This cartel (Sinaloa cartel) also facilitates the smuggling of drugs into the United States according to the U.S Treasury Department and this is a new blow to the drug cartel as its leader, Joaquin Guzman who escaped from a prison in July 11, 2015 through a tunnel (El Chapo) was recaptured in January 8, 2016 by Mexican marines.
