The world of organized crime employs various strategies to recruit new members. One example is through social media or video games, where they recruit young people to join organizations such as the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) or the Sinaloa Cartel.

The state of Jalisco is in turmoil after the cases of Carlos, Alexander, and Axel, young men between the ages of 16 and 24, were reported missing in the West but were found dead in Sinaloa.

Federal Government investigations have uncovered at least 39 social media accounts offering false job offers to lure victims and take them to the Teuchitlán training camp, where they had to endure various violent activities to secure an important position within the organization.

The videos are illustrated with songs related to organized crime and images appealing to young people. Research has even revealed that they have even been used in video games like Roblox and FreeFire to attract younger users.
