The South Pacific Cartel (Spanish: Cártel del Pacífico Sur) is a Mexican organized crime group composed of the remnants of the Beltrán-Leyva Cartel.[1] It is based in the Mexican state of Morelos. The gang has been significantly less active since mid-2011[2] when the group's leaders Julio de Jesus Radilla Hernandez and Victor Valdez were captured.[3]
