This Owl is surprised that, now that the Netflix series about the drug trafficker Teresa Mendoza, ‘La reina del sur 3’, ‘breaks’ in ratings worldwide, the Mexican government has captured yesterday Ovidio Guzmán López, son of the sadly famous Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman Loera. The bloodthirsty boss of the Sinaloa cartel is serving a life sentence in a US prison. They arrested him in Culiacán itself, despite the fact that the “capo” had been on the “most wanted” list for years.

His arrest unleashed the violence of his henchmen, who blocked highways, confronted the Special Forces, set vehicles on fire and even shot at an Aeroméxico plane at the airport. They wanted to repeat the shameful story of 2019, when Ovidio Guzmán, alias ‘El Ratón’, was arrested in this same city and these same acts of extreme violence occurred.
This motivated the cowardly decision of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, by ordering the Special Forces to release the extremely dangerous drug trafficker!, supposedly to “stop the wave of violence in the city.” This attitude showed that the leftist president trembled like a jelly in the face of the difficult situation and showed that he was not qualified to lead the fight against the bloody drug cartels, which for decades have been responsible for tens of thousands of deaths and widespread filthy corruption. in all areas of your country.
The children of ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán were always ‘his Achilles heel’
In 2008, his conceited Edgar Guzmán López, 22, was brutally murdered with 500 shots and a bazooka shot at the exit of a supermarket, where he came to buy gifts for ‘Mother’s Day’. ‘El Moreno’, as he was called, was a ‘junior narco’ who commanded a group of hitmen in the Sinaloa cartel and died in his law, at the hands of gunmen from the Beltrán Leyva cartel, for revenge against ‘El Chapo’ ‘.
At his wake, Guzmán Loera, in hiding, sent 50,000 roses and left the mothers of Culiacán without flowers on his day. In 2016, another of his sons, Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, ‘Alfredillo’, was kidnapped when his mother was confined in a maximum security prison in Ciudad Juárez and from there she managed his organization.
However, his power began to be challenged by criminal groups that would never have dared to do so before, such as his rivals from the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel. Jesús Alfredo, ignoring the warnings, arrived in a convoy to celebrate the birthday of his older brother Iván Archibaldo, at the luxurious restaurant ‘La Leche’, in Puerto Vallarta, along with a group of friends and beautiful young women. Those who claimed the plagiarism were precisely those of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel. The specialists agreed that the gang led by ‘El Mencho’ kidnapped him to deal a severe psychological blow to Joaquín, just when there was speculation, at that time, that a movie about his life was going to be filmed anyway, produced by the actress. Kate del Castillo, ‘The Queen of the South’.
In the quick negotiations for the release of ‘Alfredillo’, the infamous boss Rafael Caro Quintero, founder together with Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo of the original Guadalajara cartel, in the 1970s, both portrayed in the notable Netflix series ‘Narcos’, intervened. Mexico’, and a character from the famous novel ‘La frontera’, by the American Don Winslow. Even Mexican government authorities, fearful that a bloody war would break out if the hostage was killed, also took part in the negotiations.
It is said that Caro threatened the chief of the kidnappers, ‘El Mencho’, telling him that if he killed Guzmán’s son, the government would take away the protection his son enjoyed in jail, so that the Sinaloans would murder him. Only then did he agree to release Alfredo Guzmán after five days, upon payment of many millions of dollars. ‘El Chapo’ has five sons left, whom he introduced into his perverse and dirty world of drugs and for whom he will have to continue paying.
