Armando Carrillo

Armando Carrillo, also known as 'El Señor de los Cielos', was a prominent figure in the Mexican drug trade during the late 20th century. He was the leader of the Juárez Cartel, which became notorious for its role in the trafficking of cocaine into the United States. Carrillo was known for his use of aircraft to transport drugs, which earned him the nickname 'The Lord of the Skies.' He collaborated with various other drug lords, including Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, and played a significant role in the evolution of the Mexican drug trafficking landscape. His operations contributed to the rise of the Juárez Cartel as one of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations in Mexico before his death in 1997.
