Find out who are the 10 most wanted traffickers in the world

As you know, about a month ago, El Chapo Guzmán, the world's most wanted trafficker, was captured and arrested. However, that does not mean that the authorities no longer have criminals to hunt! Nathaniel Janowitz of Vice Portal spoke with the DEA, the US Government's anti-drug agency, and found out who the 10 most wanted drug dealers on the planet are. See below:

1 - Ismael Zambada García

Organization: Sinaloa Cartel

Country: Mexico

Also known by the nickname "El Mayo", Ismael is a legendary figure in Mexican drug trafficking and is dedicated to marketing a wide variety of narcotics such as marijuana, heroin, methamphetamine and cocaine. Although authorities estimate the trafficker to be around 60, they say he never spent a day in prison. Several members of his family have been arrested in recent years, but El Mayo remains at large.

2 - Rafael Dear Quintero

Organization: Sinaloa Cartel

Country: Mexico

Quintero is one of the founders of the Sinaloa cartel and was arrested during a police operation in the 1980s. At the time, the trafficker was sentenced to 40 years in prison, but in 2013 he was released due to technical detail in the process.

The problem is that by the time a new warrant was issued to put Quintero back behind bars, the dealer had already disappeared. Many believe he is back in business, and the US drug enforcement agency DEA currently offers a $ 5 million reward for information leading to the capture of the Mexican.

3 - Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes

Organization: Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación

Country: Mexico

Nicknamed “El Mencho, ” Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes is the best-known boss of Jalisco Nueva Generación 's Cártel, the fastest-growing cartel in Mexico today, just behind Sinaloa, with which the CJNG allegedly maintains an alliance.

With "El Chapo" occupying much of the drug-related headlines last year, "El Mencho" has garnered little media attention - despite organizing several attacks on police forces and even shooting down a military helicopter. But with Guzmán's recent arrest, the hunt for Nemesio has resumed, and several cartel members, as well as the trafficker's brother and son, have already been arrested.

4 - José Adán Salazar Umaña

Organization: Texis

Country: El Salvador

It's impossible to expect a good thing from someone nicknamed “Chepe Diablo”, right? However, they say that José Adán encourages his collaborators to avoid carrying weapons, but to get the support of corrupt police officers so that they can work more safely and safely.

But in addition to engaging in drug trafficking, Chepe Diablo also raises cattle, owns a hotel chain and was the head of El Salvador's first football division. This means that the big boss has many important friends in the country, which allows him to perform his activities without much problem.

5 - Dario Antonio Úsuga

Organization: Clan Úsuga

Country: Colombia

Dario Antonio Úsuga, also known by the nickname "Otoniel", is the leader of the largest Colombian cartel, and the US Government currently offers a $ 5 million reward for information leading to his arrest. The trafficker's organization is located near the Panama border, and from there Otoniel runs operations related to the production and marketing of cocaine, extortion and human trafficking.

According to the authorities, Clan Úsuga (or Los Urabeños) has 2, 000 active members, and there are indications that the cartel accepts much of the payment for cocaine in arms. Moreover, with the organization gaining more and more power in Colombia - through violent conflicts with rival cartels - both the country's police and military forces intensified clan fighting and even launched air strikes against the group.

6 - Gerson Gálvez Calle

Organization: Barrio King

Country: Peru

Also known as “Caracol, ” Gerson Gálvez Calle is Peru's wanted criminal country, and appears on Interpol's black list. According to the authorities, the trafficker's biggest wish is to turn his organization - Barrio King - into Peru's first cartel, and to be able to compete as equals with Mexico's biggest traffickers.

Caracol spent up to 12 years in prison - after being convicted of drug trafficking, assault and attempted murder - and is said to have controlled the activities of his jail organization. However, he was released last year and has disappeared, and suspicions are that he is in Ecuador or ... guess what? Here in Brazil.

7 - Wei Hsueh-Kang

Organization: Wa Nationalist Movement

Country: Burma

The angry-faced man in the picture above is called Wei Hsueh-Kang and commands an army of an estimated 30, 000 armed men. They form a rebel force called the Wa Nationalist Movement, which controls a vast drug-producing region known as the Golden Triangle.

International authorities believe the group, in addition to being a major methamphetamine producer, is the main heroin trafficker in South Asia - and possibly the world. Hsueh-Kang is 63 years old and has been in court since the 1990s, and the US Government is willing to pay a $ 2 million reward to anyone who gives clues that lead to the capture of the criminal.

8 - Haji Lal Jan Ishaqzai

Organization: Unidentified

Country: Afghanistan

Between the 1980s and 1990s, Ishaqzai - of whom we do not have a picture - became Afghanistan's largest heroin producer and, being a close friend of Ahmed Wali Karzai, the brother of former President Hamid Karzai, succeeded escape the authorities for years.

The Afghan became one of the world's most wanted traffickers and was arrested in 2012. However, Ishaqzai managed to escape two years later, after paying bribes that added $ 14 million to the jail officials where he was. Since then he's been on the run - and has returned to the DEA list.

9 - Rocco Morabito

Organization: 'Ndrangheta

Country: Italy

Morabito is one of the great bosses of 'Ndrangheta, one of Italy's most powerful mafia organizations. Drug trafficking is one of the group's most profitable activities - with an estimated 60, 000 members worldwide - so it is no wonder that 'Ndrangheta maintains close ties with Latin American cartels.

Morabito's current whereabouts are unknown, but it is rumored that he may have come to live here in Brazil - from where he maintains contact with the South American cartels and facilitates the sending of drugs to Europe.

10 - Semion Mogilevich

Organization: Bratva

Country: Russia

In fact, Semion Mogilevich is of Ukrainian rather than Russian origin, but at present he would be the chief of the "Bratva" chiefs, that is, of the organized crime groups that emerged in the Soviet Union in the late 1980s. Mogilevich is considered the most dangerous mobster in the world by the FBI, and drug trafficking is just one of the many illegal activities he runs.

In 2008 Mogilevich was arrested in the best Al Capone style, that is, for tax evasion, but was released a year later. That was when the perpetrator entered the list of the most wanted Americans in the world, but since the US has no extradition treaty with the Russians, it was temporarily dropped. The bad tongues say that the big boss is a little friend of Vladimir Putin and that he lives free, light and loose in Russia.
