Mexico extradited the son of Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the United States to face narcotics charges,
Ovidio Guzman Lopez, also known as “El Raton” or “The Mouse,” was indicted earlier this year on drug trafficking charges linked to the fentanyl crisis plaguing the United States.
“The Justice Department will continue to hold accountable those responsible for fueling the opioid epidemic that has devastated too many communities across the country.”The White House also lauded the extradition as part of “ongoing cooperation” with Mexico, a sign the administration of President Joe Biden is eager to get past the friction with Mexico over anti narcotics efforts.
After Guzman’s conviction, several of his sons, collectively known as “the Little Chapos,” inherited control of the Sinaloa Cartel, US authorities said.The operation to capture the younger Guzman resulted in 29 deaths, including 10 military personnel and 19 alleged criminals in clashes and mayhem as cartel members tried to free him.
