A groundbreaking insider's look at the world of Mexican drug cartels, told through the eyes of a former member and the star witness in the trial of El Chapo. The Sinaloa Cartel is widely believed to be the most powerful drug cartel in the world, led by the legendary Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada and, until his arrest, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. In 2009, El Mayo's son, Vicente Zambada Niebla, himself a high-ranking figure in the organization, was arrested and extradited to stand trial in the United States, where he would become a key witness in the case against El Chapo. The Traitor is Zambada's story, told in his own words, as recorded in his private journal and in the documents he drafted as part of his plea deal. Anabel Hernandez, one of the most dedicated chroniclers of the Mexican drug trade, weaves together this firsthand testimony with her own shocking research to craft a stunning expose of life inside Mexico's drug cartels. She names names, introducing readers to the myriad figures who people this dangerous world. A dazzling feat of reportage, The Traitor is a deep dive into a multibillion-dollar criminal enterprise.

La verdadera noche de Iguala/ The True Night of Iguala

La verdadera noche de Iguala/ The True Night of Iguala: La historia que el gobierno trató de ocultar/ The Story That the Government Tried to Hide (Spanish Edition)

With contributions from seven of Mexico's finest journalists, this is reportage at its bravest and most necessary - it has the power to change the world's view of their country, and by the force of its truth, to start to heal the country's many sorrows.Supported the Arts Council Grant's for the Arts Programme and by PEN PromotesVeering between carnival and apocalypse, Mexico has in the last ten years become the epicentre of the international drug trade. The so-called "war on drugs" has been a brutal and chaotic failure (more than 160,000 lives have been lost). The drug cartels and the forces of law and order are often in collusion, corruption is everywhere. Life is cheap and inconvenient people - the poor, the unlucky, the honest or the inquisitive - can be "disappeared" leaving not a trace behind (in September 2015, more than 26,798 were officially registered as "not located"). Yet people in all walks of life have refused to give up. Diego Enrique Osorno and Juan Villoro tell stories of teenage prostitution and Mexico's street children. Anabel Hernández and Emiliano Ruiz Parra give chilling accounts of the "disappearance" of forty-three students and the murder of a self-educated land lawyer. Sergio González Rodríguez and Marcela Turati dissect the impact of the violence on the victims and those left behind, while Lydia Cacho contributes a journal of what it is like to live every day of your life under threat of death. Reading these accounts we begin to understand the true nature of the meltdown of democracy, obscured by lurid headlines, and the sheer physical and intellectual courage needed to oppose it.

El traidor es uno de los trabajos periodísticos más ambiciosos en la trayectoria de Anabel Hernández. Su historia se remonta a enero de 2011, cuando la contactó uno de los abogados de Vicente Zambada Niebla, mejor conocido como Vicentillo, quien enfrentaba un juicio en una corte de Chicago. La intención era compartir con la periodista documentos y hechos que ampliaban y esclarecían varios de los episodios que acababa de dar a conocer en Los señores del narco. Entre los documentos a los que tuvo acceso se encuentran el inquietante autorretrato como payaso que aparece en la portada y los diarios realizados por Vicentillo durante las negociaciones para colaborar con el gobierno norteamericano, los cuales hasta ahora eran secretos. En ellos el capo reconstruyó su historia y la historia de una de las organizaciones de tráfico de estupefacientes más grandes del planeta. A lo largo de estas páginas, la autora se adentra en el Cártel de Sinaloa a través del relato de Vicentillo, quien exhibe de manera descarnada cómo funciona el sistema interno que da vida a la organización criminal, la violencia, las mil formas de traficar droga y la complicidad entre políticos, empresarios y fuerzas del orden. Pero sobre todo devela el perfil de quien durante el último medio siglo ha sido el rey del narcotráfico. Quien nunca ha pisado la cárcel y quien desde su trono ha visto caer a amigos, enemigos, socios, competidores, familiares, empleados del gobierno y hasta sus propios hijos, sin que eso haga mella en su poder, el padre de Vicentillo: Ismael el Mayo Zambada. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The Traitor is one of the most ambitious journalistic works of Anabel Hernández's career. Her story dates back to January of 2011, when she's contacted by one of Vicente Zambada Niebla's lawyers, better known as Vicentillo, who was facing charges in a court in Chicago. The intention was to share with the reporter documents and facts that would broaden and clear up various episodes that had just come to light in Los señores del narco. Among the documents to which she had access is the disturbing self-portrait as a clown that appears on the cover and the diaries kept by Vicentillo during his negotiations to collaborate with the North American government, which until now were secret. In them, el capo reconstructed his story and the story of the one of the largest drug-trafficking organizations on the planet. In these pages, the author goes inside the Sinaloa Cartel through Vicentillo's account, who grimly exhibits the internal workings that give life to the criminal organization, the violence, the thousands of way to traffic drugs, and the complicity among politicians, businessmen, and security forces. But, above all, he unveils the profile of the person who, during the last half century, has been the king of drug trafficking. Someone who has never stepped inside a prison cell, who from his thrown has seen his friends, enemies, partners, competitors, family members, government employees, and even his own children fall, without this ever making a dent in his power, the father of Vicentillo: Ismael el Mayo Zambada.

Leaders & Notable People

Los señores del narco&nbsp;es una descarnada crónica sobre las alarmantes complicidades de los altos círculos políticos, policiacos, militares y empresariales con el crimen organizado. Esta segunda edición de Los señores del narco, revisada y actualizada, incluye la entrevista inédita del Chapo con la DEA. Anabel Hernández tuvo acceso no sólo a una vasta documentación, inédita hasta hoy, sino a testimonios directos de autoridades y expertos en el tema, así como de personas involucradas con los principales cárteles mexicanos de la droga. Esto le ha permitido examinar rigurosamente el origen de la sangrienta lucha por el poder entre los grupos criminales, y cuestionar la "guerra" del gobierno federal contra la delincuencia organizada. Al investigar las intrincadas redes de contubernios, la autora tuvo que remontarse a la década de 1970, cuando se controlaba el tráfico de enervantes haciendo que los narcos prácticamente pagaran impuestos al gobierno. En su inquietante recorrido avanza hacia los años ochenta, cuando los jefes de la organización criminal del Pacífico, auspiciados por la CIA, incursionaron en el jugoso negocio de la cocaína, y nos conduce hasta el surgimiento de poderosos capos como los hermanos Beltrán Leyva, Ismael El Mayo Zambada o Joaquín Guzmán Loera, quienes lograron penetrar las estructuras del Estado y ponerlas a su servicio. Tras echar abajo el mito de la fuga de El Chapo de la prisión de Puente Grande en un carrito de lavandería, este libro narra su ascenso en la jerarquía del crimen y cómo ha llevado hasta sus últimas y terribles consecuencias un "pacto de impunidad" con numerosos funcionarios públicos y hombres de negocios. Este libro, en suma, se presenta como un impactante viaje al interior del mundo del narcotráfico para buscar los poderosos resortes que lo mueven, y los ha descubierto con nombre y apellido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION&nbsp; Los señores del narco is a no-holds-barred chronicle of the shocking complicity of high political circles, police, military and businessmen with organized crime in Mexico. Anabel Hernández got access, not only to countless documents --unpublished until today--, but also to direct statements rendered by authorities and experts on the subject, as well as by people involved with the main Mexican drug cartels.

Debolsillo]

Este libro forma parte del largo recorrido periodístico de Anabel Hernández dentro del complejo mundo del crimen organizado en México, así como de su incesante búsqueda por entender los diversos componentes de los cárteles de la droga, los cuales tienen sumida a la nación desde hace décadas en una espiral de violencia en la que todos los días son explotadas, desaparecidas o asesinadas decenas de personas inocentes, muchas de ellas del sexo femenino. Desde su bestseller Los señores del narco (2010), éste es quizás el acercamiento más íntimo a la cúpula del narcotráfico, un detrás de cámaras de lo que ocurre en el multimillonario negocio criminal. En Emma y las otras señoras del narco la autora recorre el velo y muestra las pulsiones más profundas que hacen a los narcos buscar poder y dinero a toda costa. La autora de El traidor (2019), multigalardonada y reconocida internacionalmente como experta en temas de narcotráfico, una vez más gira la mesa del tablero y ofrece al lector un análisis casi antropológico de los capos de la droga y su entorno más cercano desde una nueva óptica: el mundo de sus mujeres. En estas páginas desfilan personajes como Emma Coronel y otras esposas de importantes narcotraficantes, una ex Miss Universo, y algunas de las actrices, cantantes y conductoras de televisión más reconocidas y aplaudidas en México, tanto del pasado como de la época actual. Madres, esposas y amantes. Mujeres que se amoldan a las reglas machistas de sus amos y bailan ante ellos -en privado, fiestas u orgías- la danza de los siete velos, y lo hacen sobre los cadáveres de los miles que han sido víctimas de los mismos hombres a quienes deleitan con su cómplice presencia a cambio de dinero, joyas y propiedades. Con el rigor investigativo que la caracteriza, Anabel Hernández, a través de entrevistas realizadas a testigos de los hechos, lleva al lector a las reuniones familiares, fiestas y alcobas de diversos narcotraficantes donde ocurren las historias de amor, compra y venta de placer, incesto, ambición, traición y venganza. Un mundo hasta ahora desconocido. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION This book is part of Anabel Hernández''s long journalistic journey within the complex world of organized crime in Mexico. It continues her relentless search to understand the drug cartels'' various components which have plunged the country in a downward spiral of violence for decades, and one in which dozens of innocent people are exploited, disappeared, or killed every day, many of them female. &nbsp; Since publishing her bestseller Los señores del narco/Narcoland, this is perhaps the most intimate contact to the leadership in drug trafficking, a behind-the-scenes look at what happens in the multimillion-dollar criminal business. In Emma and Other Narco Women, Hernández exposes what''s behind the veil and reveals their drive to seek power and money at all costs. The multi-award-winning and internationally recognized expert on the drug trafficking world, turns the table once again and offers readers an almost anthropological analysis of drug lords and those closest to their inner circle from a new point of view: the women within that world. &nbsp; In these pages we see women such as Emma Coronel and other wives of important drug lords, a former Miss Universe, some of Mexico''s most recognized and acclaimed actresses, singers, and television hosts from the past and from present time. Mothers, wives, and lovers. Women who conform to their masters'' male chauvinistic rules and dance the dance of the seven veils for them -in private, at parties, or orgies-, and they do it on the conscience of thousands of victims of those same masters who they entertain in exchange for money, jewelry, and properties. Through interviews, witnesses to events, and the investigative meticulousness and that characterizes her, Anabel Hernández takes the reader to family gatherings, parties, and even inside the bedrooms of various drug bosses where we witness love stories, the sale of goods, the sale of sexual favors, incest, betrayals, and revenge. An, until now, secret world.

«Mi historia se entrelaza con la de una multitud de personajes bastante complejos y pertenecientes a todos los ámbitos, cuento con mucha información que le servirá para completar sus investigaciones. Temo por mi vida. No sé cuál sea mi destino, mi vida está en manos de Dios, pero debo descargar toda la información que he acumulado antes de que algo me pase.» - Celeste V.\nTras publicar Emma y las otras señoras del narco y convocar a romper el pacto de impunidad dentro de los cárteles de la droga, Anabel Hernández recibió un inquietante mensaje. Mujeres y hombres respondieron al llamado, revelando los secretos del mundo en el que han vivido. Es así como Celeste, quien durante más de una década fue pareja sentimental de Arturo Beltrán Leyva, se convierte en la guía de un viaje por el infierno donde ella vivió y conoció a los jefes de la droga más temidos de los últimos tiempos.\nPor medio de un testimonio descarnado y sin censura, el lector sube a una montaña rusa y hace un recorrido por el inframundo del narcotráfico. En diversas partes del trayecto, junto con los jefes de la droga, aparecen funcionarios públicos, empresarios y políticos en reuniones, llamadas telefónicas y grabaciones. En otros tramos, se ve caminar con tacones altos a decenas de mujeres cuya presencia motiva y perpetúa la maquinaria criminal. Celeste no solo abunda en detalles sobre las famosas Ninel Conde y Galilea Montijo y su vínculo con Arturo Beltrán Leyva, sino que revela la interacción de otras famosas como Mariana Ríos, Dorismar, Betty Monroe, Karla Luna, Karla Panini, Patricia Navidad o la socialité Violeta Vizcarra, una de las encargadas de enganchar a las famosas para llevarlas ante el líder de los Beltrán Leyva.\nEn el último tramo, la autora explora infiernos paralelos al de Celeste, incluyendo el propio. Asiste al juicio contra Genaro García Luna en Nueva York, donde se encuentra con su esposa Linda Cristina Pereyra. Y, finalmente, se adentra en los núcleos familiares de los Chapitos, cuyo momento criminal está en auge.\n«El infierno en el que ellas “aman” es el mismo que nos consume como sociedad y nación. Es a través de las señoras del narco y su interacción con los jefes de la droga que puede derribarse la barrera y no solo conocer los perfiles criminales, sino la psique de quienes comandan.»\nENGLISH DESCRIPTION\n“My story is entangled with that of a multitude of quite complex characters coming from all walks of life, I have a lot of information that will help you complete your investigations. I fear for my life. I don't know what my destiny holds, my life is in God’s hands, but I must handover all the information I have accumulated before something happens to me.” -CELESTE V.\nAfter publishing Emma and Other Narco Women and calling to break all impunity pacts within the drug cartels, Anabel Hernández received a disturbing message. Men and women responded to the call, revealing many secrets of the world in which they have lived. This is how Celeste, who was Arturo Beltrán Leyva’s partner for over a decade, becomes the guide on a journey through the hell where she lived and where met the most feared drug lords of recent times.\nWith her raw, candid, and uncensored testimony, the reader takes a roller coaster ride through the underground world of drug trafficking. In various parts of the journey, alongside the drug bosses, we see many public officials, businessmen, and politicians engaging either in meetings, phone calls, or recordings. In other sections, we see dozens of women in high heels whose presence motivates and perpetuates the criminal machinery. Celeste not only goes into details about celebrities like Ninel Conde and Galilea Montijo and their relationship with Arturo Beltrán Leyva, but also reveals interactions by other celebrities such as Mariana Ríos, Dorismar, Betty Monroe, Karla Luna, Karla Panini, Patricia Navidad and socialite Violeta Vizcarra, who was tasked with enticing the famous women to take them to the leader of the Bel

Community & Culture

The product of five years’ investigative reporting, the subject of intense national controversy, and the source of death threats that forced the National Human Rights Commission to assign two full-time bodyguards to its author, Anabel Hernández, Narcoland has been a publishing and political sensation in Mexico. The definitive history of the drug cartels, Narcoland takes readers to the front lines of the “war on drugs,” which has so far cost more than 60,000 lives in just six years. Hernández explains in riveting detail how Mexico became a base for the mega-cartels of Latin America and one of the most violent places on the planet. At every turn, Hernández names names – not just the narcos, but also the politicians, functionaries, judges and entrepreneurs who have collaborated with them. In doing so, she reveals the mind-boggling depth of corruption in Mexico’s government and business elite. Hernández became a journalist after her father was kidnapped and killed and the police refused to investigate without a bribe. She gained national prominence in 2001 with her exposure of excess and misconduct at the presidential palace, and previous books have focused on criminality at the summit of power, under presidents Vicente Fox and Felipe Calderón. In awarding Hernández the 2012 Golden Pen of Freedom, the World Association of Newspapers and News Publishers noted, “Mexico has become one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists, with violence and impunity remaining major challenges in terms of press freedom. In making this award, we recognize the strong stance Ms. Hernández has taken, at great personal risk, against drug cartels.”
