Mexico has admitted it had mistakenly claimed to have captured a son of Mexico's most wanted drug lord, Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman, which the ruling party had hailed as a major victory in its war on cartels.<br /><br />Mexican marines seized the man on Thursday outside Guadalajara and flew him to Mexico City, where they paraded him<br />in front of the media and identified him as Jesus Alfredo Guzman, alias "El Gordo" or "The Fat One".<br /><br />The man's lawyer, Veronica Guerrero, told a news conference earlier on Friday her client's real name was Felix Beltran and that he was an innocent car dealer.<br /><br />The federal attorney general's office said late on Friday the man arrested was indeed Beltran, without giving any further details.<br /><br />Al Jazeera's Franc Contreras has this report from Mexico City.
