Tamaulipas Illicit Network Index

The Tamaulipas Illicit Network Index (INI) maps the organizations and individuals leading drug and human trafficking in northern Mexico.

Criminal organizations and leaders

The Tamaulipas dataset maps the two main organized criminal groups reigning in Tamaulipas, Mexico as well as their influence on the political life of the border region, where many politicians and businessmen have been accused of money laundering. The largest operating groups are currently Cartel del Noreste - a faction of Los Zetas - and Cartel del Golfo, which has been weakened by internal conflicts that have led to the creation of multiple factions.


While Cartel del Noreste, Cartel del Golfo and their factions are primary involved in drug trafficking activities, they also control the routes of human and sex trafficking leading to the United States as reported in the media and as documented by academic research and investigative networks.
