TL;DR Summary

The four sons of El Chapo, known as Los Chapitos, are facing new charges for leading their father's drug empire and moving large quantities of fentanyl into the United States. The charges, in five related cases, also include more than two dozen other people involved in a global fentanyl manufacturing and distribution operation run by the Sinaloa cartel.

The charges also reveal the violence and terror that has wracked Mexico for years and supported the Sinaloa cartel's fentanyl business.
