For several months, various outlets, including The Latin Times, have reported on an alliance between the Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG) and the Sinaloa Cartel faction known as Los Chapitos, led by Iván Archivaldo Guzmán, the son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
Despite video evidence from several months ago showing CJNG members standing in formation and wielding high-powered rifles in the small town of Cacalotán, in southern Sinaloa, the Mexican government continues to officially deny the existence of an alliance between the two cartels.
