FBI adds ‘El Chapo’ Isidro, an old enemy of ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, to its most wanted list
US authorities are offering a $5 million reward for information about the veteran drug lord. Some reports say he is waiting for the right moment to re-emerge and take back leadership in Sinaloa, where a bloody cartel war is being waged
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Tuesday added the Mexican drug trafficker Fausto Isidro Meza Flores, “El Chapo Isidro,” to its list of the 10 most wanted fugitives. El Chapo Isidro, 42, is accused by American authorities of being the leader of a transnational organization responsible for trafficking and importing large quantities of heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, fentanyl and marijuana into the U.S. In Mexico, El Chapo Isidro is an old acquaintance. A drug lord during the time of the Beltrán Leyva group, and an enemy of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán for decades, he is also considered one of the warlords in Sinaloa, which has been the scene of an internal battle between factions of the cartel for almost five months now.
