CNN —Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of the former Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, is set to appear in federal court in Chicago Tuesday, just days after he was taken into American custody in a stunning arrest full of international betrayal and intrigue.
The court appearance comes after Guzmán López, 38, and Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, the cartel’s alleged co-founder, were arrested Thursday by US authorities in El Paso, Texas.
US law enforcement officials told CNN the arrest came after Guzmán López duped Zambada and orchestrated their arrest.
“Joaquín Guzmán López forcibly kidnapped my client.
Details on the operation were also highly restricted within the US government until Zambada and Guzmán López were taken into custody, the source said.
