Ovidio Guzmán López released by police to prevent civil war in Mexico
Ovidio Guzman Lopez has been released by Mexico's security forces after his arrest triggered an all-out cartel war.
The handsome model is the son of notorious drug lord Joaquin Guzman, best known as El Chapo.
The 28-year-old is one of four children from his dad's second marriage. El Chapo had two other wives and at least six more children, according to reports.
Ovidio is the leader of the powerful Sinaloa cartel. He and his older brother Ivan took control of the drug gang after their father was captured and extradited to the US in 2017.
The sons, who are known locally as "Los Chapitos", were previously believed to have been in a battle with one of the cofounders of the cartel. Ismel "El Mayo" Zambada reportedly wanted them removed from the organisation. The Sinaloa Cartel, also known as the Guzman-Loera Organisation, is an international drug trafficking, money laundering and organised crime gang, which was established in the late 1980s.
