El Chapo: “I’ve got friends in high places” ~ Ovidio Guzmán

Alfonso Durazo’s son, currently in charge of the Secretariat of Citizen Security and Protection, shared classrooms several years ago with Ovidio Guzmán, one of the heirs and offspring of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, journalist Lourdes Mendoza revealed exclusively.

“Many people won’t believe it, but checking the yearbook of a school that would rate @lopezobrador_ as a fifi, everything seems to indicate that they were in the same grade,” she wrote on her Twitter account.

According to the data of also the columnist of El Financiero, Ovidio and Durazo’s son would have attended the sixth year of primary school together in an exclusive school.

This would have been more than 17 years ago, taking into account the current age of the alleged offender, 28 years old, who is also nicknamed “El Ratón”.

Ovidio is the man behind the shootings that put Culiacán on Thursday in a state of siege, after he was intercepted by federal forces at a city address, which triggered clashes between gunmen and uniformed personnel to prevent his arrest.

The Federal Security Cabinet said Friday that Ovidio Guzman, aka ‘El Ratón’ was not formally detained, although security personnel were in his home, they were ordered to stand down before being able to apprehend him to avoid further casualties, according to the government.
