since the beginning, the plan of the government was protect the sinaloa cartel and fight against the enemies of the sinaloa cartel. >> of the seven major mexican cartels, the sinaloa cartel is considered the most powerful, with the farthest-reaching and most pervasive tentacles extending deep into every corner of government, banking and private industry. its rivals, the tijuana cartel, the gulf cartel, the juarez cartel, the beltra levia, la familia michoacana and the particularly murderous los zetas. the cartels are responsible for importing roughly three quarters of all illegal narcotics to america. in your work, you uncovered what had to be some very embarrassing

and incriminating associations and connections between very high elected officials, the presidents and entire administrations, and acts of incredible criminality. how did that change your life? >> well, when i start to make this investigation on 2005 and i really understand that it would be very dangerous. i have to say that it wasn't really a surprise for me what happened after i published my book. what i didn't expect is that the threats came from the federal government. >> anabel says that one of her sources warned her that the biggest threat was from within, that one of the most highly placed, most senior law enforcement officials in mexico had ordered her killed. >> because in my book i put his name and also showed some documents that proves that he

was involved, he was in the payroll of the sinaloa cartel. >> what happened to this man? >> right now, he's very happy drinking rum, i think, building many enterprises, fake enterprises, laundry his money. >> to me the weak link are the bankers. a banker who launders money, he's got a family, he's got a reputation, he gives money to charity, his neighbors think he's great. his kids think he's wonderful. he's got something to lose. so i wouldn't be prosecuting drug dealers. i would be prosecuting bankers. >> the name of my book is "los senores del narco" because los senores del narco are not only chapo de guzman. and the leaders of these cartels. no. los senores del narco are also the politicians and bankers and businessmen. the people have to know who are these people by name. >> you have been a journalist for how long? >> 20. 20 years. >> 20 years.

your father was killed, kidnapped and killed in 2000? >> my father was a businessman. in that year many gangs used to kidnap businessmen just for money. so when we went to the police and asked them to investigate, they said well, if you pay us, we will make the investigation. so as family, we decide to pay because you cannot buy the justice. since that, i really tried to fight against corruption. that's why i'm doing what i do, because i think that corruption is the worst problem in mexico. the drug cartels are maybe the worst face of that problem, but the problem in the deep is the corruption. the corruption is the mother of all our problems in mexico. >> it should be pointed out that 88 journalists, how many

journalists have been killed in this country? >> 90. 90 now. >> 90 journalists have now been killed or disappeared over the last few years. >> yeah. >> here you can kill a journalist and get away with it. why are you still here? >> i have lost many things in my life. my father was the most important person in my life. i already lost everything. i don't have any life anymore. i don't have a social life. i don't have a sentimental life. i don't have anything. i just have my work and my family. and my work of a journalist is everything for me. i really believe that good journalists can change the world. i have received many offers to go outside to france, to sweden and other countries. i don't want to leave. it's my choice. my choice is fight.

it's a tradition to have barbacoa. >> it's so tasty. >> all this pasillo is full of chilis. people think that mexican food has to be necessarily spicy because of the chilies we use. and we go for flavors, not for the spiciness. >> what most people miss is how really deep and really sophisticated the sauces here can be. like lyon is to france, oaxaca is to mexico, in my experience. >> you're right. also in my experience. >> not kissing your ass here. i was just in lyon. this is vicky's place. she has been cooking up traditional oaxacan dishes in the market for 30 years. >> whoa, that's awesome. cooking an egg right on -- oh, man. so the guy working the camal. first of all, a lot of the camal you see now are metal. that's old school -- super old school.
