'El Chapo' sons charged with taking over Sinaloa cartel
The sons of convicted drug kingpin Joaquin"El Chapo" Guzman Loera are among 28 members of Mexico's powerful Sinaloa cartel who have been indicted in Chicago, as part of a sweeping fentanyl trafficking investigation.
On Friday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the charges against El Chapo's sons, as well as other cartel leaders, alleged chemical suppliers, lab managers, fentanyl traffickers, security leaders, financiers and weapons traffickers. Nearly 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in the U.S. in 2021. The Drug Enforcement Administration says most the fentanyl trafficked in the United States comes from the Sinaloa cartel.
Eight of those charged in Friday's case have been arrested and remain in custody of law enforcement officials outside of the U.S. The U.S. government is offering rewards for several others charged in the case. Ovidio Guzmán López and his brother Joaquín Guzmán López allegedly helped moved the Sinaloa cartel hard into methamphetamines, producing prodigious quantities in large labs. They were previously indicted in 2018 in Washington on drug trafficking charges.
