Kang Chol-Yong, assistant to the Minister of Finance, providing information to Kim Jong Un, indicating the Sinaloa Cartel’s worth. According to reports, the Cartel is worth over $26 Billion Dollars, grossing over $300 Million a year. The financial information presented to Kim Jong Un instantly prompted him to authorize asylum for El Chapo.
A meeting with the Minister of Land and Marine Transportation as well as the Cabinet Political Bureau was set up to discuss how North Korea will successfully get El Chapo into the country. According to the reporter, “Kim Jong Un smiled and said to the ministers that North Korea will have the resources needed to develop it’s infrastructure and military weapons program.”
Recent reports have indicated North Korea’s economy is struggling, which has lead to famine, poor building structures, and other economic impacts. With North Korea being known for its involvement in drug trafficking, including large ships of heroin and methamphetamine, it’s to no surprise that North Korean officials would seek to offer El Chapo asylum.
