A man suspected of being one of the top leaders of Mexico’s Jalisco Nueva Generacion drug cartel has been arrested for the second time in six months, the Defense Secretariat said.

Nicolas Balcazar Lopez was detained last Friday at a house in an upscale neighborhood in Tlajomulco de Zuñiga, a city in Jalisco state, the secretariat said.

Balcazar Lopez had also been arrested last December in the same western Mexican state, officials said.
