Mexico is one country where too many people are loyal to drug kingpins.
Early Sunday, popular drug baron, Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, head of the
Sinaloa Cartel, escaped from the Altiplano maximum security prison once
again. As at the time of posting, it is unclear how he managed to
disappear.
But Mexican officials released some details ABC News on the latest development:
2:35 AM: Guzmán was taken in restraints by two prison guards on a routine cell transfer.
3:05 AM: Prison staff could not locate Guzmán or the two prison guards’s whereabouts.
The prison was put on lockdown as personnel went looking for them, all three men had disappeared.
4:15 AM: A prison van was found abandoned only a mile away from the
prison. Mexican officials believe the two guards, who began working at
the prison just months ago, were actually members of the Sinaloa Cartel
working for Guzmán.
Before his latest escape, Mexican officials were working to extradite
“El Chapo” to the United States, where he faced drug trafficking charges
connected to his cartel, authorities said.
An undercover U.S. FBI agent told the Dallas Morning News that El
Chapo’s strange escape was like Osama Bin Laden escaping prison — and
the state has only itself to blame. He added, “What does this say about
Mexican corruption? Disgusting!”
This is now the third time El Chapo would be escaping from Mexican prison.
