The Auction of Infamy: A Landmark Plot in Mexico's Narco Wars The Mexican government is auctioning off a plot of land where notorious cartel leader El Mencho was killed, sparking questions about its motivations and priorities.
On February 9, El Mencho met his demise during a clash with Mexican army special forces at the country club where the property is located.
The sale of this land for $750,000 appears to be a routine transaction, but its history reflects the complex and often blurred lines between law enforcement and cartels.
