Mexico issues arrest warrant for Joaquín Guzmán López over kidnapping of Sinaloa Cartel leader ‘El Mayo’ Zambada

Joaquín Guzmán López, one of the sons of Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, is the main suspect in the kidnapping that led to the capture of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada on U.S. soil in July, the Mexico Federal Attorney General’s Office (FGR) announced Wednesday. The FGR stated that an arrest warrant has been issued against Guzmán López for the crimes of kidnapping and treason. In an unexpected twist, the Federal Public Prosecutor’s Office gave credibility to a letter published by El Mayo regarding his arrest and the murder of Héctor Cuén, a Sinaloa politician for the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) while dismissing the version of events provided by state authorities regarding the homicide. “The Prosecutor’s Office itself located the property where the probable crimes of illegal deprivation of liberty, homicides, injuries, and acts linked to forced disappearance were carried out, in which the aggression that led to the death of Hector ‘N’ [Cuén] is linked,” the prosecutor’s office said in a statement.
