Recently, the world of boxing and sports in general experienced a strong shock after the arrest of Julio César Chávez Jr. was confirmed in the United States and his subsequent deportation process for his involvement in organized crime and trafficking of firearms, ammunition, and explosives.
This issue shocked fans and close relatives of the boxer, who after his return to the ring against Jake Paul with a loss, was aiming to rejoin the discipline to try to regain his level and close his international boxing career properly.
Likewise, this event also raised doubts among other people about the relationship of the son of the legend with drug trafficking. Many began to speculate about specific connections, while others remembered the past of his partner, Frida Muñoz, who is an American citizen and was able to keep Chávez in the United States through their marriage.
What is Frida Muñoz’s relationship with the Sinaloa Cartel?
To understand this connection, we must travel back to the past when Frida Muñoz was in a relationship with the eldest son of El Chapo Guzmán, Edgar Guzmán López. This man was involved in his father’s businesses and as a result, lost his life at the age of 22 in a confrontation in Culiacán, Sinaloa.
The confrontation corresponded to the fight that the Sinaloa Cartel was having against the Beltrán Leyva.
Mentioning that this relationship has marked the life of Frida Muñoz, since not only did she have a daughter named Frida Sofía Guzmán Muñoz, but the police have closely followed her, investigating her current situation.
As an example of this is what happened in 2015, when his bank accounts were frozen as part of an investigation by the Intelligence Unit that sought to clarify the flow of money and its connection to the escape of Joaquín Guzmán from the Altiplano.
