Ivan Archivaldo Guzmán-Salazar is a high-ranking member of the Sinaloa Cartel and the son of former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín Guzmán-Loera. Law enforcement investigations indicate Guzmán-Salazar, along with his brother, Jesus Alfredo Guzmán-Salazar, provided significant operational assistance to their father, including coordinating the transport of narcotics from Central and South America to Mexico; coordinating the transport of narcotics into the United States; distributing drugs to wholesale customers in the United States; and collecting drug proceeds from customers in the United States for transfer to Mexico for the benefit of Sinaloa Cartel members and associates. To protect their organization, their tactics have included obtaining guns and other weapons, bribing corrupt public officials, engaging in violence and threats of violence, kidnapping, and intimidating members of law enforcement, rival drug traffickers, and members of their own drug trafficking organizations.
After the arrest and subsequent extradition of their father and his conviction in the Eastern District of New York (EDNY), the Guzmán-Salazar brothers have increased their power within the Sinaloa Cartel. They have expanded their enterprise with sophisticated fentanyl laboratories in Culiacán, Mexico, and expanded their transportation operations utilizing maritime and air transportation in addition to tunnels and border crossings.
On July 25, 2014, Ivan Archivaldo Guzmán-Salazar was indicted by a federal grand jury in the Southern District of California. The indictment charged him and others with violations of Title 21, U.S.C. §§ 952, 960, 963 (conspiracy to import methamphetamine, cocaine, and marijuana) and Title 18 U.S.C. Section 1956 (h) (conspiracy to launder monetary instruments). The indictment also included forfeiture provisions.
