According to a recently revealed indictment by the U.S. Justice Department, the sons of infamous drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and their cartel colleagues tortured their competitors with corkscrews, electrocution, and hot chilies while feeding some of their victims “dead or alive to tigers.”
According to the indictment from the Southern District of New York, captives — including rival traffickers and officials who threatened the cartel’s operations — were taken to a ranch belonging to Ivan Salazar, where they would be tortured. The gang would test their drugs on captives and coax information out of them before ultimately killing them. Rivals of the cartel and government officials who refused to cooperate would be fed dead or alive to tigers belonging to the Salazar brothers that they kept at their ranch as pets. “You can go walking across the street in the Sinaloa and there are black bags with bodies left on the street,” said the source. “You go to school with your son in the morning, you both see these bags and you both know there are bodies in them. Nobody says anything. Everyone knows what they mean. The message that those bags send is, ‘Don’t cause trouble for us or this will happen to you.’”

Through a process called “cleaning,” as described in the indictment, Los Chapitos and their ninis would bring violence to areas of Mexico where they wanted to take over control of the drug trade.
Those leading the Sinaloa cartel, including Joaquin Guzman Lopez, 36, Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, 37, and Ivan Guzman Salazar, 40, are still at large.
Ovidio Guzman Lopez, their 33-year-old brother, is already imprisoned after being taken into custody on January 5 in a gunfight that left at least 29 people dead.
The cartel hitmen, Garland said, also “fed some of their victims dead and alive to two tigers belonging to the Chapitos.”
