U.S. Posts $10 Million Reward for Tips on 'Los Chapitos' Leader Iván Archivaldo Guzmán

The public bounty signals stepped-up U.S. pressure on the Sinaloa Cartel’s Los Chapitos faction.

Overview

  • ICE, which reiterated the bounty Tuesday, is offering up to $10 million for information that leads to the arrest or conviction of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar.
  • U.S. authorities say he remains at large and should be considered armed and dangerous.
  • The reward is supported by the State Department’s reward program and the Drug Enforcement Administration.
  • ICE identifies Guzmán Salazar as a leader of Los Chapitos, the Sinaloa Cartel faction run by sons of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, and accuses him of drug and weapons trafficking through transnational networks.
  • ICE lists his last known location as Culiacán, Sinaloa, and urges the public to submit tips through secure, anonymous channels rather than intervene.
