When it comes to criminals involved in drugs and money laundering, two of the biggest names are Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and Pablo Escobar. But criminal empires aren't exclusive to men.

Mexico's attorney general is offering rewards for information leading to the arrests of eight women linked to multiple crimes.
