What was Sandra Beltrán's early life like in Guadalajara?
So this TikTok influencer got caught trafficking drugs and she got sent to prison. Now the woman's name is Sandra and Sandra is 17 when this story starts and she's living in Guadalajara, Mexico. And Sandra comes from a powerful drug trafficking family. So as you can imagine, she's surrounded by a lot of drugs and money and guns and power. But here's the thing. Sandra actually isn't interested in any of that. What she really wants is to become an investigative news reporter. So she starts following her dream. She enrolls in a university and she starts studying communications. But then that dream gets destroyed. Because one day around 1980, she meets this guy. Let's call him Javier. And Sandra thinks Javier is bueno.
And Javier also thinks Sandra is buena. And so they start dating. And a few years pass, and now she's in her third year at school. And one day, Sandra and Javier get into a huge fight over something. I don't know what. He's a jealous guy, so it probably has something to do with that. And Javier gets so pissed off that he decides to kidnap Sandra. So he kidnaps her, and he takes her to a remote place, and he keeps her there for a while, and later he releases her. Now, even though Sandra has been released, she's still really scared because Javier is connected to the local drug cartel, and if his jealous ass kidnapped her once, he's likely to do it again. So she decides to flee her new life at the university and go back to Guadalajara where she knows that she can be protected by her family.
And leaving the university, of course, kills her dream of becoming an investigative reporter. So now, she's stuck at home. I assume surrounded by members of her powerful drug trafficking family. And over time, she gets involved with the whole family drug business. And she joins in and she actually starts to like it. And Sandra, she seems to be a pretty ambitious person. So pretty quickly, she decides that she doesn't want to just be a woman in the cartel business. She wants to be the most powerful woman there. So she starts working hard on this, and she learns fast, and she stays disciplined, and she doesn't use any of the drugs herself like a lot of the other people in the business do. And because of that, members inside the cartel start trusting her.
So she starts getting better positions in the cartel. Now, here's the thing about Sandra, though. Apparently, a lot of men find her very whoppa. Specifically, a lot of powerful cartel guys really want to smash with her. And she takes full advantage of that. Like, she starts seducing notorious kingpins, she gets married to the top corrupt law enforcement officials, and she even becomes quite close to El Chapo. the world's most famous drug lord.
How did Sandra's relationship with Javier impact her life choices?
And with all these connections, Sandra continues to work her way up the Mexican drug trade. And years go by. And it's now the late 1990s. And her life changes again. Because she meets this guy, who everyone calls El Tigre. And El Tigre is a top Colombian drug trafficker with ties to the Colombian cartel. And Sandra thinks El Tigre is bueno, and El Tigre thinks she's really bueno as well. So they start dating, and soon they start doing business together. Now, the Colombian cartels are notorious for producing huge amounts of cocaine, but it can be difficult to move that across the US border because of the security the US border has. Now, the Mexican cartels, on the other hand, they already have the routes and the networks and the infrastructure to move drugs into the US with no problem.
And since Sandra now has access to both cartels, she becomes the bridge between the Colombian cartels and the Mexican cartels. And she starts overseeing the movement of a lot of cocaine from the Colombians to the Mexicans. And she becomes responsible for moving lots of drugs across the Pacific into the U.S. And she does this for years. And of course, from all this, Sandra is making tons of money and she is not afraid to spend it. She buys a couple of luxury homes. She starts building a collection of sports cars, Camaros and Bentleys and Audis and Mercedeses.
