Guzman relative says 'El Chapo' son released in Mexico

Guzman relative says 'El Chapo' son released in Mexico

21 Aug 2016


The son of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has been released following his abduction earlier this week from a Mexico bar, a member of the Sinaloa cartel leader's family said.

Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar, 29, was freed along with the five other men with whom he was kidnapped, a relative who requested anonymity for security reasons told AFP.

"They were negotiating all this time, but now are free and well," the source said, adding that some of the captured men were already back in Sinaloa state.

Guzman Salazar -- one of Guzman's sons from his first marriage -- was attending a celebration early Mond
ay at a restaurant and bar in the resort city of Puerto Vallarta when gunmen in pick-up trucks swooped in and kidnapped five of his six companions.
