Wild that they finally caught him. Hopefully we get more details on how he got lured to the US in the first place. This guy stayed under the radar so long, US officials weren’t even sure if he was still alive due to his age.

I read in another article that one of Guzman’s sons told him they were flying to look at some property to purchase and then they landed in the US and were immediately arrested. The article gave the impression the son, who was their finance guy iirc, was in on it. What he got out of it I have no idea.
