Officials believe that a son of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán Loera kidnapped rival cartel leader Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada García and delivered him to US federal agents. However, the Guzman family's lawyer has denied these allegations, stating that El Chapo's son did not kidnap Zambada. This statement, made by the defense attorney on Tuesday, comes amid rumors and reports that Guzman's son had betrayed Zambada to the United States. In response to the situation, Mexican President López Obrador has demanded that Washington provide clarity on the arrests of the two cartel leaders. Meanwhile, El Chapo's son has pleaded not guilty to several charges in the United States.
