Arrests

Some big arrests of people evidently very important to Chapo Guzmán today: a man alleged to be his Colombian connection was arrested in part of a big operation in that South American nation, and El Teo's replacement Raydel Gómez was picked up in La Paz. Gómez, incidentally, is known as El Muletas, or the Crutches, one of the most bizarre and colorful narco-nicknames I've heard.
