Moreno Cartel

Backstory- The Moreno cartel was founded in the year 2018 by Santiago and Antonio Moreno. Santiago and Antonio had started working as smugglers for a small somewhat known cartel in southern Mexico who would help the Colombians deliver the drugs via the Mexican Gulf from the year 2007 to 2018. For more than a decade the two brothers helped a Cartel in southern Mexico grow in so many ways from power in controlling most of the gulf and becoming a very rich Cartel. Once Santiago saw what they helped build he got it into his head that him and his brother could run something way bigger than what they had already built in Mexico he wanted to expand and grow 10 times bigger, but he knew that it would cause a lot of problems. He needed to ensure that he would have business partners and allies that would have his back in case of war. So, Antonio suggested that they would work close with the Venezuelans and Colombians to ensure that they would be supplied at all times since it was them that had the key routs to move all of the drugs that were making everyone so much money. So between the year 2017 and 2018 Santiago and Antonio made every move they could make sure that they could make it 100 percent possible before they cut ties with their current boss. As they had imagined when they finally decided to bring everything to the light. War erupted and it was a very bloody war.

The Cartel de Los Morenos lost a lot of men before they could even grow but they had made amazing connections with some of the most powerful cartels in the world. Antonio was the one that would travel and make connections from Asia, Europe and both South and North America. Antonio was making big moves for the organization the year 2019 was a very big year for them they made millions of dollars and gained a lot of land they expanded from most of southern Mexico to the northern states. The state that they chose as state of operations was Durango, the state that saw their birth. Once they established themselves in that state, they began to talk about having more operations in the USA. They had connections up there where people would buy their drugs but they needed more than that now they wanted to wash millions and millions of dollars, Antonio decided to reach out to their younger brother, Ramon who most of his life he had spend working with the cartels in the North. Around that time in 2019 Ramon had moved to Las Venturas where he was working with The Sindacco Crime Family who was still operating out of Las Venturas even though for most of the world it had seemed as if they were not a thing anymore.

They owned a couple of casinos and businesses under other names, and Ramon was lucky working for them. He was one of the top security guards for the leader of the family. Ramon managed to secure a meeting for Antonio with Stefano Sindacco the long lost son of Paulie Sindacco who took charge after his fathers death. He had completely changed the ways of the family. After that meeting The Sindacoo began to wash The Morenos millions in no time. Both families where profiting very well from this and with the Morenos still running about 90 percent of the drug smuggling from Mexico into the USA and also having about 50 percent of the drug routs from Colombia to Europe and Asia alongside with the Colombian Cartel, the money just kept coming. So with more money came more problems they had to much money to wash at this time. In 2021 Santiago began to worry because the FEDs where closing in on them and they had to come up with a way to throw them of their tail
