Iván Archivaldo and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán López Reported in Surrender Negotiations with U.S. DOJ

Multiple outlets reported on May 11, 2026 — citing a Los Angeles Times investigation — that Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar ('El Chapito') and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, the two remaining at-large Los Chapitos leaders, were in preliminary negotiations with the U.S. Department of Justice about a possible negotiated surrender. The brothers reportedly provided intelligence to U.S. authorities that helped build a corruption case against Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya — a potential bargaining chip for reduced charges. The negotiations follow the pattern set by their brother Joaquín Guzmán López's December 2025 guilty plea and reported cooperation agreement. If confirmed, a dual surrender would represent the near-complete legal neutralization of the Los Chapitos faction that began with Ovidio's 2023 arrest.
