A source from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) reportedly informed Mexican newspaper El Universal that Ovidio Guzmán, son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, has entered the U.S. Witness Protection Program under the custody of the U.S. Marshals. The source added that Guzmán will not be presented publicly as his case is classified.
Guzmán López, known as "El Ratón," is no longer listed under the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) custody. His BOP record indicates that he was "released" on July 23. This development has led the Fiscalía General de la República (FGR) in Mexico to suggest a possible connection between the kidnapping of Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada and the alleged release of Ovidio Guzmán.
