There have been numerous instances of high-level officials, including politicians and law enforcement officers, being charged with or arrested for their involvement with the Sinaloa cartel.

The Sinaloa cartel was quick to establish itself as a major player in Mexican drug trade. The cartel came into being through the merger of several smaller drug trafficking groups, including the Guadalajara cartel led by Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo.
