US EditionUS Imposes Sanctions on El Chapo's Fugitive Sons, Offers $10 Million Reward for Their Capture
- On Monday, the U.S. government targeted Archivaldo and Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, fugitive sons of the incarcerated Mexican drug trafficker Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, by placing sanctions on them and offering rewards of up to $10 million each for tips that lead to their capture or prosecution.
- This action follows ongoing U.S. efforts to dismantle the Sinaloa Cartel, including a February designation as a foreign terrorist organization and prior sanctions targeting the cartel's faction known as Los Chapitos, which comprises El Chapo's sons.
- Los Chapitos are identified as major fentanyl traffickers to the U.S., with a regional network based in Mazatlan involved in drug trafficking, extortion, and money laundering; the cartel's fentanyl is linked to tens of thousands of U.S. overdose deaths annually.
- Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that the Department of the Treasury is actively carrying out President Trump’s directive to dismantle drug trafficking organizations and target dangerous figures such as the offspring of "El Chapo," highlighting the importance of disrupting their financial operations.
- The sanctions mark a continuation of U.S. strategies employing financial pressure and rewards to weaken cartel power and highlight the cartel's violent threats, including the murder of U.S. Marine veteran Nicholas Quets in October 2024 linked to cartel gunmen.
