The sons of notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and their cartel associates used corkscrews, electrocution and hot chiles to torture their rivals while some of their victims were "fed dead or alive to tigers," according to an indictment recently released by the U.S. Justice Department.
The three Guzman sons charged — Ovidio Guzmán López, Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar and Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Sálazar, known as the Chapitos, or little Chapos — were among 28 Sinaloa cartel members charged in a massive fentanyl-trafficking investigation announced last week.
While the DOJ accused the members of running "the largest, most violent and most prolific fentanyl trafficking operation in the world," it also detailed the brutal methods of torture and executions used by the cartel to extend power and intimidate enemies.
