Overview InSight Crime, a foundation that studies organized crime in Latin America and the Caribbean (Insight Crime n.d.), indicates that Mexico’s larger drug cartels have become fragmented or "splintered" and have been replaced by "smaller, more volatile criminal groups that have taken up other violent activities" (InSight Crime 16 Jan. 2019). According to sources, Mexican law enforcement efforts to remove the leadership of criminal organizations has led to the emergence of new "smaller and often more violent" (BBC 27 Mar. 2018) criminal groups (Justice in Mexico 19 Mar. 2018, 25; BBC 27 Mar. 2018) or "fractur[ing]" and "significant instability" among the organizations (US 3 July 2018, 2). InSight Crime explains that these groups do not have "clear power structures," that alliances can change "quickly," and that they are difficult to track (InSight Crime 16 Jan.

LADB Article Id: 78485 ISSN: 1054-8890 Report Says Zetas are now Dominant Drug Cartel in Mexico by Carlos Navarro Category/Department: Drug Trafficking and Organized Crime Published: 2012-02-01 The Zetas, which have gained a reputation as Mexico's most brutal drug cartel, are now considered the country's largest criminal organization. A new report from Texas-based global-intelligence company Strategic Forecasting (Stratfor), which is based on data from the Procuraduría General de la República (PGR), said the Zetas have now established major operations in 17 states, surpassing the Sinaloa cartel in geographic reach. The information on the Zetas was part of a larger report that Stratfor put together on all drug-trafficking organizations operating in Mexico. The Zetas—created by a group of deserters from elite units of the Mexican military forces—were originally the enforcement arm of the Gulf cartel (SourceMex, Oct. 19, 2005, and July 26, 2006)— but broke away to form their own operation (SourceMex, Jan.
