It not yet clear whether Ovidio will be extradited to the United States like his father, who is serving a life sentence at Colorado's Supermax, the most secure US federal prison.
MEXICO CITY, Mexico – Mexican security forces captured on Thursday, January 5, drug cartel leader Ovidio Guzman, a son of jailed kingpinComing three years after a failed operation to detain Ovidio ended in humiliation for the government of President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, the arrest triggered a wave of violence that forced authorities to shutter airports and schools in the city of Culiacan.
The city’s airport was caught up in the violence, with Mexican airline Aeromexico saying one of its planes had been hit by gunfire ahead of a scheduled flight to Mexico City. No one was hurt, it said. The United States had offered a $5 million reward for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Ovidio.
“The detention of Ovidio is finally the culmination of something that was planned three years ago,” he said.
