The Family Now Running the World's Largest Cartel 🤯
Following El Mencho's departure from leadership, the CJNG cartel is now effectively controlled by the Valencia family (the 'Quinnies'), who have transitioned from funding the organization to holding actual power and leadership positions. The family leveraged their Colombian connections and established avocado export routes from Michoacan to facilitate drug trafficking into the United States.
Summary
The transcript discusses a significant organizational shift within the CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel) cartel structure. After El Mencho's time as leader, major changes occurred within the organization. The Valencia family, referred to as the 'Quinnies,' has now assumed direct control and effective leadership of the CJNG. Historically, the Valencia family had served as financial backers of the organization, but their role has evolved into active operational and strategic leadership. The family's rise to power was facilitated by their pre-existing Colombian criminal connections and established drug trafficking routes into the United States. Notably, these routes were originally developed and legitimized through their avocado export business operating out of Michoacan, Mexico. The transcript suggests that the Valencia family's transition from financial supporter to operational leader represents a consolidation of power within the cartel's hierarchy.
