Enedina Arellano Félix

Enedina Arellano Félix (born April 12, 1961) is a Mexican drug lord who, alongside her brothers, led the Tijuana Cartel following a series of high-profile arrests and killings of her male relatives.

• Background: She is the sister of former cartel leaders Ramón, Benjamín, and Francisco Javier Arellano Félix.
• Role in the Cartel: Unlike her brothers, Enedina has a degree in accounting, giving her a different skill set. She focused on the cartel's financial operations, handling money laundering and investing in legitimate businesses. She's often referred to as "La Jefa" (The Boss) or "La Madrina" (The Godmother).
• Leadership: After the arrests or deaths of her brothers, Enedina assumed leadership of the Arellano Félix Organization (AFO) – another name for the Tijuana Cartel – around 2008. She has since been credited with taking a less violent and more business-oriented approach.
• Strategy: Enedina is believed to have relied on alliances within the cartel and avoided open conflict with other cartels, such as the Sinaloa Cartel, to maintain the organization's operations. She focused on consolidating power, reorganizing the cartel's financial structure, and forging strategic partnerships.
• Current Status: While the Tijuana Cartel's influence has waned compared to its peak, Enedina Arellano Félix is still believed to be involved in the organization's leadership and activities. Her current status is not entirely clear but believed to be still at large.
