Drug trafficking organizations are constantly coming up with new ways to recruit members to their illicit enterprises. From fake job postings to propaganda shared on social media, criminal groups mostly target young people online as they lure them to join their ranks.
The latest move by the Sinaloa cartel is focused on recruiting through videogames. That is what happened to a 14 year-old teen from Oaxaca, who was approached by cartel members trough the game Free Fire, a free-to-play battle royale game developed for mobile devices.
