Cartel kingpins, families buried in lavish gravesites - Laredo Morning Times
In a private cemetery in Sinaloa, the Jardines de Humaya (Humaya Gardens), the remains of many drug lords rest surrounded by symbols of their former welfare and power, like weapons, jewels, luxury trucks and several floors high mausoleums with air... These grave sites, which Financial Times reported cost up to $150,000 to create, permanently enshrine the wealth and notoriety of slain kingpins belonging to the Sinaloa cartel. Vice reported some of the elaborate tombs can run north of $400,000. In 2010, shortly after Sinaloa cartel capo Arturo Beltran Leyva was killed in a shootout with Mexican marines, the decapitated head of a food worker was left at his lavish grave... "Many of these tombs belong to men in their 20s and 30s," Fusion reporter Jasmine Garsd wrote of her trip to the narco-famed cemetery. Get a glimpse of some of Mexico's most lavish final resting places famed by drug lords and cartel capos in the slideshow above followed by 12 things to know about the Sinaloa cartel.
