The Biggest Smugglers In The World

Widely regarded to be the first female to ever rise to a position of leadership in the notorious Zetas drug cartel, Mireya Moreno Carreon managed all of the drug traffic in the Monterrey town of San Nicolas de Los Garza. Carreon is reported to have taken over the territory when the previous capo Raul Garcia Rodriguez got taken down by a military operation in 2010. Monterrey has been a brutal battlefield for drug cartels, with the Zetas facing off against three competing groups for dominance. Known as “La Flaca” (Spanish for “skinny”), Carreon only had a year on top before an undercover investigation busted her in a stolen vehicle with both cocaine and marijuana on her person.
