VOICED : Detienen a capo mexicano que queria el cartel de El Chapo

The Mexican authorities have detained Damaso López, known as 'El Licenciado', who was a close associate of the imprisoned drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán. Experts suggest López could potentially succeed El Chapo as the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, a major drug trafficking organization. López was captured by the military and the Criminal Investigation Agency in a wealthy neighborhood of Mexico City. He faces extradition to the United States on charges related to drug trafficking and money laundering, as requested by the state of Virginia. Previously, López was the deputy director of the maximum-security prison from which El Chapo escaped in 2001, earning his trust by aiding in the escape.
