Sandra Ávila Beltrán
Sandra Ávila Beltrán, better known as "The Queen of the Pacific", became in a very short time one of the most powerful women in drug trafficking in Mexico.

BIOGRAPHY
He was born in Mexicali, Baja California (Mexico) on October 11, 1960, to his parents, María Luisa Beltrán Félix, and Alfonso Ávila Quintero, founder of the Guadalajara Cartel. Ávila Beltrán, about whom a myth of stories has been woven, wanted to be a journalist. At the age of 18 he enrolled in the Faculty of Communication Sciences of the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, which at that time, in the early eighties, had just been inaugurated.
The "bad company"
For those who know Sandra Ávila, they know that an incident defines her true role in the drug business. In 2007 she was arrested in a restaurant in San Jerónimo, in the Mexico City, after being identified by the authorities as one of the operators of one of the leaders of the Sinaloa cartel, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. "The Queen of the Pacific" was accused of organized crime, crimes against health in its form of promotion and operations with resources of illicit origin.
He married twice
"The Queen of the Pacific" was married twice, the first to Luis Fuentes Jiménez, who was commander of the Federal Judicial Police of Sinaloa.
Her second marriage was with Rodolfo “El Zurdo” López Amavizca, commander of the National Institute for the fight against drugs.
Both marriages of Sandra Ávila Beltrán ended with the death of her partners, as both were murdered after they became involved in drug trafficking businesses.
The Queen goes to prison
In 2009 he faced coca trafficking charges. She was extradited to the United States in August 2012 to serve a 70-month prison sentence. But in June of that same year, a court granted her extradition so that she could face pending charges in the United States, where prosecutors alleged that she also had ties to cocaine seizures in Chicago. Mexico and her defense argued unsuccessfully that this meant that she should not be extradited.
The Queen goes free
US prosecutors said she helped store and move drug shipments from Mexico to the United States. In 2015 she was released. The release of the so-called "Queen of the Pacific" was ordered by a judge, who revoked the sentence that had begun in September 2014 in a prison in the western state of Nayarit, after deciding in favor of Ávila an appeal filed by his lawyers.
