The daughter of Mexican drug lord, El Chapo got married to the nephew of another known drug leader.
According to Mexican newspaper Reforma, Alejandrina Gisselle Guzman got married to Edgar Cazares, the nephew of Blanca Margarita Cazares an alleged cartel money launderer.
The wedding took place on January 25 in the heartland of Mexico’s powerful Sinaloa Cartel.
Photographs and videos, including performances of a popular Mexican band and singers, fireworks, and yellow tape around the cathedral, were shared on social media.
PM News reported that the wedding took place at the Roman Catholic Diocese of Culiacan.
Culiacan citizens living and working near the cathedral told Reuters on Saturday that they had noticed an extravagant wedding though they had been unaware of who the couple was.
“The church is for everyone,” Sofia, who declined to give her surname, said. “But the church shouldn’t give privileges to anyone.” Others agreed. “With money, you can close any building here,” Francisca added. “It’s unfair.”
