Top 7 Most Dangerous Women Of Crime
Sure - criminal masterminds may invoke images of shadowy men, hidden behind cloaks in the
darkness - but let's be serious.
The stereotypical image of a criminal isn't the most representative.
Throughout time, women have proven they can be exactly as criminally inclined as their
male counterparts - and just like in nature - the matriarchal instinct can be used to
a powerful adverse effect when incorporated into some devious behavior.
From reformed traffickers to the scariest syndicate leaders - let's take a look at seven
of the most dangerous female criminals the world has even seen.
Number seven - Sandra Ávila Beltrán.
As a child born into a family with drug cartel ties on both sides, Sandra Ávila Beltrán
- commonly dubbed "The Queen of the Pacific" by the media, was destined for a life of crime
from the very beginning.
Herself a Mexican drug cartel leader, her past is sordid and colorful - including two
husbands (both former police commanders come drug traffickers) assassinated in the same
manner by hired mercenaries.
Her stealthy criminal activity went unnoticed by the DEA, only coming to their attention
after she approached authorities for help to retrieve her son who was kidnapped on a
five million ransom.
After spending eight years behind bars, she is once again free to enjoy her estimated
one billion dollar fortune.
Number six - Claudia Ochoa Felix.
Known as the "Mexican Kim Kardashian" due to both her appearance AND social media presence,
this 28 year old fashionista-lookalike certainly has more bite to her bark than you'd first
realize.
Reportedly taking over Los Ántrax, a hit squad with the sole purpose of carrying out
executions on behalf of the Sinaloa cartel.
This mother of three first gained notoriety when the Mexican media falsely reported that
she had been tortured and assassinated.
Capitalizing on the reporting error, she quickly amassed hundreds of thousands of followers
on social media, posting provacative and questionable photographs exemplifying her luxurious lifestyle,
money and weaponry.
Although not charged as of yet, it's reported investigations into her mysteriously criminal
life are pending.
Number five - Anna Gristina.
Although not a dangerous killer or violent individual, Anna Gristina - a mother of four
commonly referred to as the "Millionaire Madame" or the "Soccer Mom Madame" - may have more
danger lurking below the surface than it appears.
After being arrested in 2012 on prostitution charges (her case detail involved her running
an escort / call girl brothel on the Upper East side), she claimed to have detailed client
accounts of all of her customers - including famous individuals like Charlie Sheen and
a string of professional football players.
Using the leveraged information to her benefit, she is currently working on a dating website,
her own book and is attempting to pitch scripts about her life to get a motion picture made.
Number four - Anna Chapman.
This real life Bond girl was arrested in 2010 as one of ten Russian sleeper agents sent
to The United States as a mean to gain access to national intelligence.
Using her gorgeous looks and sexuality, her prowess was the tool used to gain confidential
intel and to influence targets.
After being sent back to Russia as part of a prisoner swap deal with the USA, she became
internationally known as a femme fatale - even reaching celebrity status in her homeland
as the cover girl to Maxim magazine Russia.
Although she plead guilty to a conspiracy charge, it's unclear how successful her information
gathering actually was.
Now enjoying a lush and comfortable celebrity life back home, this 34 year old vixen is
proof you can't judge a book by its cover.
Number three - Lynette Fromme.
Also known as "squeaky" by the media and followers, this terrifying woman first made headlines
as one of Charles Manson''s closest associates and confidants.
Although she played no part in the notorious Tate-LaBianca murders of 1969, she DID pull
a gun on then President Gerald Ford in 1975.
After the secret service successfully blocked her attack she was sentenced to life in prison
- managing to escape in 1987 with the intentions of visiting the also incarcerated Manson.
She was recaptured and remained behind bars until being granted parole in 2009.
Although not much is known about her current affairs, her story is the subject of the musical
Assassins and was even parodied multiple times on Saturday Night Live.
Number two - Thelma Wright.
Although now a reformed grandmother - this Philadelphia native is no one to mess with.
Widow of Jackie Wright, a majorly prominent player in Philadelphia drug rings - her rise
to power came after his murder in 1986.
Becoming known as the "gangster queen of Philly", her speciality was cocaine and heroin trafficking
to and from Los Angeles, taking over the business to support herself and her young child - reportedly
making over $400,000 a month in profit.
Surprisingly never getting arrested, she left the drug world behind in 1991 to make some
positive changes.
Her 2011 memoir, "With Eyes From Both Sides - Living My Life In And Out Of The Game" details
her experiences in the world of crime, while we can't help but wonder how much fortune
she's TRULY amassed.
Number one - Maria Licciardi.
This calm, cool, collected and rarely seen crime boss takes our top spot- not just because
of her impressively cold demeanor, but for the fact that she continues to front a major
criminal organization behind bars.
As the undisputed boss of the Camorra clan and former leader of the group - her Naples
roots weave a tightly knit rope into the fibers of Italian crime.
Referred to as "La Madrina", or The Godmother - her short stature and ruthless leadership
were key factors to the Camorra clans system for profitting from underaged prostitution
and human trafficking.
Since her peaceful arrest in 2001, she continues to command the syndicate from her cell - proving
that sometimes even the most dangerous criminals can be locked away - but never silenced.
