Just days after rumors suggested Mexican authorities had detained Aureliano Guzmán Loera, known as "El Guano" and the older brother of Sinaloa cartel co-founder Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, an operation in the state of Durango led to the arrest of 10 suspected members of his criminal organization.
In a statement, Mexico's Defense Ministry said Army, National Guard and Navy personnel detained key figures tied to the group known as "Gente del Guano," led by Aureliano Guzmán. Among those arrested was Abel "N," identified by authorities as El Guano's right-hand man and most trusted bodyguard.
