Armando Valencia Cornelio
Armando Valencia Cornelio, also known as 'El Maradona', was a prominent Mexican drug lord and a key figure in the Los Valencia cartel, which was heavily involved in the drug trade in Mexico during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Born in Michoacán, he played a significant role in the cartel's operations and was known for his strong alliance with the Sinaloa cartel. His influence waned after his death in 2010, which led to a power vacuum that contributed to the rise of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) under the leadership of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as 'El Mencho'. Valencia's legacy continues to shape the dynamics of the Mexican drug trade.
