Who is Joaquin Guzman Lopez, arrested along with the "May" Zambada?

He is Joaquin Guzman Lopez

Joaquín Guzmán López was the least known of the heirs of “El Chapo.” According to the United States Department of Justice, he is accused of drug trafficking in cocaine, methamphetamine and marijuana.

Guzmán López, like his brother Ovidio Guzmán López, began his career in drug trafficking at an early age, after inheriting the power of his brother Édgar Guzmán López, who was murdered on May 8, 2008, at the age of 22, in a shopping center in Culiacán, Sinaloa.

Joaquín Guzmán López, alias “El Güero”, “Moreno” and/or “Güero Moreno”, is one of the four children that “El Chapo” Guzmán had with Griselda López: Ovidio, Griselda Guadalupe and Edgar (murdered in 2008).

Ovidio Guzmán was arrested for the second time by Mexican authorities in 2023.

According to U.S. authorities, Ovidio and Joaquín Guzmán López held high-ranking command and control positions within their own drug trafficking organization—the Guzmán López Transnational Criminal Organization—under the Sinaloa Cartel.

It was after the death of Edgar, his brother, that Ovidio and Joaquin inherited a large amount of the profits derived from narcotics and began investing large amounts of that cash in the purchase of marijuana in Mexico and cocaine in Colombia.

They also began purchasing large quantities of ephedrine from Argentina and arranged for the product to be smuggled into Mexico while they began experimenting with methamphetamine production.
