The criminal group which calls itself "The New Alliance" (La Nueva Alianza) has opened a YouTube channel where it is also sometimes identified as "Los Chapo-Zetas Levantados." La Tribuna reported that one of the members of the new criminal group is one of the founders of the Sinaloa drug cartel.

Guzman’s Sinaloa drug cartel, named after his home state, smuggles cocaine from Colombia through Mexico to the United States. Sinaloa is responsible for a major portion of cocaine, heroin and marijuana sold in the streets of the United States.

"El Chapo" Guzman was extradited to the United States in January, to face a sentence of life in prison for operating a criminal drug organization and being involved in other drug-related crimes in New York.
