Father of 'El Chapo': A 'Gift for Obama' (El Universal, Mexico)
"The arrest drug trafficker Joaquin
'El Chapo' Guzman's father[in-law] is seen by
Washington as a gift for President Barack Obama, who arrives in Mexico City
tomorrow for a working visit."
The arrest drug trafficker Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's father[in-law] is seen by Washington
as a gift for President Barack Obama, who arrives in Mexico City tomorrow for a
working visit. The capture of Inés Coronel Barreras comes amid U.S. media questions. They see a change
in strategy in the area of security and cooperation with the United States by President
Enrique Peña Nieto, which puts at risk the flow of
dollars from the Merida
Initiative. In fact, the arrest of Coronel Barreras,
who the U.S. Treasury Department calls part of El Chapo's
criminal organization, came on the birthday of National Security Commissioner Manuel Mondragon. And
it was elements of the Federal Police that arrested him in Agua Prieta, Sonora. Was he a double-wrapped gift??
