国际英语新闻:Mexico's attorney general leading search for kidnapped son of "El Chapo"
MEXICO CITY, Aug. 18 (Xinhua) -- Mexico's attorney general will lead the investigation into the kidnapping of the son of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, which took place on Aug. 15 in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco.
In a statement on Thursday, the attorney general said its specialized office for investigations into organized crime (SEIDO) would take over from the attorney general of Jalisco to track the whereabouts of Alfredo Guzman Salazer, son of the Sinaloa cartel leader, and five others.
The six men were taken away by seven men, armed with rifles, in the early morning of Aug. 15 from the "La Leche" restaurant.
The Jalisco attorney general ruled that this mass kidnapping was linked to a growing turf war between the Sinaloa Cartel and the Jalisco New Generation cartel, both operating in and around Puerto Vallarta.
"On Thursday, the state attorney general will turn over to... SEIDO all items linked to the investigation, including evidence, secured vehicles, cellphones and other objects," read the statement.
Guzman Salazar, known as "Alfredillo", is one of the four sons that "El Chapo" had with his first wife, whom he married in 1977.
Charges were filed against Guzman Salazar at a federal court in Chicago in 2009 for being a logistical coordinator of drug shipments by the Sinaloa cartel to the U.S..
