Ovidio Guzmán López, the son of former Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, has been extradited from Mexico to the United States to face drug trafficking charges. The extradition is part of the US Justice Department's efforts to combat the cartel's operations. Guzmán López, also known as "the Mouse," was captured in January, leading to violent clashes in Culiacan. The indictment against Guzmán and his brothers, known as the "Chapitos," revealed their involvement in the production and sale of synthetic drugs like fentanyl, with the goal of producing large quantities at low prices. Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador denies fentanyl production in Mexico and blames drug addiction in the US on a deterioration of family values.
