The Justice Department on Friday announced charges against more than two dozen defendants, including three sons of the notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, in a sprawling fentanyl-trafficking investigation. Attorney General Merrick Garland announced the charges at a news conference in Washington, alongside Drug Enforcement Administration Administrator Anne Milgram and other top federal prosecutors.
“Death and destruction are central to their criminal operation,” Milgram said. “To dominate the federal supply chain, the Chapitos kill, kidnap and torture anyone who gets in the way.” “In Mexico, they fed their enemies alive to tigers,” Milgram said, “electrocuted them, waterboarded them and shot them at close range with a 50-caliber machine gun.” Milgram also said El Chapo’s sons “inherited a global drug-trafficking empire and they made it more ruthless, more violent, more deadly.
