Son of Sinaloa drug cartel's Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman captured
2012-06-21
The son of Mexico's most wanted man, drug Lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, has been captured, officials have claimed.

Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, 26, was detained by marines in an early morning raid in the western state of Jalisco, the Mexican Navy said in a statement.

Earlier this month the US Treasury placed financial sanctions on Guzman Salazar and several other family members.

That allowed authorities to freeze any assets they had in the US and barred Americans from doing business with them.

Guzman Salazar, who is suspected of links to drug trafficking, was taken to Mexico City amid a heavy security force presence.
