Journalist based in Mexico, focused on crime and drugs. I cover mafias, contraband, gangster politics and the intertwining issues in Mexico, Latin America, the United States, UK or wherever the story leads. These are really important subjects that are having an impact on a lot of countries, and are destroying a lot of lives, but politicians struggle to have a strategy on them. I hope you can join me in trying to better understand them and find answers. All comments, subscriptions, ideas and contributions are super appreciated. I have also written a trilogy of books on the drug war: El Narco: Inside Mexico's Criminal Insurgency (2011); Gangster Warlords: Drug Dollars, Killing Fields And The New Politics of Latin America (2016); and Blood Gun Money: How American Arms Gangs and Cartels (2021).
