As of March 2026, El Chapo Isidro (Fausto Isidro Meza Flores) remains at large in Mexico, leading the Meza-Flores Organization and flooding the US with record levels of fentanyl, meth, and cocaine—more than any other active cartel boss, according to Mexican security sources.
Added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list on February 4, 2025, with a $5 million reward, he's evaded capture for over 14 years by staying low-profile and neutral in the Sinaloa wars.
Following El Mencho's death on February 22, 2026, Isidro has emerged as a "big winner," expanding his Guasave-based empire amid CJNG chaos and Chapitos-Mayiza infighting.

Emma Coronel was released from federal custody in late 2023 after completing her sentence and meeting the conditions set by the court. Since her release, she has largely stayed out of the spotlight, with only limited public appearances and carefully controlled media contact. According to available records, she remains under supervised release, which places restrictions on her activities and movements. For now, her post-prison life appears markedly quieter than before—less visible, more restrained, and shaped by legal oversight rather than public attention.
