✅ I can produce a detailed, well-researched article about Los Narcoabogados — the role of lawyers in Mexican drug cartels — drawing from Ricardo Ravelo’s known journalistic work and public sources.

Overview

Ravelo poses a philosophical question in the book: Is it better to have corrupt legal professionals or no professionals at all? He argues that the capture of narco-lawyers is often more damaging to cartels than the capture of sicario leaders. When a hitman is arrested, another is hired within a week. When a lead lawyer is arrested, the cartel loses its institutional memory—the knowledge of where the safe houses are, where the offshore accounts are held, and which judges are friendly.
