Mexico to bring charges against capo, not for drugs, but for turning over another drug lord to US
The strange saga of how two Mexican drug lords were detained after landing in a plane in the United States in July just got stranger. The Mexican government now says it intends to bring charges against Joaquín Guzmán López, but not because he was a leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel founded by his father, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Instead, Mexican prosecutors are bringing charges against the younger Guzmán for apparently kidnapping an older drug boss from a rival faction of the cartel, forcing him onto the plane and flying to an airport near El Paso, Texas, to turn himself in.
