Mexico has arrested top serving and former prison officials over the escape of the notorious drugs lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman from jail.
Mexico's ex-head of federal prisons was among 13 people detained, sources close to the prosecutor said.
The ex-directors of the jail from which Guzman fled were also reportedly held.
