Two individuals who provided reports to the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) within the Sinaloa Cartel, and who cooperated in the prosecution of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's sons, were allegedly murdered in Mexico.
According to information gathered by Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, the two individuals were assisting in the investigation into the "Los Chapitos" network, against which the US Department of Justice unsealed a criminal indictment in New York in April 2023 for fentanyl trafficking.
In a letter, Grassley last week questioned Deputy U.S. Attorney General Lisa Monaco for giving preference in 2022 to preparing the DEA-backed indictment in New York against "Los Chapitos" and setting aside indictments in other judicial districts that were already ready.
"My office received credible information that other federal agencies attempted to indict Los Chapitos for fentanyl distribution, but your office directed prosecutorial teams not to do so in order to give preference to the DEA (indictment)," Grassley said in his letter dated Aug. 21.
