorneys and million dollar service sector serving the drug industry.
Conclusion; USA is a drug consuming monster with an millions of dealers and service providers helping the drugs go north and the money go south.
7:45 drug money "Goes South" but only inside the pockets of the american banksters.
Delete3:02; Ouch - I believe 7:45 just destroyed your under-informed assertion. It takes one driver to haul a semi with a ton of product across border of US, but it takes hundreds of middlemen, hundreds of transporters, and thousands of dope peddlers to cut and turn that product into cash. Then you've got the separate chain of launderers that are also on US side getting that money back to us in Culiacan
Delete11:33 you only get like 10% and more usually less back to "culiacan", standard fee for middlemen that includes all the expenses and commissions.
Delete1:17. Are you talking 10% of retail price coming back. Well if so...probably less but if you sell 1 million worth of product to one or two buyers in US your biggest cost is product (usually 8-15 times our cost depending what it is and where you took ownership, buying on credit or paid for, etc. ) and transportation is cheaper the bigger amounts you risk moving. Truck cheap, cars or mules expensive - so your mathematical formula is lacking a ton of variables genius expert.
DeleteCds seems to still have a good grip especially on the borders even if they are contested, cjng will likely cover more than this in the coming years
ReplyDeleteSo Zetas are still strong in Zacatecas.
ReplyDeleteNo CDG is, only Zetas remnants remain.
Delete7:17 pretty.much a secret and in secret, million dollar club only, the rest are golfas and cjng maruchaneros.
DeleteCDN doesnt have the plugs El sr cortez has,, the Crdenas Guillen family have the best cocaine sources.
DeleteLos talibanes are with cdg.
Delete@Unkonwn can you tell me more info of what better "sources" does the CDG from Matamoros has with cocaine.
DeleteP. Salo
ReplyDelete9:29 ya lo pensé,
Deletepero no te mochas.
Minor quibble: Matamoros and Reynosa are in wrong location on map.
ReplyDeleteyou are correct, I have sent a message to victor about the cities being inverted
Delete"El vitor" works for us, wonnerful.
Delete@645 people who want accurate info. If you want inaccurate info just listen to some new gen corridos
DeleteNo he does not...he sends his articles that he thinks I may be interested in posting. We communicate off record about this and that. He is a very smart think-tanker who I admire and he is from Coahuila...but in the laguna area.
DeleteWud about pipeline theft extortion and all that?
ReplyDeleteThere's a green dot in the middle of GTO not identified.
ReplyDeleteCorrect! I have sent Victor a message about the omission... thank you!
Delete"El Vitor" he don' care none
DeleteCDS is doing alot of kidnappings in Parral, cant waot till la linea takes over.
ReplyDeleteCDS clearing the Plaza. Lines isn't taking over anything right now, they are just looking to survive the war
DeleteThats a cds stringhold but nice try
DeleteChapo is done
ReplyDeleteDuh he is in new York dummy.
DeleteChapo was finished the day he crossed the border. So your not saying anything new. His cartel on the other hand continues.
DeleteValentine is not from sinaloa, he's from sonora, he's got a ranch in navajoa
ReplyDeleteThank you 9:34 and 9:30. Victor made the corrections, also found one other (Ecatepec), and added Chilpancingo and Cuernavaca.
ReplyDeleteThe new version is posted at top..
Could you get the English map updated as well?
DeleteLooks like BLO still controls Nogales
ReplyDeleteNogales is split in half, sinaloa/ blo.
ReplyDeleteNo one in Nayarit??
ReplyDeleteThat's cjng plaza
DeleteBLO still has 85% of the state
DeleteLooks like CJNG is taking over and giving all the main cartels what's rightfully theirs.
ReplyDeleteVarious reports in jalisco and nayarit that marina is on the hot trail of menso. His dumbass decided to hide in el grullo which if you know Jalisco, thats a bad spot to be hiding considering it has valleys surrounding it. Im calling it by xmas he'll be damaso neighbor in juarez
ReplyDeleteShould be interesting, it's a battle of the titans. Mayo vs. Mencho, let's see who the real boss of bosses is. That's really what it comes down to, cds usually snitches against their enemies to goverment to catch their competition but Mencho knows that so it's about who is making the better payments. Mayo has been in the mountains for a very long time but I'm sure he has the sinaloa goverment paid so he doesn't worry much. Same with jalisco and Mencho. Only time will tell.
DeleteAccording to El Blog Del Narco, San luis potisi belongs to CJNG
ReplyDeleteChivis, is there a more recent version of this map that you're aware of? It's for a project constructing a relational diagram of historical and current group presence
ReplyDeleteI asked Victor, who BTW is a think tanker and part of la silla rota, I asked him about a new updated map, he says he is working on it----but that was a couple of months ago. So I don't know.
