The Mexican judiciary has granted Ovidio Guzmán López, the drug trafficker son of Sinaloa Cartel leader Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, a new provisional suspension that temporarily halts his extradition to the United States.
The head of a specialized section of the Amparo and Federal Trials area has granted the precautionary measure for Ovidio Guzmán, leader of a faction of the Sinaloa Cartel known as Los Chapitos, one of the aliases by which the son of ‘El Chapo’ is known.
Thus, Mexican authorities have planned for Ovidio Guzmán to continue to be held in the Altiplano maximum security prison and at the disposal of the judge in charge of the case, thus avoiding his extradition to the United States, where he is wanted for fentanyl trafficking.
A week ago, a Mexican court provisionally suspended Ovidio Guzmán’s extradition to the United States after he was arrested a few days earlier in an operation that left around thirty people dead.
This decision of the Mexican justice system comes just one day after the famous drug trafficker ‘El Chapo’ asked the authorities to be transferred from the United States to a prison in Mexican territory. Mexico City has promised to «analyze» the request.
