From Torture to Testimony : Ivan And Jesus Reportedly Working On Deal With USA

from Plastic Paddy · host Steven Ellis

Los Chapitos were once seen as the untouchable next generation of the Sinaloa Cartel — heirs to El Chapo’s empire who built a ruthless network fueled by fentanyl, fear, and extreme violence. But now, with reports of cooperation and plea negotiations swirling around Iván Archivaldo and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán, the entire cartel landscape could be shifting. In this episode, we break down the federal indictments, allegations of torture and executions laid out by U.S. prosecutors, the brutal tactics investigators say were used to maintain power, and what a potential deal with the U.S. government could mean for the future of the Sinaloa Cartel, Mexico’s political system, and the escalating cartel war tearing through Culiacán.
