Last month, Mexican police arrested the son of El Chapo. The Sinaloa Cartel turned the city of Culiacán into a war zone, demanding his release. And the Mexican government gave in without a fight.

Apple's recent investment of $2.5 billion is a good example of the way American cartels use their wealth to buy influence & power over American governments.
