Indicted in 2014 and later sentenced to nearly five years in prison, Escobedo swore to his family he’d left his narco ties in the past.

The oldest, Eddie Escobedo Jr., says he knows he will always be known first and foremost as “El Mago’s son,” though his dad never wanted his children to follow him into the narco world.

“There’s no narcotráfico here. It’s just not there. I just don’t understand this need by some journalists to lean into all these sensationalist headlines — narco this, trans that. I’ll say what I’ve always said: This is not a documentary.”

“The war against el narco will not return,” Sheinbaum, who took office last week, said in her daily press conference.

“We have become a society profoundly perverted by narco money,” he said the other day.
