Mexico City (CNN)Jesus Alfredo Guzman, the 29-year-old son of jailed Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, has been freed after he was kidnapped a week ago in Puerto Vallarta, three sources confirmed to CNN.
A high-ranking source inside the Mexican government confirmed he was freed, and a source close to the Guzman family said El Chapo"s son, who was kidnapped along with five other people by seven armed men, is now in Sinaloa, Mexico.
Journalist Anabel Hernandez confirmed to CNN that according to sources inside the Guzman family, El Chapo"s son was freed on Saturday.
The Mexican army, marines, federal police, state police and the country"s top prosecution office were searching for the missing men and their kidnappers, Almaguer said.
Jesus Alfredo is the youngest of El Chapo"s two children from his first marriage. His older brother, Ivan Archivaldo Guzman, was imprisoned in Mexico in 2005 but released three years later for lack of evidence.
The elder Guzman is behind bars in a Juarez, Mexico, prison as his attorneys fight efforts to extradite him to the United States.
