Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán’s Son Pleads Guilty in Landmark Fentanyl Trafficking Case
One of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán’s sons, a prominent leader among the notorious “Chapitos” faction, has pleaded guilty to federal charges. The plea agreement includes a commitment to cooperate with U.S. authorities, a move expected to help him avoid a life sentence.
This significant development targets what then-Attorney General Merrick Garland previously described in 2023 as “the largest, most violent and most prolific fentanyl-trafficking operation in the world.” The “Chapitos” were accused of violently seizing control of their father’s cartel operations, orchestrating a vast and brutal illicit drug network. Further details surrounding the terms of the plea and the scope of his cooperation are anticipated as the legal proceedings continue.
