Attorney General Eduardo Medina-Mora said drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman remains an emblematic figure in the Sinaloa drug cartel but he lost his leadership role while serving a 20-year sentence.
Guzman escaped in 2001, and has been on the run. Mexico is offering $2 million and the U.S. $5 million for information leading to Guzman’s arrest.
Also, a judge ordered 10 mayors and 20 other top officials from Michoacan state held pending an investigation of alleged ties to a drug cartel.
