The eldest of the Guzmán brothers fled from the authorities as the Chapo did so many times. For years, the drug trafficker, sentenced to life imprisonment in the US, used a network of tunnels in Culiacán, connected to the tubs of the bathrooms of their houses. It was difficult to catch him, because, in addition, El Chapo sent to install armored doors everywhere.

In the case of Iván Archivaldo, the tunnel of the house he fled at the end of February, in Culiacán, he left behind the sink. The older brother fled through the tunnel and his trail was lost. In those days, the authorities announced the arrest of two collaborators of the alleged drug trafficker, for which the US government offers a reward of 10 million dollars.

Of the four Guzmán brothers who are supposedly dedicated to drug trafficking, only these two, Iván Archivaldo and Jesús Alfredo, are still free. The little one, Ovid, is imprisoned in the US and has just reached an agreement to declare himself guilty with the authorities of that country. In the last hours, in addition, videos have begun to circulate about the alleged delivery of Ovid relatives to US security agencies, supposedly as part of this agreement.
