El Chapo's Sons Fed Enemies To Tigers, Tortured Them With Chillies And Corkscrews: Report

The indictment released by the US Justice Department details the brutal methods of torture used by the cartel to extend power and intimidate enemies.

The sons of notorious drug lord Joaquin ''El Chapo'' Guzman and their cartel associates allegedly used corkscrews, electrocution and hot chiles to torture their rivals, according to an indictment recently released by the US Justice Department. Some of their enemies have also allegedly been ''fed dead or alive to tigers.''

As per a report by CBS News, Ovidio Guzman Lopez, Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar and Ivan Archivaldo Guzman Salazar --known as the Chapitos, or little Chapos, were among 28 Sinaloa cartel members charged last week in connection to a widespread fentanyl trafficking operation. 

The indictment also details the barbaric methods of torture and executions used by the cartel to extend power and intimidate enemies.

"Once the information was obtained by these captives, typically through torture, these individuals were killed either by or at the direction of the Chapitos themselves and the bodies disposed of throughout the area. While many of these victims were shot, others were fed dead or alive to tigers" belonging to Ivan and Alfredo'', the indictment says.
