Okay, here’s a breakdown of the most relevant pieces of facts about the Sinaloa Cartel, specifically focusing on the factions and key figures mentioned in the provided text:
1. Factions & Leadership:
* Los Chapitos: This is a faction within the Sinaloa Cartel, currently fighting for control. They are led by Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar (alias ‘El Chapito’), son of ”El Chapo” Guzmán.
* La Mayiza: A rival faction within the Sinaloa Cartel, headed by Ismael Zambada Sicairos (alias ‘El Mayito Flaco’).
* The conflict: ”Los chapitos” and “La Mayiza” are engaged in a territorial dispute for control of the Sinaloa Cartel.
2. Key Individuals & arrests/Deaths:
* Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar (‘El Chapito’): The leader of “Los Chapitos.”
* Ismael Zambada Sicairos (‘El Mayito Flaco’): The leader of “La Mayiza.”
* Hernán Bermúdez Requena: Former Secretary of Public Security of Tabasco (appointed by adán Augusto López Hernández). He was the alleged leader of ‘La Barredora’, a criminal cell linked to both the Sinaloa Cartel and the CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel). He was recently arrested in Paraguay.
3. Criminal Groups/Cells:
* La Barredora: A criminal cell linked to Hernán Bermúdez and, importantly, to both the Sinaloa Cartel and the CJNG (Jalisco New Generation Cartel). This suggests potential alliances or a complex relationship between these groups.
4. Security & operations:
* Security Rings of ‘Los Chapitos’: These have been weakened,with four alleged security chiefs of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán either arrested or killed under the leadership of García Harfuch (presumably a law enforcement official).
* Alliance with CJNG: the text hints at a past agreement between “Los Chapitos” and the CJNG (led by “el Mencho”) where “Los Chapitos” promised something to “El Mencho” in exchange for protection.
In essence, the article paints a picture of a Sinaloa Cartel fractured into warring factions (“Los Chapitos” vs. “La Mayiza”), with a complex web of alliances (like the one with “La Barredora” and potentially the CJNG), and a law enforcement effort (led by García Harfuch) aimed at dismantling the security apparatus of “Los chapitos.”
