Drug Cartels

Drug cartels are organized crime groups that engage in the illegal production, distribution, and sale of drugs, primarily narcotics. They operate at regional, national, or international levels, often using violence and corruption to maintain control over their operations and territories. Cartels are notorious for their impact on communities, economies, and governance, typically thriving in areas where law enforcement is weak. Their activities can lead to significant social issues, including addiction and violence, and they often clash with authorities and rival groups, creating instability in the regions where they operate.
