The Colima Cartel (Spanish: Cártel de Colima) was a Mexican drug trafficking and methamphetamine producing cartel operating in Guadalajara, Jalisco. It was founded and led by José de Jesús Amezcua Contreras and supported by his brothers Adán and Luis.[1]
The Colima Cartel is believed to have obtained large quantities of the precursor ephedrine through contacts in Thailand and India,[2] and then distributed it to different methamphetamine labs in Mexico and the United States.[3]
The Colima cartel has become a branch of the Sinaloa Cartel as are the Milenio Cartel, Guadalajara Cartel, and Sonora Cartels.[4]
