Mexico: 8 Arrested for Aiding Guzman's Escape

  • 9 years ago
Mexican authorities arrested eight persons who aided the escape of the world's top drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, from a high security prison in July. The accomplices include Guzman's brother-in-law and lawyer and a pilot, but no high level officials. Federal Attorney General Arely Gomez vowed that efforts to capture Guzman would continue. Residents of rural villages in northern Mexico being searched by marines are demanding their withdrawal due to complaints over violence used against the civilian population. teleSUR
