El Chapo's son may be among those kidnapped at Mexico resort

El Chapo's son may be among those kidnapped at Mexico resort

AP/ August 16, 2016, 4:26 PM

MEXICO CITY -- The son of imprisoned drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman may be among the half-dozen men abducted by gunmen at a restaurant in the Mexican beach resort of Puerto Vallarta, authorities said Tuesday.

Jalisco state Attorney General Eduardo Almaguer told Radio Formula that "it is presumed," though not yet certain, that Ivan Archivaldo Guzman was among the six men kidnapped from the upscale restaurant by a squad of seven armed assailants.

Experts say Ivan Archivaldo assumed control of parts of his father's business after he was re-arrested in January.

Officials earlier estimated that 10 to 12 had been kidnapped, based on the confused nature of evidence at the crime scene. Investigators have been taking fingerprints from the scene, viewing video images and checking identifications related to five vehicles - some luxury models - left behind by the victims at the restaurant.

I remember a few obscure eateries in Boston that would even close if some mobster made reservations for some kind of meeting over dinner with at least one entourage present. I hope that was the case here, with no innocent people being grabbed along with them.

I saw a photo which had white barrels placed around in front of the place in spots where you'd expect cars to park. It could be they were blocking them so only the cartel visitors could park there. I was puzzled about why the barrels were taking up parking spaces.

I'll bet you're right.
