 "Ivan" for Borderland Beat 

In September 2018, Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar was included in the top ten most wanted criminals.

At the end of last year, the U.S. government reinforced its offensive with rewards of 5 million dollars to find "Los Chapitos", a group that was accused of being behind the shooting in Topilejo, but only one of them is on the list of the ten most wanted fugitives by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).

He is Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, alias "Alfredillo," who in September 2018 was included in the ten most wanted criminals, among which are important figures in Mexican drug trafficking such as Rafael Caro Quinto; Ismael Zambada García, "El Mayo"; and Michoacan-born Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, "El Mencho."

Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, considered one of the main leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel and a key element" of that drug trafficking group, is wanted by a District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on charges of conspiracy to possess and attempt to distribute controlled substances, as well as conspiracy to import and export controlled substances for distribution in the United States.

DEA investigations indicate that "Alfredillo" coordinated cocaine, marijuana and heroin shipments to the United States for the Sinaloa Cartel between 2004 and 2005, for which he has an arrest warrant issued in 2009.

The proceeds were allegedly laundered in Mexico and distributed to allies of the Sinaloa Cartel, which was led by his father, Joaquín Guzmán Loera. Guzmán Salazar is not facing any charges in Mexico.

In December last year, the four best-known sons of former Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera, imprisoned in a maximum security prison in Colorado, United States, were targeted by US authorities: Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar, alias "El Chapito"; Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, "El Alfredillo"; Ovidio Guzmán López, alias "Ratón". 

The State Department announced rewards of five million dollars for each of them, totaling 20 million dollars.

"Alfredillo" is one of the two sons of "El Chapo" kidnapped on August 15, 2016 by an armed commando at the "La Leche" restaurant in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.

In June 2012 he was allegedly mistaken for Felix Beltran Leon and presented by the Secretariat of the Navy (Semar) as the son of "El Chapo", he is included in a joint indictment in which the names of 17 capos appear.

Guzmán Salazar is the son of María Alejandrina Salazar Hernández, the first wife of "El Chapo Guzmán," and brother of Iván Archibaldo Guzmán Salazar, alias "El Chapito," who had already been arrested by the Attorney General's Office (PGR) and later released by a federal judge.
