The indictment goes on to allege that El Chapo's sons used electrocution and waterboarding to torture members of rival drug cartels as well as associates who refused to pay debts.
The sons of notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman and their cartel associates used corkscrews, electrocution and hot chiles to torture their rivals while some of their victims were "fed dead or alive to tigers," according to an indictment recently released by the U.S. Justice Department.
"Once 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.
"For approximately two hours, members of the Ninis tortured Victim-5 by inserting a corkscrew into Victim 5's muscles, ripping it out of his muscles, and placing hot chiles in his open wounds and nose" before being shot dead by Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Sálazar, the indictment alleges. The victim and his fellow slain officer were then dumped near a motel off of a highway near the ranch, federal prosecutors said.
