Mexican security forces captured the US-wanted nephew of drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in the border state of Sonora, authorities said Tuesday.
Omar Garcia Harfuch, secretary of security, said on X that the suspect is the “nephew of ‘El Chapo,'” the former leader of the Sinaloa cartel now serving a life sentence in US prison.
He said the nephew is also wanted by the United States.
Though authorities identified the suspect only as Isai “N,” Mexican media identified the suspect as Isai Martinez Zepeda.
