Euskaraz irakurri: Gutxienez 29 pertsona hil dira Mexikon, “El Chapo” Guzmanen semea atxilotu osteko istiluetan
The Government of Mexico has confirmed the death of at least 29 people after the arrest of Ovid Guzman, son of drug trafficker Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, in Sinaloa. The Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has denied this Friday that the United States has participated in the arrest of Ovidio Guzmán, and that the capture is related to the visit of Joe Biden.
At a press conference, the Secretary General of Defence, Luis Cresencio Sandoval González, confirmed the death of ten soldiers and 19 others “breakers of the law” in reference to the armed men who tried to prevent the recapture of Guzman.
Ovidio Guzmán, who according to the Mexican government is leader of the Los Menores faction, related to the Sinaloa Cartel, was arrested Thursday in Culiacán (in the state of Sinaloa), in an operation that degenerated into a campaign battle throughout the city. In the course of the police operation, another 21 people were arrested, which ended with no civilian casualties to regret, according to Sandoval González.
In addition, the Mexican Executive has warned that the extradition to the United States of Ovidio Guzmán, it will be slow, since he also faces criminal charges in Mexico. The United States, which submitted the extradition request in 2019, accuses the drug trafficker of crimes that deal with the conspiracy to introduce drugs into that country, Rodríguez has detailed.
