“You might see a disintegration of the Sinaloa cartel into two very powerful groups. There could be real violence in northwest Mexico where they have the most control [….] and (the Jalisco cartel) could look at the turmoil and try to push for control of territory.” In a Border Report article, Global Guardian Director of Intelligence Michael Ballard discussed the potential fallout from last week’s arrest of two high-level members of the Sinaloa cartel — and what it could mean for travelers and businesses in Mexico.
