August 10, 2012, was a very ironic day for the Mexican government. The Mexican female drug lord who monopolized the US market was arrested, but in prison, she was tough and solid, not only treating the prison guards as her servants, but also publicly satirizing the corruption and incompetence of the Mexican government.
First, the eldest lady of the drug lord family
Sandra, the eldest lady of the Mexican drug lord family, family smuggling, in Mexico, almost the drug trafficking family, has a lot of relationship with her. For example Yaduro. Bettelheim. Leiva or Phyllis. Jaiado and so on.
This has led to Sandra's lucrative and dangerous life, and she often has to face bullets or unknown dangers.
By the age of 13, there were 7 dead siblings in the family. Sandra, on the other hand, was the only survivor.
But it was far from over, and at the age of 17, Sandra entered a prestigious university in Mexico.
At that time, she had a dream of becoming a journalist, so she was extra serious during her studies, but this unattainable idea was later shattered by Sandra's boyfriend.
One afternoon, Sandra's boyfriend kidnapped her into the hands of the then drug lord Vonseca, and the competition between the drug lords was fierce and bloody.
It was not until the family negotiated many times that Vonseca put Sandra back. But at this time, Sandra could not pick up her broken dream.
What happened during this period, perhaps only Sandra herself knows. All that people see is Sandra jumping into the family drug trafficking business after returning to the family.
II. Queen of the Pacific
The little girl's upbringing history is always cruel, but for Sandra, it seems to be the guidance of the bloodline, and it seems that the family guidance is good.
After entering the drug trafficking business, her career path cannot be said to be smooth, but overall, it is very smooth.
She knows what the most advantageous "weapon" is as a woman. How to use these weapons and how to maximize benefits.
Of course, as a drug dealer, there is always a day when you are arrested. On September 28, 2007, Sandra was arrested for the first time, and the Mexican government discovered that Sandra had established a huge drug trafficking route in the United States Sea. There is a huge amount of drug trafficking along this route.
At that time, the Mexican government, which had just emerged from the war on drugs, attached great importance to this and sent Sandra to the United States for trial. But soon after, Sandra was extradited back to Mexico.
That means Sandra needs to serve her sentence in a Mexican prison. But how to judge is a big question.
Drug trafficking, naturally, is indispensable for crimes such as money laundering, firearms and organized crime, and according to the regular law, Sandra must eat guns. But in Mexico, Sandra is almost synonymous with drugs.
And drugs, at present, are simply impossible to uproot from Mexico. How many Sandra people were in the government, no one knows, anyway, Sandra was only sentenced to 7 years in prison.
Moreover, according to the investigation of relevant people later, this big drug lord is no different from vacationing in prison. In addition to not being able to go out at will, it is even more dashing than vacation.
The prison guards served her every day, wine, cigarettes and jewelry...
In 2015, Sandra was released from prison and gave her first interview to foreign media, in which Sandra did not care about her drug trafficking arrest, and finally, she was very arrogant in satirizing the Mexican government, and since then people have also known in their hearts that in the land of Mexico, drug traffickers are powerful and local incompetence.
Third, why can Sandra be so arrogant?
The reason why Sandra can be so arrogant is actually mainly related to family and personal achievements. As mentioned above, Sandra's family belongs to a powerful drug lord family.
Both the father and the mother have a very high status in Mexico. And from such a family, Sandra's starting point is destined to be an end that others cannot reach.
Just how arrogant and powerful are Mexico's drug lords?
It is reported that the Mexican government once went to war with local drug lords, however, the party that lost in the end turned out to be the Mexican government. Moreover, the Mexican police once handed over more than forty academic protests against drugs to the drug lords.
It can be seen that the history of local drug lords is no less harmful than any terrorist organization.
And Sandra, as the eldest lady of the drug lord family, her life is destined to be extraordinary. After being kidnapped by her boyfriend at the age of 17, Sandra devoted herself to the family drug lord business.
And during her time as the "Queen of the Pacific", several men played a decisive role in her.
Generally speaking, there will be marriages between drug lords and drug lords, just like Sandra's father and mother, grandfather and grandmother, the marriage between the family can make both families have better development.
Secondly, based on the particularity of drug lords, I am afraid that ordinary people do not dare to enter the game easily. Sandra's parents also persuaded Sandra to marry another candidate in the same field.
But Sandra refused, she did not choose the so-called suitable person, but embarked on the road of "government-business collusion".
Sandra's first husband, a senior police officer in Sinaloa, and her second husband, was an official with Mexico's federal government's anti-drug agency.
Both officials held high positions and formed a natural umbrella for Sandra's drug trafficking business. Even later, he helped Sandra sell drugs to make a profit.
Of course, the final ending of these two is not very good, after all, with the tiger, this business is not easy to do.
When Sandra met her third husband, she already had a relatively strong strength. Juan. Diego. Espinosa, the second-in-command of Colombia's "North Valley drug cartel". In the drug world, ceiling-like figures.
During Sandra's marriage to him, her property almost multiplied several times. Even later, the origin of the title of "Queen of the Pacific" did not lack his help.
With the big guys gathered around, Sandra was like getting on a plane of money and rushing straight into the sky! By the time she was arrested, no one could say how much money she had earned.
However, despite being in the world of drugs, Sandra never touched drugs. In this circle, Sandra knows that as long as she is involved in drugs, her life is equivalent to ruin.
Summary:
Power, where people want. However, although illegal profits come quickly, they are not shallow in harm. The inability of the Mexican government to completely eradicate drugs is nothing less than popular support.
Collusion between officials and businesses within the government, and the desire for money for the sake of the private sector. As outsiders, we can only say "sad, lamentable".
