A politician from Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's home state of Sinaloa will be questioned about her relationship with the recently recaptured drug lord.
Police were on Thursday transporting Lucero Guadalupe Sanchez to Mexico City to question her regarding the alleged use of fraudulent documents to visit Guzman in April in the maximum security prison he would escape from a couple of months later, government officials said.
Sanchez has not been charged with any crime but resigned her position with the opposition National Action Party on Wednesday.
On Monday, El Universal newspaper published an interview with Attorney General Arely Gomez in which she said the government believed Sanchez spent New Year's Eve with Guzman in Sinaloa.
Guzman, of the Sinaloa cartel, was captured on January 8 after his second escape from a Mexican maximum-security prison.
