The Beltrán-Leyva Cartel (also known as the Beltrán Leyva Organization (BLO);〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://insightcrime.org/criminal-groups/mexico/beltran-leyva-org/item/81-beltran-leyva-organization )〕 (スペイン語:Cártel de los Beltrán Leyva)〔(Old cartels with new names. ) ''Excelsior'' Author: Jorge Fernández Menéndez. (April 12, 2010)〕 (''CBL''))〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dazzlepod.com/cable/10MEXICO79/ )〕 was a Mexican drug cartel and organized crime syndicate, headed by the five Beltrán Leyva brothers: Marcos Arturo, Carlos, Alfredo, Mario Alberto and Héctor. Founded originally as a branch of the Sinaloa Cartel, the Beltrán Leyva cartel was responsible for transportation and wholesaling of cocaine, heroin and marijuana (and the production of the last two) . It controlled numerous drug trafficking corridors, and engaged in human smuggling, money laundering, extortion, kidnapping, murder and gun-running.〔 The Sinaloa Cartel, one of Mexico's most powerful drug cartels, had effectively infiltrated the ranks of various Mexican government agencies and even Mexico's Interpol. Its last known leader, Héctor Beltrán Leyva, was arrested in October 2014, having had a multi-million dollar bounty placed on him by the governments of both the United States and Mexico.〔(Mexico offers $2 million for top drug lords )〕 On August 11 2011 the capture of one of the cartel's former top lieutenants,〔〔(La Mano Con Ojos por EdoMex )〕 called "the last Beltran-Leyva link of any importance",〔 prompted Mexican authorities to declare the cartel disbanded and extinct.〔〔 ==History== Born in the Sinaloan countryside in the 1960s, the Beltrán Leyva brothers — Arturo, Carlos, Alfredo, Mario Alberto and Héctor — worked closely with Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, during decades of smuggling. Sensing a void in the rival Gulf Cartel after Osiel Cárdenas' arrest on March 14 2003, the Sinaloa Cartel began to move into Gulf Cartel territory. Both gangs fought each other in northern Mexican cities, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of people, including some civilians, police and journalists. About 90 percent of those dead were drug traffickers. In 2004 and 2005, Arturo Beltrán Leyva led powerful groups of assassins to fight for trade routes in northeastern Mexico for the Sinaloa Cartel. Through the use of corruption or intimidation, the Beltrán Leyva Cartel was able to infiltrate Mexico's political,〔(Mauricio Fernández Garza y su pacto con los Beltrán Leyva )〕 judicial and police institutions to feed classified information about anti-drug operations,〔 〕 and even infiltrated the Interpol office in Mexico. During 2010, former Beltran-Leyva cartel lieutenant Óscar Osvaldo García Montoya (a.k.a. ''El Compayito''〔(''Cae el líder de La Mano con Ojos; lo vinculan con 600 homicidios: La Policía del Estado de México detuvo en la delegación Tlalpan a Óscar Osvaldo García Montoya, El Compayito; el capo trabajó con los hermanos Beltrán Leyva.'' ) Ángeles Velasco. Excelsior. Mexico City, Mexico. Retrieved March 7, 2012.〕) attempted to regroup some cartel remnants under a gang he called ''La Mano Con Ojos''.〔 García Montoya was arrested on August 11, 2011;〔 the Attorney General of Mexico had placed a $5 million peso ($400,000 USD) bounty for his capture.〔 Mexican authorities stated that García Montoya was "the last Beltran-Leyva link of any importance",〔 and that the cartel has been disbanded.〔〔 Allied forces of Los Zetas and Beltrán-Leyva remnants clashed on April 28, 2012 with gunmen of the Sinaloa Cartel in the Choix mountains. At least 32 armed men were confirmed dead. The renewed fighting in Sinaloa state between the BLO and Sinaloa Cartel is supposedly sparked by the incursion of the Sinaloa Cartel and its allies in Nuevo Laredo, traditionally the biggest Zeta stronghold. The last cartel leader, Héctor Beltrán Leyva, was captured on October 1, 2014 while eating at a popular restaurant in San Miguel de Allende. The U.S.A. was offering a reward of USD $5 million for information leading to his arrest.〔 while the Mexican government was offering a USD $2.1 million reward.〔〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beltrán-Leyva Cartel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
