Who are “Los Chapitos”?
“Los Chapitos” is used to refer to the children of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. The children of “El Chapo” have been involved in criminal activities and have been the subject of media and police attention.
Among the best-known children of “El Chapo” Guzmán are Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar, Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, Edgar Guzmán López (died in 2008) and Ovidio Guzmán López.
These children have been accused of participating in illicit activities, such as drug trafficking and drug-related violence. However, It is important to note that their separate participation and responsibility in drug trafficking is not always clear.
Let us remember that In October 2019, Ovidio Guzmán López was detained by Mexican special forces in Culiacán, Sinaloa, but he was released after an armed confrontation between the military and members of the Sinaloa Cartel. This event generated great media and political attention.
