Guadalajara Cartel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Guadalajara Cartel was a Mexican drug cartel which was formed in the 1980's by Rafael Caro Quintero and Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo in order to ship heroin and marijuana to the United States. Among the first of the Mexican drug trafficking groups to work with the Colombian cocaine mafias, the Guadalajara cartel prospered from the cocaine trade, eventually broadening into a group known as the Federation.
Most of the business was eventually taken over by the Tijuana Cartel.
