As turf wars between the two Sinaloa Cartel factions known as "Los Chapitos" and "La Mayiza" continue and are set to enter a third month of violent conflicts, reports coming from Mexico are signaling that the clique that has remained loyal to the latter group, led by those close to Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, has received a new boost as two major criminal bosses in Tijuana pledged their allegiance to the group.
Known for being a key region in its drug trafficking business, Tijuana has been in control of the Sinaloa Cartel for years. And after months of distancing themselves from the conflict in Sinaloa, two plaza bosses known as "La Rana" and "Aquiles" are now siding with "La Mayiza" due to their family links to Zambada.
