Benjamín Arellano Félix (born 12 March 1952〔) is a Mexican drug trafficker and former leader of the Mexican criminal organization known as the Tijuana Cartel or 'Arellano-Félix Organization'. == Biography == Benjamín Arellano Félix, who worked closely with his brothers, was one of Mexico's most powerful drug lords and the supplier of a third of U.S.A.'s cocaine.〔 Benjamín had six brothers: *Francisco Rafael Arellano Félix (born 24 October 1949) - Shot dead by gunmen disguised as clowns at child's party on October 18, 2013. *Carlos Arellano Félix (believed to be born 20 August 1955) is not currently wanted. *Eduardo Arellano Félix (born 11 October 1956), - Captured in 2008. *Ramón Eduardo Arellano Félix (born 31 August 1964) - Deceased, shot by police in 2002. *Luis Fernando Arellano Félix (believed to be born 26 January 1966) is not currently wanted. *Francisco Javier Arellano Félix (born 11 December 1969) - Captured in 2006. He also has four sisters, and Alicia and Enedina are most active in the cartel's affairs. Benjamín was first arrested on June 18, 1982 in Downey, California for receiving 100 kilos of cocaine smuggled through the San Ysidro border, however, he escaped custody.〔(Members of the Arellano-Felix Organization )〕 The Arellano Félix brothers obtained their first big break in 1989 when they inherited the organization from Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo after they showed early promise smuggling consumer electronics over the border.〔 By 1998, the Arellano brothers had been indicted in the U.S. for drug trafficking and his brother Ramón was put on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. Despite the brothers' audacity, they remained untouchable for 13 years. This was done, in part, with large amounts of cash, bribing Mexican politicians and police commanders, at the cost of an estimated $1m USD per week.〔〔(How Officials Jolted a Cocaine Cartel ) ABC News, September 28, 2002.〕 Benjamín Arellano tried to clear his name after the 1993 murder of Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo, in which he had been implicated. That high-profile assassination brought international attention to his trafficking organization and though, this forced Benjamín to lie low and adopt false names, he continued to live in casual confidence, apparently unafraid of capture.〔 Another of Benjamin's brothers, Francisco, was arrested soon after on drug charges and Benjamín, Ramón and Javier officially became fugitives. 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「Benjamín Arellano Félix」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
