The US has announced a reward of up to $5 million each for information that would lead to the capture of four Mexican drug lords, including the brother of notorious trafficker &quot;El Chapo.&quot;</p>
<p>
The four operate under the Sinaloa Cartel, which &quot;El Chapo&quot; headed until his imprisonment. Apart from his brother Aureliano Guzman Loera, the three others belong to the Salgueiro Nevarez family.</p>
<p>
The four have been &quot;charged in US indictments for violation of US drug laws, to include international conspiracies to distribute marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl,&quot; State Department Ned Price said in a statement.</p>
<p>
The highly dangerous synthetic opioid fentanyl is &quot;responsible for more than 63 percent of the 96,779 drug overdose deaths in the United States between March 2020 and 2021,&quot; Price pointed out.</p>
<p>
El Chapo was extradited in 2017 to the United States where he was sentenced to life in prison two years later in a trial held under high security.</p>
<p>
The United States and Mexico have been working together to fight drug trafficking under the Merida Initiativ over the last decade but the menace still continues.&nbsp;</p>
<p>
Mexico has registered more 300,000 murders linked to drug cartel rivalry.&nbsp; The government has been forced to deploy the army to control the drug menace.</p>
