Violence Hits Cartel Stronghold As Mexico Nabs Son Of 'El Chapo' Before Biden Visit

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING MEXICO CITY — The sun wasn’t yet up in Culiacan when David Téllez and his family began making their way to the city’s airport for a return flight to Mexico after their vacation. It would be hours before Mexico’s defense secretary would confirm that the military had captured Ovidio Guzmán, a son of the notorious former Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, on Thursday in a pre-dawn operation north of the city. Security personnel guard the prosecutor's building where Ovidio Guzmán, one of the sons of former Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán, is in custody in Mexico City, on Jan. 5, 2023. AP Photo/Martin Urista At Culiacan’s airport, a Mexican military flight was able to spirit Guzmán away to Mexico City. Samuel González, who founded Mexico’s special prosecutor’s office for organized crime in the 1990s, said Guzmán’s capture was a “gift” ahead of Biden’s visit.
