Jose Angel Canobio

Jose Angel Canobio, also known as 'Gerito', is a significant figure within the Sinaloa drug cartel, reportedly serving as the chief of security for Ivan Archivaldo Guzman, the son of infamous drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman. Recently, he was arrested in Culiacan, Mexico, marking a substantial blow to the Sinaloa cartel, especially following the U.S. government’s designation of the group as a foreign terrorist organization. Canobio was previously convicted in absentia by a federal court in Chicago for alleged fentanyl trafficking, further highlighting his role in the cartel's operations amid growing international pressure to combat drug trafficking.
