The state of San Luis Potosí is a neighbor, among others, of Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, and Veracruz, places where disputes between criminal groups have occurred in the last few years.

In the last decade, the region has suffered the settlement of at least six cartels. In spite of this authorities were alerted just a year ago of the dispute primarily maintained by the Gulf Cartel and Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación.

According to the authorities, the first criminal groups to settle with great power in San Luis Potosí were the Gulf Cartel and Los Zetas. However, due to the internal divisions of the latter criminal organization, the Gulf Cartel was left with a greater presence in the state.

Currently, this drug trafficking cartel has a presence in 19 municipalities, in the Altiplano and in some regions of the Huasteca Zone, such as Valles, Tamuín and Ébano.
