Also means
cartel
Usage Note
Cartel means a promotional poster or sign (el cartel del concierto) and also a criminal syndicate or drug cartel (el cártel de Medellín) — note the written accent in the criminal sense is optional but increasingly common. The two senses are entirely context-dependent; in everyday speech the poster sense is more frequent.
Examples
"Pegaron el cartel en la pared del instituto."
Natural Translation
They put up the poster on the school wall.
