Guzman is arrested in a raid of a high-rise condominium in Mazatlan. The raid happens so fast that his guards do not have time to react and he cannot grab his AK-47 which is nearby. He is taken directly to prison. Former Mexican anti-drug prosecutor:

This is a huge success for Mexican authorities that after so many years, this guy will return to prison. All of his victims deserve that.
