Behind Los Chapitos: the women in the lives of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel leaders

The situation in Sinaloa, with winds hinting at an impending war within factions of organized crime, and the recent arrests of El Mayo Zambada and the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera, has sparked significant curiosity about the people surrounding these notorious drug lords. Notably, there is interest about the women in their lives.

Despite considerable secrecy surrounding those close to the most infamous narcos, a few names have surfaced, especially in the case of "Los Chapitos," the group led by El Chapo's sons within the Sinaloa Cartel. While it's estimated that Guzmán Loera has 12 or 13 children, four of them are publicly involved in the drug trafficking business. They are Iván Archivaldo, Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, and Joaquín and Ovidio Guzmán López.
