El Chapo’s daughter has married a drug baron’s nephew at a lavish wedding complete with armoured luxury cars and cartel hitmen as security, it is reported.
The jailed Sinaloa cartel boss wasn’t there to walk his daughter, Alejandrina Gisselle Guzman, down the aisle – he’s serving a life sentence at a US prison dubbed the “Alcatraz of the Rockies”.
Alejandrina, 38, and groom Edgar Cazares arrived in armoured SUVs and the cathedral in Culiacan, Mexico, where the Sinaloa cartel is based, was cordoned off with yellow crime scene-like tape.
Instead of sharing a dance with her dad during a night-time bash, Alejandrina – who wore a white dress and a tiara – went for a spin with her mum, Maria, who was Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s first wife.
Photos show a row of luxury armoured cars parked in front of a cathedral, which was sealed off to the public and under heavy security.
Heavily-armed drug cartel hitmen provided security for the event while senior figures were among the guests, according to Mexican media.
It is believed Ovidio Guzman Lopez, one of El Chapo’s sons, attended the wedding, which was presided over by a priest who is close to the Guzman family.
Ovidio was famously captured by Mexican soldiers in October and then freed after a gun battle with Sinaloa cartel members in Culiacan.
Footage and photos posted online shows the bride and groom’s first dance, and the couple watching fireworks exploding in the night sky.
A band called Calibre 50 and singer Julion Alvarez performed for the newlyweds and their guests during a reception at the Alama Grande resort.
The wedding took place on January 25, but the images didn’t emerge until Saturday.
Edgar proposed to Alejandrina during a ski trip.
He is the nephew of Blanca Margarita Cazares Salazar, an alleged cartel money launderer dubbed “The Empress” of the drug trafficking world.
