Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was back on Saturday in the prison he escaped from six months ago after Marines recaptured him, in part thanks to his desire to make a biopic.
Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was back on Saturday in the prison he escaped from six months ago after Marines recaptured him, in part thanks to his desire to make a biopic.
Guzman was arrested in a deadly military raid early Friday that left five suspects dead in Los Mochis, a coastal city in his native north-western state of Sinaloa.
Hours later and wearing a dark shirt and sweatpants, the world’s most wanted kingpin was frogmarched by marines into a military helicopter at Mexico City’s international airport. Attorney-general Arely Gomez said the drug cartel boss was being taken to the Altiplano prison, west of Mexico City.
On July 11, after just 17 months at Altiplano, Guzman had escaped through a hole in his cell’s shower.
