Mexican authorities report a shift in the production and distribution of fentanyl as the Chapitos faction of the Sinaloa Cartel is moving its operations closer to Texas.
The most recent development comes as Mexico’s federal government began seizing multi-ton shipments of fentanyl precursors in the state of Nuevo Leon. The seizures come as the faction of the Sinaloa Cartel has been moving its laboratories away from Sinaloa into the Monterrey metropolitan area.
In recent days, Mexico’s Navy and the Federal Commission for the Protection of Health Risks (COFEPRIS) reported the seizure of more than 120 tons of various chemical precursors from Sinaloa Cartel companies. The seizures occurred in a series of enforcement actions in the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Nuevo Leon. Officials valued the seized chemicals at 87 million pesos in its current form (approximately 5.5 million USD), Mexico’s El Universal reported.
Breitbart Texas initially broke the news of the Sinaloa Cartel’s arrival in Nuevo Leon in 2021. Subsequently, the criminal group has steadily expanded its influence further into the area. As disclosed by law enforcement sources, the primary faction of the cartel active in Monterrey is the Chapitos faction, which has been actively establishing laboratories in the region.
The Monterrey metropolitan area stands as a bustling industrial center in Mexico, boasting numerous industrial parks and manufacturing zones. These locations provide ample cover for the clandestine operation of large-scale illegal drug manufacturing facilities.
