Investigative journalist says the mexican government is behind the drug wars
"{journalist Anabel) Hernandez was looking into El Chapo's escape as part of the research for her new book, Narcoland: The Mexican Drug Lords and their Godfathers, which investigates the Mexican government and business elite's ties to the country's drug cartels. In the book, she claims that ex-president Vicente Fox started the war between Mexico's cartels, and that—since El Chapo's release—the government has continued to conspire with the Sinaloa cartel, allowing the web of corruption that keeps Mexico's cartels thriving to keep on growing.
We spoke to Anabel earlier this year after another discovery led to the Mexican chief of police allegedly instructing his men to make her disappear by any means necessary. Now that her book has had its English-language release, I thought I'd get in touch again to talk about the discoveries Anabel made while investigating the Mexican government's complicity in their country's drug trade.
