Mexico's attorney general's office announced it will seek the arrest of a son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán , accused of allegedly kidnapping drug trafficker Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada , 76, founder of the Sinaloa cartel along with "Chapo" Guzmán, who is serving a life sentence in the United States, to hand him over to the United States. The agency also said it had identified the runway from which the private plane that Joaquín Guzmán López , one of the so-called " chapitos ," and Zambada took off on July 25 for New Mexico, United States, where they were captured by federal agents. "The request for an arrest warrant for kidnapping and also for the illegal deprivation of liberty of a person in the national territory to hand him over to the authorities of another country is already prepared," the attorney general's office said, without providing details on the location of the runway.

The governments of Mexico and the United States deny having planned the operation that ended with the arrest of "El Mayo". The announcements of the Mexican Attorney's Office give credence to Zambada's version, spread through his lawyer, according to which he was kidnapped and handed over by Guzmán Lòpez during a meeting to which he had invited him to mediate in a conflict between the governor of Sinaloa Rubén Rocha and the elected representative Héctor Cuén . Rocha, co-supporter of Mexican President Lòpez Obrador , denies any complicity with the drug kingpins and assures that on the day of the events he was in Los Angeles, United States. According to "El Mayo", for which Washington offered 15 million dollars, the representative Cuén was killed at the meeting place, near the city of Culiacán, capital of Sinaloa. The Attorney General's Office also said it had located "the property where the probable crimes of illegal deprivation of liberty, murder, injuries and acts related to forced disappearance". Likewise, he again denied the version of the Sinaloa Prosecutor's Office according to which Cuén was murdered at a gas station in Culiacán during an alleged robbery attempt. In the letter in which he reported his kidnapping, Zambada claimed to have gone to the site with four bodyguards, including an alleged missing Sinaloa police chief. Governor Rocha confirmed on Monday that ten people were killed last weekend in connection with the capture of "El Mayo", after which 600 soldiers were deployed to strengthen security in Culiacán, in addition to the 400 sent days earlier.
