Two Mexican drug kingpin including the son of notorious cartel boss El Chapo, have been arrested and are in US custody.

Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada, the co-founder of the Sinaloa drug cartel, and Joaquín Guzmán López surrendered to American law enforcement.

Zambada founded the Sinaloa Cartel along with now-jailed drug lord Joaquin ‘ El Chapo‘ Guzman, and he faces a litany of indictments for crimes relating to drug trafficking and organized crime in the US.

American federal prosecutors in February charged Zambada with conspiracy to make and distribute fentanyl, but he has never been behind bars.

Lopez is one of El Chapo’s sons and was elevated to the cartel’s top leadership in 2017 when his father was extradited to the US.

His brother Ovidio Guzmán López was also arrested in Mexico, and extradited to the US in September to face his own long list of charges. 

American officials said fentanyl was the leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 18 and 45.

More to come.

PETER VAN ONSELEN: Redbridge poll shift shows signs of a political earthquake blowing up one of the most enduring truths of Aussie politics – that Victoria is a Labor state

Once described as the jewel in the crown of the Liberal Party, the state of Victoria has long been an electoral wasteland for the right-of-centre major party. But that might be changing. It's only one poll, but after nearly a decade in power the Labor government's primary vote has plummeted according to Redbridge independent polling.
