This was reported by the country’s Minister of Public Security and Citizen Protection.
According to local media, Flores Silva was part of the group’s leadership and was considered a possible successor to its leader, El Mencho, who, according to preliminary reports, was killed in February.
The United States had previously offered a $5 million reward for information that could lead to his capture.
