Mexico crime: Alleged security chief for El Chapo's sons detained

The sons, known as "Chapitos" (little Chapos), rose to lead a faction of the cartel after their father was jailed.

The US had offered $3m (£2.4m) for information leading to his capture.

He is wanted there on drug trafficking and weapons charges.

Mexico's National Guard has arrested the alleged security chief of a faction of the Sinaloa cartel, Néstor Isidro Pérez Salas, also known as "El Nini". "El Nini" is accused of leading a ruthless group of bodyguards providing protection for the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
