Aureliano Guzman-Loera, the brother of imprisoned drug cartel boss Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, is among the sought criminal cartel leaders.

Guzman-Loera and three Salgueiro-Nevarez brothers were charged with conspiracy to smuggle marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl in the United States.

In a statement on Friday, the US State Department spokesman Ned Price said the quartet has been “charged in US indictments for violation of US drug laws, to include international conspiracies to distribute marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl.”

The highly dangerous synthetic opioid fentanyl is “responsible for more than 63 percent of the 96,779 drug overdose deaths in the United States between March 2020 and 2021,” Price added.
