Mexican authorities have arrested a drug kingpin who was viewed as a possible successor to the notorious El Mencho.
El Mencho - who was the leader of the powerful Jalisco New Generation Cartel - died in custody earlier this year.
In the latest development, Mexico's security leader says Audías Flores Silva has been captured, as part of an ongoing crackdown on drug-smuggling cartels in the country.
