Leer en español: ¿Volverán a capturar a Ovidio Guzmán?
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday in his morning conference that the government will try to capture Chapo's son, Ovidio Guzmán. This time, however, they would do so without endangering the population and in case a warrant was issued.
In recent days, AMLO surprised the international community by releasing alias 'ratón', the son of renowned drug trafficker Chapo Guzmán. The National Guard was reduced to the attack of criminal forces that wanted to avoid the capture of their leader, so Alfonso Durazo, Secretary of Security, decided to suspend the operation and leave Guzman free.
