El control del Cartel de Sinaloa sobre el mercado de las drogas de Chicago est\u00e1 impulsando la tasa de homicidios de la ciudad, seg\u00fan un informe de prensa, aunque en realidad a\u00fan no es clara esta relaci\u00f3n causal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Un informe de Bloomberg<\/a> describe c\u00f3mo Joaqu\u00edn \u201cEl Chapo\u201d Guzm\u00e1n, l\u00edder Sinaloa, ha acaparado durante los \u00faltimos siete a\u00f1os el control de la oferta y la distribuci\u00f3n al por mayor de drogas en la ciudad y una parte importante de la regi\u00f3n central de Estados Unidos (conocida como el Midwest). Cerca del 80 por ciento de la hero\u00edna, coca\u00edna, marihuana y metanfetaminas que van a Chicago proviene del Cartel de Sinaloa, seg\u00fan la DEA -un mercado avaluado en US$3 mil millones anuales-.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Es tan grande el control de Guzm\u00e1n que es capaz de fijar los precios, seg\u00fan Harold Ward, un exl\u00edder pandillero. El precio al por mayor de la hero\u00edna se ha duplicado en una d\u00e9cada y su dominio est\u00e1 provocando guerras territoriales cada vez m\u00e1s atroces entre las pandillas locales que venden drogas en las calles de la ciudad. El a\u00f1o pasado, Chicago registr\u00f3 506 homicidios en una poblaci\u00f3n de 2,7 millones, la tasa per c\u00e1pita m\u00e1s alta entre las cuatro ciudades m\u00e1s grandes de Estados Unidos. Seg\u00fan la investigaci\u00f3n de la Universidad de Chicago, mientras que en general la tasa de homicidios se ha reducido a la mitad desde la epidemia de crack en los a\u00f1os noventa, en algunas zonas pobres de la ciudad, en realidad, hay m\u00e1s homicidios hoy de los que hab\u00eda entonces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chicago fue elegida como el epicentro de las drogas para Estados Unidos por parte del Cartel de Sinaloa por su ubicaci\u00f3n clave, dijo Bloomberg: \u201cdonde las carreteras y las l\u00edneas f\u00e9rreas convergen y se expanden hacia todo el Midwest\u201d. Donde Guzm\u00e1n antes depend\u00eda de l\u00edderes pandilleros locales, ahora cuenta con operativos de alto rango de su cartel, estacionados permanentemente en Chicago, seg\u00fan el detective jubilado y vicepresidente de la Chicago Crime Commission, Art Bilek. El desempleo y la falta de educaci\u00f3n tambi\u00e9n han proporcionado una fuente de peque\u00f1os vendedores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Advertencias sobre los carteles latinoamericanos tomando el control al interior de Estados Unidos siempre deben ser vistas con cierta cautela, ya que muchos informes sobre el desborde de la violencia<\/a> y la invasi\u00f3n de los grupos mexicanos han sido desacreditados<\/a>. Alejandro Hope, analista de seguridad y ex funcionario de inteligencia mexicano, dijo a Bloomberg: \u201cEs m\u00e1s f\u00e1cil vender la necesidad de un aumento en su presupuesto si se habla de mexicanos malos, que si presenta una compleja red de pandillas\u201d. Funcionarios de la fuerza p\u00fablica entrevistados por el Washington Post a principios de este a\u00f1o tambi\u00e9n hablaron sobre la exageraci\u00f3n de la amenazas como una forma de aumentar los presupuestos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Si bien es cierto que Sinaloa est\u00e1 operando en Chicago y abasteciendo el mercado, una relaci\u00f3n de causalidad directa entre la presencia y los m\u00e9todos del grupo y la tasa de homicidios de la ciudad es mucho menos clara.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" El control del Cartel de Sinaloa sobre el mercado de las drogas de Chicago est\u00e1 impulsando la tasa de homicidios de la ciudad, seg\u00fan un informe de prensa, aunque en realidad a\u00fan no es clara esta relaci\u00f3n causal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":38562,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_ads_suppress_ads":false,"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_sponsor_sponsorship_scope":"","newspack_sponsor_native_byline_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_native_category_display":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_style":"inherit","newspack_sponsor_underwriter_placement":"inherit","_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_newspack_byline_active":false,"_newspack_byline":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[334],"tags":[396,452],"newspack_spnsrs_tax":[],"coauthors":[3813],"class_list":["post-5909","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-noticias-del-dia","tag-cartel-de-sinaloa","tag-homicidios","entry"],"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/cartel-de-sinaloa-alimenta-homicidios-en-chicago-informe\/","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Cartel de Sinaloa alimenta homicidios en Chicago: Informe","url":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/cartel-de-sinaloa-alimenta-homicidios-en-chicago-informe\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/noticias\/noticias-del-dia\/cartel-de-sinaloa-alimenta-homicidios-en-chicago-informe\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/es-a8e10ca6e0635947805723abd75b0bbb.jpg?resize=150%2C150&quality=100&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/es-a8e10ca6e0635947805723abd75b0bbb.jpg?fit=280%2C183&quality=100&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Noticias del d\u00eda","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Miriam Wells"}],"creator":["Miriam Wells"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"InSight Crime","logo":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/logo.png"},"keywords":["cartel de sinaloa","homicidios"],"dateCreated":"2017-03-27T23:56:05Z","datePublished":"2017-03-27T23:56:05Z","dateModified":"2023-04-24T20:33:25Z"},"rendered":"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/insightcrime.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":336888,"url":"https:\/\/insightcrime.org\/es\/investigaciones\/5-modelos-control-criminal-mercados-fentanilo-norte-mexico\/","url_meta":{"origin":5909,"position":0},"title":"5 modelos de control criminal sobre los mercados de fentanilo en el norte de M\u00e9xico","author":"Victoria Dittmar","date":"18 Mar 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"En varias regiones de M\u00e9xico, los mercados locales de drogas no funcionan solo por la l\u00f3gica de la oferta y la demanda.
