The U.S. Treasury Department on June 9 sanctioned two sons of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán and several members of their network, accusing the group of trafficking fentanyl, laundering money, and fueling violence through the Sinaloa Cartel’s Los Chapitos faction.
The sanctions, announced by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), target Archivaldo Iván Guzmán Salazar and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, according to a June 9 Treasury Department statement. Both men remain fugitives and are described by U.S. officials as senior leaders of the cartel’s Los Chapitos wing, which is alleged to be responsible for manufacturing and distributing large volumes of fentanyl throughout the United States.
