El Chapo's sons were once mocked as entitled princelings, yet the brothers have resuscitated a drug empire and diversified the business by embracing a new line of synthetic drugs.
In January 2017, days after Mexico extradited notorious drug trafficker Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán to the US, local police in his home state of Sinaloa came under attack.
El Chapo's sons say they are not in charge of the Sinaloa cartel and claim they have nothing to do with the fentanyl trade.
Sons of ex-cartel boss "El Chapo" asserted they have not "produced or commercialized" fentanyl in a letter sent to a television news program.
The sons of Guzmán said "we have never produced, manufactured or commercialized fentanyl nor any of its derivatives," the letter said.
