Mexico, 1984 to 2026. Again and again, the men Mexico paid to fight organized crime were found to be paid by it too: a security minister convicted in Brooklyn of taking the Sinaloa cartel's bribes, a state attorney general who pleaded guilty to trafficking, a drug-war general convicted of protecting a trafficker. This book follows the money through pill chemicals, iron ore, governors' ghost companies, banks cut off by Washington, smuggled diesel and Florida condominiums, and asks what became of those who took it. Covers Genaro García Luna and the Sinaloa cartel, Édgar Veytia and the H-2 cartel, Javier Duarte and the government of Veracruz, Zhenli Ye Gon and Unimed Pharm Chem, and Nemesio Oseguera and the Jalisco New Generation cartel.
