Anabel Hernández investigates cartel links to politics and entertainment

Mexican journalist and author Anabel Hernández has released a new book titled ‘Narcocracia. El Grande revela cómo los cárteles conquistaron México’. The investigation explores the alleged connections between organized crime and various power structures, including politics and the entertainment industry.

The research is based on the testimony of Sergio Villarreal Barragán, known as ‘El Grande’, a former member of the Beltrán Leyva organization and a witness in the judicial proceedings against Genaro García Luna. Hernández argues that these relationships have helped form networks where economic, political, and criminal interests converge.

The publication has drawn attention for mentioning various public figures and entertainers, though these claims are based on journalistic investigation and testimonies. Some individuals mentioned have denied the allegations.
