The Underworld Podcast · El Mayo Behind Bars: Cartel War, Conspiracy and Narcopolitics · 4 Aug 2026 podcast

Among the many threats to Rocha Moya's political survival was the outcry about the 2024 shooting death of his one-time chief political rival, Héctor Melesio Quinn Ojeda, a former lawmaker and university rector.

the crime remains unsolved mexican federal prosecutors concluded that the state inquiry into the shooting was a sham among the inconsistencies according to prosecutors state investigators compiled a fake video meant to conceal where when and how the victim was slain the resulting uproar forced the resignation of the chief sinaloa prosecutor but roshan moya

Their boss remained in office despite calls for his resignation.

Since then, the Sinaloa Civil War and its connections to Mexican politics have spilled into other states.

Top lieutenants are constantly being caught or killed, with U.S.

law enforcement all over the situation.

Remember, the Sinaloa Cartel was designated a terrorist organization last year, giving U.S.

authorities way more bandwidth to go after them militarily.

I mean, that is exactly what led to Jalisco Cartel Kingpin El Mencho's death this February.

Here is Luis Chaparro, Juarez-born journalist and chief of the outlet Pie de Nota, or Footnote, for more.

And we'll put the full interview, by the way, up on the Patreon for our subscribers because we love you and we want to kiss you on the lips.

But the new generation is kind of, I guess, cartel nepo babies, the second or third generation cartel leaders.

It seems that they don't even inspire the kind of respect from anyone in the public that their ancestors might have done, these kind of campesinos, these...

kind of guys who grew from nothing to become leaders of multi-billion dollar empires.

Do people have any respect for these people?

Or is it just kind of terror at this point?

Like Luis just said, this civil war has made the situation in Sinaloa way more violent, unpredictable, and led by this new generation of Nepo babies who command fear without necessarily the respect of their campesino fathers.

Michael Ferrara, a former federal prosecutor in Chicago involved in the case against Mayo's eldest son Vicente, aka El Bicentillo, has echoed this.

Last week, he told an LA Times reporter that, quote, for the narco juniors, they've never lived in a real world.

They've lived in a world where their fathers are in complete control.
