#crime #mexicancartels #cartels The drug game is bigger and faster than you imagine. For more than a decade, Mexican cartels have become drug managers, and today their invisible hand indirectly negotiates and coordinates the different gangs of the continent towards a single objective: the shadowy sale of narcotics. The game no longer starts in Mexico, but in South America, specifically here, in the vast fields of Colombia and the jungles of Peru and Bolivia. These 3 locations produce the most coca, a crop more precious than gold. They transport this treasure by secret routes to Ecuador and Venezuela, two key routes for the drug's destination. From there, the shipments are sent by aircraft to Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Mexico. From that moment on, the drug follows different land and sea routes to the west, center, and east of the United States, the main consumer of the product. The sophisticated coordination of this entire process meant a business of close to 33 billion dollars for Mexican cartels in 2018. Since then, the figure has only increased, and with so much money on the table, the cartels have ventured into a new game on a global scale: money laundering. Today, US authorities are overwhelmed trying to track the money coming from the cartels' illicit businesses, and every day they ask the same question over and over again: How do Cartels Launder $70 Million a Day Without a Trace? 📚 Sources: https://fullsendmedia.notion.site/Mexican-Cartels-Sources-93a23a587a6442d58037a88e47186a9b

It’s December 18th, 2024. In the Oklahoma State Penitentiary, a guard approaches one of the 200 cells in Death Row and finds a prisoner inside, sitting on the edge of his bed. It’s 3 p.m. Kevin Ray Underwood has 24 hours left to live. Not every state in the US allows – or uses – the death penalty. The ones that do all have different execution protocols. But generally speaking, the timeline features similar events with slight differences in the details. These protocols can take months of preparation—all so that the day of execution is well… perfectly executed. This is what happens in the last 24 hours on Death Row.
