Accused security chief for sons of "El Chapo" arrested in Mexico: "A complete psychopath"

Mexico's National Guard officers on Wednesday arrested the hyper violent, alleged security chief for the "Chapitos" wing of the Sinaloa drug cartel -- an arrest that was welcomed with gratitude Thursday by President Joe Biden.

The Public Safety Department's arrest registry says Nestor Isidro Pérez Salas was detained around 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at a walled property in the Sinaloa state capital of Culiacan. The department listed his alias as "El Nini."

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in April had posted a $3 million reward for his capture. Pérez Salas is wanted on U.S. charges of conspiracy to import and distribute fentanyl in the United States. But he also allegedly left a trail of murder and torture behind him in Mexico.
