El Chapo Guzman and his Sinaloa Cartel Expand to Australia

Australian government officials are reporting that over the last two years the Sinaloa drug cartel from Mexico was responsible for importing half of the cocaine into its country.  The cartel is led by Mexico’s most wanted Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman who is credited for establishing this well-financed and highly organized drug trade expansion by sending his lieutenants to Sydney.  The scope of the Sinaloa cartel’s operations were discovered in June when an $83 million cocaine bust occurred.  It is believed El Chapo sent up drug importing relationships with existing
International crime syndicates.
