Mexican 'drug boss' captured despite weight loss surgery and hair implants
The alleged boss of a notorious Mexican drug gang has been arrested despite having hair implants and weight loss surgery to evade capture.
"El Betito" - the suspected head of Mexico City's Tepito Union gang - was detained in the south west of the sprawling city, said national security commissioner Renato Sales.
He had lost about 4st 10lbs (30kg) through gastric band surgery to reduce the size of his stomach.
Police photos show the 37-year-old looking considerably more slimline, bearded, and with a fuller head of hair. Local media reported his real name as Roberto Moyado Esparza.
He was arrested in the Rincón del Pedregal neighborhood carrying $10,000 (£7,825), drugs and a handgun. His brother, who was apparently guarding him, was also detained.
