Molina Cartel

The Molina Cartel is a powerful and violent Mexican drug cartel, considered the most notorious, powerful and bloodthirsty drug cartel in both Mexico and the USA. Brutal and feared, the Molina Cartel is known to be in a bloody war for control of drug trafficking with another powerful Mexican drug cartel, the Los Asesinos Cartel (founded and led by Ella Juanega, a Mexican drug lord and businesswoman currently based in the USA) and for being declared enemies of the Office of Special Projects Team, as the OSP was responsible for the downfall of some of the cartel's most important high-ranking members and because of this, they are the crime syndicate that fought the most against the OSP than any other criminal organization, as the OSP always confronts members of the Molina Cartel (ranging from foot soldiers to cartel leaders), always arresting them or killing them puts an end to the cartel's heinous crimes.
== Biography ==
=== Pre-Series ===
Although very little is known about the Molina Cartel prior to the events of Sacrifice, it is known that the Cartel was founded between the late 70s and early 80s by the Molina brothers, Carlos, Diego and Arturo Molina (father of Alex Molina, the future head of the Molina Cartel) and that due to its firepower and willingness to violence, the Molina Cartel would become the most powerful drug cartel in Mexico.
It is also known that they were involved in a bloody drug war in Mexico with another powerful drug cartel, the Los Trece Reyes Cartel, led by the bloodthirsty Carlos Gutierrez, one of Mexico's most feared drug lords and who led the Los Trece Reyes Cartel with an iron fist for several years until he was killed by the Molina Cartel's hitmen in a bloody shootout.
What the heads of the Molina Cartel little knew was that Gutierrez left a widow, Ella Juanega, and his death awakened in her an unprecedented mortal hatred against the Molina Cartel for the death of her beloved husband, which would lead Juanega to join the members of the Los Trece Reyes Cartel who were in the service of her late husband, consequently founding her own drug cartel, the Los Asesinos Cartel and declaring war against the Molina Cartel and its leaders, which ends up leading to a bloodier drug war than had previously occurred between the Molina Cartel and the Los Trece Reyes Cartel.
