According to local news outlets, police officers detained Guzman and associates but released them almost immediately.
Aureliano Guzman Araujo is the son of Aureliano “El Guano” Guzman Loera, an alleged drug lord with a $5 million bounty placed by the U.S. El Guano is the brother of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel who is currently serving life in a U.S. prison.
This week, the U.S. government also announced $5 million bounties on four of El Chapo’s sons on drug charges. The four suspects are cousins of the younger Aureliano. One of those wanted by the U.S., Ovidio Guzman, is the drug lord Mexican authorities arrested in 2019 but then released under orders from President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
