Torture & Executions - Damaso's Rebuttal to los Chapitos

Longtime associate - turned rival, Damaso López Serrano, alias “Mini Lic”, paints a scathing portrait of Sinaloa Cartel leader Ivan Archivaldo Guzman as a sadistic torturer who preys on police officers and federal agents as if they were rival cartel members.

He claims that Ivan has ordered the execution of his own men, even the most loyal among them, out of a paranoia that his men might reveal details about him to federal agents in interrogations.

On May 15, 2023, Damaso sent a letter to media outlets which details a litany of executions that were ordered by Ivan and his brothers - collectively known as los Chapitos.

Damaso's letter acts as rebuttal to a communication that los Chapitos released earlier this month which refuted specific parts of the US indictment and alleged they were being unjustly persecuted by the US government. This series aims to match up each Chapitos claim with the corresponding rebuttal from Damaso, and then review any corroborating evidence.
