The Kinahan Cartel And The 500 Million Dollar Load (10/15/25)
Authorities announced the interception of a $500 million cocaine shipment in a massive maritime bust that law enforcement officials described as one of the largest in recent U.S. history. The seizure, conducted through a joint operation between the Department of Justice, the Coast Guard, and Homeland Security, recovered roughly 45,000 pounds of cocaine during an 11-day operation across multiple Caribbean and Pacific corridors. The drugs were traced back to sophisticated international trafficking networks operating through South and Central America. While early speculation in European press tied the shipment to the Kinahan cartel—given their global reputation and past coordination with Latin American suppliers—U.S. authorities primarily attributed the load to the Jalisco New Generation (CJNG) and Sinaloa cartels.
