The Sinaloa cartel is that big? I am not certain how big they are I always just saw them as a group under the umbrella of the label of “Mexican drug cartel†like other Mexican cartels. Which is why I saw them as a subset. It’d be like comparing the value of one MLB team to the value of all of the NFL teams combined. If we compared the Sinaloa cartel and the whole Ndrangheta then I think the Ndrangheta has more money and power. We would be taking all of the powerful individual families into account.
yes, it's big, thousands members as the ndrangheta, just look at how many gangsters are killed in mexico... it seems sinaloa members do not refer to themselves as a cartel, but rather as a federation of families, i suppose they have not made members like in the mafia but loyal people who killed someone for them or who control multiple areas / drugs
I did not know they were that huge. They must be the biggest individual criminal organization in the world right? In comparison to the whole Ndrangheta, I think the Ndrangheta might have their hands in more areas of business and politics. They are big time drug players like the Sinaloa cartel who they are probably buy drugs from. El Chapo was a billionaire though. I’m not sure if there is any one Ndrangheta boss who is a billionaire but it wouldn’t surprise me. They go to great lengths to keep a low profile. Denaro is actually a billionaire and he is in the Sicilian mafia.
