English term

drug kingpin

English to French Law/Patents Law (general)
"The arrest and extradition of drug kingpin Francisco ... to the United States marked a serious blow to the drug cartels."

S'agit-il simplement d'un synonyme de "drug lord" et "drug baron" ou ce terme a-t-il une connotation particulière?
Proposed translations (French)
3 leader, ponte, cerveau
3 +2 "Un gros bonnet de la drogue"...

Selected

leader, ponte, cerveau

Pour moi il s'agit du cerveau/leader d'un réseau de drogue. Je pense que le terme vient de l'organisation triangulaire d'un jeu de bowling. Kingpin=quille principale, la première du triangle.
