One of the factions of the Sinaloa Cartel vying for control of the region just got dealt a new blow after one of its top security chiefs was arrested by Mexican authorities on Wednesday.
Kevin Alonso Gil Acosta, also known as "El 200" and "El Cabo" (The Corporal), was arrested, said on Thursday Mexican Security Secretary Omar García Harfuch. He worked for "Los Chapitos," the cartel faction led by the sons of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, engulfed in a bloody war with "La Mayiza," still loyal to Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.
