Cartel training

Almonte gave a training seminar for a group of 350 law enforcement officers throughout the Valley in Mesa on Thursday, titled “Patron Saints of the Mexican Drug Underworld” to provide officers with information drug cartels use in hiding behind saints or religious beliefs to facilitate criminal activity. The statue in the background is Saint Muerte (Saint of Death), one of many saints that members of Mexican drug cartels believe will protect them from law enforcement or death. Photo by Mike Sakal
