Anabel Hernández Narcocracia book release

Overview

Investigative journalist Anabel Hernández has released a new book titled ‘Narcocracia’. The work explores alleged connections between organized crime, political structures, and the entertainment industry.

The investigation utilizes data and testimony from Sergio Villarreal Barragán, known as ‘El Grande’, a former member of the Beltrán Leyva organization and a witness in judicial proceedings against Genaro García Luna. Hernández argues these relationships have created networks where economic, political, and criminal interests converge.

The publication follows a period of shifting political reception for Hernández. While former President Andrés Manuel López Obrador previously praised her work, the relationship changed after her 2022 reports regarding alleged links between the MORENA political coalition and the Sinaloa Cartel. Some public figures and entertainers mentioned in the new book have denied the allegations.
