Hi LaLouisiane you are right that Los Zetas has taken a lot of the territory of Los Zetas but the gulf cartel still has some key turf along the gulf coast.
Also technically speaking in Mexico itself, Los Zetas control more geographic territory but the Sinaloa Cartel sells more dope and makes more money.
Sinaloa looks to rule by dominating the market by shipping and selling more drugs. Los Zetas rule through terror and violence. However, Los Zetas has had some major setbacks through arrests and assassinations of key members of their cartel.
There has always been the rumor that the Mexican government has made an agreement with Chapo. when I have spoken with people from Sinaloa, they say it is common knowledge that Chapo is there. He has been sighted going out to eat and driving in a massive caravan in his bulletproof SUV. All rumors but it makes you wonder what is really going on with the Mexican government south of the border.
Yea I read that as well.
I read a story about Chapo and a bunch of bodyguards that he had went to one of his favorite restaurants. The guards walked in and took everyone's cell phones in the placebo nobody could take pictures or call authorities. They sat down ate a wonderful meal and when they were done eating returned everyone's phones and paid every patrons bill in the restaurant. They walked out nonchalant and left without incident.
I heard that the Mexican army themselves are traveling with and protecting Chapo everywhere he goes. When you have that kind of power anything is possible. That's a scary thought.
