Hated by many, admired by some and feared by others, these are the great Mexican bosses who through criminal activities have achieved fortunes and dream lives, but behind the doors of their homes they are like any other person and the diseases they suffer are proof of this, making them vulnerable, since health has been the Achilles heel for a few of them.
Their own bodies have taken a toll on them, ultimately leading a life in hiding is not something easy, despite having a fortune available to deal with every adverse situation that arises, which is why illnesses have been present in several of the bosses with greater international renown.
This is proven with statements, records and visits to hospitals, as discussed by various Mexican media such as Milenio, which has detailed the diseases that some drug traffickers suffer or suffered and that are not restrictive to the elderly, since young people also suffer from them. .
The bosses of the extinct Guadalajara Cartel
It was recently reported that Rafael Caro Quintero He was transferred to a hospital, and although the reason was not reported, it is known that “El Narco de Narcos” has prostate problems, which could lead to cancer, which is why journalist Anabel Hernández said that in the years he was a fugitive of justice he thought about turning himself in to the authorities, since his health was failing.
Another member of the extinct Guadalajara Cartel, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, has shown serious health problems that have caused his defense lawyers to request house arrest. “The Chief of Chiefs” is 77 years old and has 22 illnesses, including left deafness, diabetes, esophagitis, latent pulmonary tuberculosis, glaucoma, facial carcinoma, hypertension, herniated disc; as well as mental illnesses: chronic anxiety and depression.
Ernesto Fonseca Carrillo He is considered the third founder of the Guadalajara Cartel, like his companions he fell before justice and age has taken its toll on him, as he has several illnesses, according to his daughter Yoanna Carrillo. “Don Neto” suffers, among other diseases, colon cancer, rheumatism, hiatal hernia, hypertension, partial paralysis of the right arm, and is almost blind.
Sinaloa cartel under the shadow of the disease
Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán He founded, along with two other bosses, the Sinaloa Cartel, the largest criminal organization in the world today, which made him a priority objective of justice. He entered and escaped from prison on several occasions, until he was extradited to In the United States, where he is serving a life sentence, that boss who seemed unbreakable suffers from gastritis and high blood pressure.
His lawyers have made it known that isolation has reduced his state of physical and mental health. “I suffer from headaches, memory loss, muscle cramps, stress and depression,” he said in a letter. He also suffers from dysautonomia, a nerve dysfunction that can be fatal and affects both the heart and the brain.
Your son, Ovidio Guzmanwho was recently extradited to the United States, also suffers from gastrointestinal health problems, which makes him require a special diet, and it was also reported that he suffers from depression and anxiety, for which he is undergoing medical treatment.
Another of the founders of the Sinaloa Cartel, Hector “El Güero” Palma He is in very poor health, has been in prison for several years and has been released twice, but immediately returned to prison. The man who has a tragic family history suffers from various conditions ranging from hemorrhoids, poor vision, hip and prostate problems, missing teeth and even an inguinal hernia.
The CJNG is also stalked by the disease
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantesbetter known as “El Mencho” is the leader and founder of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the priority objectives of justice, although he seems untraceable.
