--------

In a rare interview, El Primo, a former drug kingpin turned federal informant, shed light on the brutal realities of the drug trade and unexpected government ties within the cartel world. Discussing betrayals and snitching as a business tactic rather than a betrayal, El Primo emphasized that loyalty in the drug trade is always to the money, never to individuals. He revealed suspicions that top cartel figures, including Mario Núñez Meza—known as “the Butch of Durango”—were actually CIA agents. El Primo compared these figures to infamous mob bosses, suggesting that cartel power structures have covert government connections. He even expressed disbelief over El Chapo’s legendary prison escapes, hinting at inside manipulation. Serving 9 years of a 12.5-year sentence after cooperating with U.S. authorities, El Primo painted a complex picture of cartel dynamics intertwined with deep government involvement, redefining longstanding narratives about Mexico’s drug trade leadership.
