The state is just as corrupt. As Casas-Zamora states "98% of crimes go unpunished". Crimes are levied and prosecuted at all levels (local, state, national). 98% of crimes unpunished means that the institution does absolutely nothing against these criminal networks. thus, all the rhetoric by politicians, on both sides, and the few military operations you do hear about, where a kingpin is taken down or killed, are the only window dressing they have for their campaign.
