Mexico's federal police said Sunday that say they have detained a man identified as one of the top money launderers for drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
The police agency said on its Twitter account that Juan Manuel Alvarez was detained in the southern state of Oaxaca.
In a written statement, the police and the interior department said the arrest was carried out in a joint operation with the army and was the result of intelligence work. The statement said he was arrested on a provisional extradition warrant from the United States, where he is wanted on money laundering . . .
