Sinaloa Nayarit Exclusive

The emissary of Los Chapitos for the meeting with representatives of the “Jardinero” from CJNG in Pachecos, Nayarit, was Alejandro López Guzmán, a 28-year-old narco-junior with significant power in the organization. 

Born in Concordia, Sinaloa, he is the son of a half-brother of Griselda López Pérez, mother of Ovidio and Joaquín Guzmán López. In other words, Alejandro is the cousin of 'El Ratón' and 'El Güero Moreno,' and a person of complete trust for Iván Archivaldo Guzmán. To the extent that he runs his own criminal organization... 

Alejandro has dual nationality, Mexican and American, and has managed to move between countries under the authorities' radar. 

At his young age, he is in charge of cocaine shipments from South America, oversees fentanyl labs in Mérida and Puebla, and handles part of the Chapitos' money in the U.S. through investments in cryptocurrencies, the sale of exotic cars, and pawn shops in Miami and Los Angeles. His right-hand man in the U.S. is Alan Salazar, another key figure of Los Chapitos.

In Mexico, Alejandro has a security team known as Fuerzas Especiales Werito, led by 'El Polaco,' a former Blackwater mercenary. 

This group is responsible for receiving and transporting drug shipments arriving by plane from South America. His small fleet of aircraft is operated by Nicolás N., who ensures the operations run smoothly.

One of the most lucrative businesses within Alejandro's structure is the production of fentanyl in laboratories located in Merida and Puebla, managed by 'El 24.'

Los Parces, an armed group made up of former Colombian soldiers and former paramilitaries from the Clan del Golfo, protects these labs and is responsible for transporting the chemical precursors needed for production, as well as moving the finished fentanyl to Mexico City. 

From there, the drug is moved to the borders of Baja California, where Alejandro controls the crossings into the U.S. Los Parces are led by 'El 11' and 'El 22.' At 28 years old, Alejandro has managed to move from the Sierra of Sinaloa to the skyscrapers of Dubai, passing through Mexicali, Tijuana, Los Angeles, and Miami.
