He later joined the JuĂĄrez Letrero and worked for Amado Cheek. , until the disappearance of Carrillo in 1997.
While GuzmĂĄn was in prison, Esparragoza assisted him in supporting his business. And, after GuzmĂĄn escaped from prison in 2001, Esparragoza became one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, which also includes Zambada. He was the central link in the family ties between the groups and was frequently chosen as an intermediary in their confrontations. Esparragoza married GuzmĂĄn’s sister-in-law and was godfather to the son of Amado Carrillo Fuentes and the son of Ismael Zambada’s children. One of his sons is married to one of the daughters of BeltrĂĄn Leyva.
