d. Defendants, along with other members and associates of the Enterprise,

Structure of the Enterprise
The Sinaloa Cartel is based in Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico, but operates in the
Mexican state of Chihuahua, the Wester Distict of Texas, and other states in Mexico and the
United States.
: . The primary purpose of the Sinaloa Cartel is to smuggle large quantities of
cocaine and marijuana, as well as other drugs, into the United States and distribute them to
various destination cities in the United States. The Carel's success is achieved by securing,
mai
taining and regulating transportation routes for drugs and drug proceeds between Mexico
. and the United States. In order to secure and maintain these lucrative "corridors," the members
and associates of the Sinaloa Cartel commit acts of violence.
7 The Sinaloa Cartel comprises members of the JOAQUIN "Chapo" GUZMAN
LOERA and the Drug Traffcking Organizations
(DTO). Regional lieutenants, and their cell members, oversee drug smuggling and money
laundering activities, and employ
a
nd direct groups including the Gente Nueva ("New People")

and the gangs known as Artistas Asesinos ("Murder Artists", aka Los Doble A's, Doblados,
(A, and the "Mexicles", to engage in violent activities in 'rtherance of the objectives of the
Enterprise. Each of the Defendants participated in the operation and management of the
Enterprise. The enforcement operations for the Sinaloa Cartel generally ae. carried out by teams
of assassins, known in Spanish as sicarios. Their enforcement activities include gathering
information or intelligence about competing drug organizations, including the Juarez Cartel lead
by Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, and its enforcement an , known as La Linea and the Bario Aztecas;
enforcing discipline among the members of or persons working on behalf of the Sinaloa Cartel,
such as those who could or would not account for lost loads of controlled substances or other acts
of perceived disloyalty; and committing acts of violence against competitors and errant catel
members though such means as kidnaping, torture, and murder of the responsible person or his
or her family members. Ofen, the murders involve extreme violence and a public display of the
victim, including mutilation and dismembenent of body parts in some ritualistic or symbolic
, ,
./
fashion and the display of banners bearing written warings, known as a "narco manta" or
"narco pinta."
The proceeds generated by trafficking in cocaine and marijuana are retured to the
Sinaloa Cartel through vaious methods of money laundering. That money is then used by
leadership in the Sinaloa Cartel to pay its members and associates; to reinvest in the acquisition,
production, and traficking of drugs; to invest in the Enterprise by purchasing assets and
properties related to the daily fnction of the Sinaola Cartel, to include fireans, ammunition,
bullet-proof vests, radios; telephones, unifons, and vehicles.
