José Ángel Canobbio, also known as "El Güerito", was arrested in the northern city of Culiacán.

The Mexican army says it has arrested a key player in the Sinaloa drug cartel in the northern city of Culiacán.

José Ángel Canobbio, also known as “El Güerito” (little blond one), is accused of being the right hand man of Iván Archivaldo Guzmán, one of the sons of infamous jailed drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.

Mexican security forces say the arrest of Canobbio, who they say was in charge of security for Iván Archivaldo Guzmán, is a severe blow to the Sinaloa cartel.
