They revealed that their client, Ovidio Guzmán López, has health issues and requires consistent medications that were not specified. He also needs to eat a special diet.

His defense team demanded that Guzmán be provided with the necessary medication because he recently had stomach surgery. In addition, he suffers from anxiety and depression. Therefore, he is vulnerable in this situation in terms of his health. More details are expected in the next few hours.

Ovidio Guzmán is transferred to a Mexican prison where his father was detained

In the midst of a powerful security operation in Mexico City, Mexican authorities sent a convoy of eight vehicles from the Organized Crimes unit that left around 5:30 p.m. to transport El Chapo’s son to prison, according to EFE Agency.

Ovidio Guzmán’s arrest occurred at dawn and led to various blockades, armed attacks and cars set on fire in Culiacán, which is the capitol of Sinaloa, in the northwest part of the country. After his capture, the Armed Forces transferred El Ratón to the Mexican capital and handed him over to the federal Public Ministry agents to determine his legal status.

Ovidio’s arrest has caused days of chaos in Culiacán

Ovidio’s arrest has caused days of chaos and violence in Culiacán. There were some 19 blockades with vehicles set on fire and armed attacks, including an attack on the city’s airport and air base number 10.

In addition, all entry points to Culiacán were closed, four of them from Los Mochis and two more at the exit to Costa Rica, Sinaloa. School and government activities in Sinaloa were also canceled and the public was asked to remain in their homes to protect their safety.

El Chapo’s son was arrested four days before Biden’s visit

The Sinaloan authorities reported that, as the hours have passed, the 19 blockades, with vehicles set on fire, robberies and looting, have been decreasing in intensity. In addition, they specified that, so far, there have been 28 injuries and one National Guard agent killed, along with more than 200 stolen cars and some twenty businesses were looted.

The new operation to capture El Chapo’s son was surprising because it occurred four days before US President Joe Biden’s visit, for the North American Leaders’ Summit, which will also be attended by the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau.
