The Treasury Department explained that Guzmán López is in “close collaboration” with the “drug trafficking empire” of ‘Los Chapitos’, who were sanctioned by Washington on previous occasions.

Along with Guzmán López, three important members of the drug trafficking network that worries the United States were also reprimanded.
On the one hand, they hit Raymundo Pérez Uribe, who is the leader of a supply network that supplies the Sinaloa Cartel with the chemical products necessary to carry out the manufacture of synthetic drugs.
