The Mexican Navy saved notorious druglord El Chapo Guzman's son from assassination as five hitmen from a rival gang hunted him down.
Ovidio Guzmán-López, 32, alleged to be a leader of his father's former cartel, was captured in Culiacán and flown to Mexico City on Thursday.
The state of Sinaloa is now being described as an 'active warzone' as the authorities clash with gangs, but the Navy actually once saved their prisoner's life.
A recently uncovered report states that the Navy was close to Ovidio Guzman for more than two years, and that they even prevented his assassination in Mexico City in October 2021.
