Official sources have confirmed that the son of “El Chapo”, Iván Archivaldo Guzmán, is among those kidnapped in Puerto Vallarta.
The Jalisco Attorney General's Office will offer Tuesday afternoon more information about the identity of the people kidnapped by the group of armed men.
A group of six or seven people suspected to be members of Guzmán's feared Sinaloa Cartel were abducted by eight armed men from an upscale eatery in the heart of the resort early on Monday.
Jalisco, which lies south along the Pacific coast from Sinaloa, is home to the Jalisco New Generation cartel, which has become one of the country's most powerful drug gangs in recent years.
