Mexico has arrested Isai ‘N’, a US-wanted nephew of drug kingpin Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, in the northern border state of Sonora, security officials confirmed, according to Punch Newspapers. The suspect, identified by Mexican media as Isai Martinez Zepeda, is also wanted by US authorities, underscoring ongoing cross-border efforts against cartel-linked networks and fugitives tied to El Chapo’s Sinaloa organization.
Officials say details of his capture remain limited, though reports suggest prior weapons-related detention years ago. The development adds to the long-running crackdown on the Guzmán family, with several members already imprisoned in the United States.
