Passengers are greeted by buzzing drills and unfinished flooring alongside posters promoting the tournament. Renovations have been ongoing for a year, with over 3,000 workers tackling the project.

His death at the hands of the Mexican security forces triggered a wave of retaliatory violence that affected several states. This situation will undoubtedly occur again.

They endure because someone moves the money, launders the profits, manages the assets, cultivates legitimate fronts and binds networks of loyalty through family. In the case of CJNG, that figure was not only El Mencho. It was also, allegedly, his wife Rosalinda González Valencia.
