Mexico has shut down the operations hub of the country’s most powerful drug families — a remote ranch with a lake full of gators and lions on the prowl.

The Monte Rico compound, in the state of Veracruz, was registered to brothers Jacinto and Alberto Rodríguez of the infamous the Los Piñas Cartel.

The twosome turned their land into a place where they tortured their rivals, officials said.

Sounds like Mexico is really making some progress against the cartels.

I wonder if that’s because of the wall. Less money flowing.

Some person will fill the void. Happens every time one of these are taken down.

“Sounds like Mexico is really making some progress against the cartels.”

Well, The New York Times, owned by a Mexican oligarch, does make it sound that way.

Yes it does. "Major busts" are meaningless photo-ops that correspond to no detectable change in drug use or criminal profits.

The cartel must have missed a payment to a politician.
