Published: Sept. 16, 2023, 4 p.m.

The term "Los Chapitos" refers to the descendants of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, one of the most notorious drug lords in Mexico's history. El Chapo was the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most powerful and influential drug trafficking organizations globally. Here's a detailed summary of Los Chapitos and their roles in the world of organized crime:

  1. Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar: Iván is one of El Chapo's sons and has been deeply involved in the Sinaloa Cartel's operations. He is considered one of the key figures within the cartel. Iván has faced allegations of participating in various criminal activities, including drug trafficking, money laundering, and violence. He operates discreetly and maintains a relatively low public profile.
  2. Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar: Jesús Alfredo is another son of El Chapo and has been linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. His involvement in the cartel's activities has made him a subject of interest for law enforcement agencies. In 2016, Jesús Alfredo was kidnapped by a rival cartel, but he was eventually released, showcasing the high-stakes conflicts between rival criminal organizations in Mexico.
  3. Ovidio Guzmán López: Ovidio, also a son of El Chapo, has played a significant role in the Sinaloa Cartel. His capture by Mexican authorities in October 2019 led to a dramatic and violent confrontation between the cartel and government forces in the city of Culiacán, Sinaloa. The Mexican government ultimately released Ovidio to avoid further bloodshed, highlighting the cartel's ability to challenge the state's authority.
  4. Joaquín "El Chapito" Guzmán López: Joaquín, known as "El Chapito," is another son of El Chapo. He was arrested by Mexican authorities in June 2020 and faces drug trafficking charges. His arrest marked another blow to the Guzmán family's influence within the cartel.
Los Chapitos have inherited the criminal legacy of their father, and their involvement in various aspects of the drug trade has continued to shape the dynamics of organized crime in Mexico:
  • Drug Trafficking: Members of Los Chapitos have been heavily involved in the trafficking of illegal drugs, primarily cocaine, marijuana, and methamphetamine, from Mexico into the United States and other international markets.
  • Territorial Control: The influence of Los Chapitos extends to the control of drug trafficking routes and territories. They have engaged in violent conflicts with rival cartels, particularly the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), over territorial disputes.
  • Money Laundering: Los Chapitos are also believed to be involved in money laundering activities, facilitating the cartel's financial operations and ensuring the flow of illicit funds.
  • Violence: Their involvement in criminal activities has contributed to the escalation of violence in Mexico, leading to ongoing conflicts with rival cartels and law enforcement agencies.
