It is hard to believe that last Friday, just shy of six months on the lam, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera was recaptured and now is once again incarcerated in Mexico’s only “super-max” prison, No.1 Altiplano, Centro Federal de Readaptación Social Número 1, in Mexico State. The capo, premier leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, famous for his narco tunnels, escaped from Altiplano in July, 2015, in a Chapo-tunnel, engineered with precision, having been constructed from a farm house a mile from the prison, to Chapo’s cell shower floor.
His days of freedom, relatively short lived, came to an end because of the successful operation, “Black Swan” of the Mexican Navy. He once again was prepared and almost eluded capture using a secret door to a staircase and sewer system. He was successful in using an alike escape plan, February, 2014 plan in Culiacan, Sinaloa.
Few people knew there was another shocker coming, about the man whose life history, is a gift that somehow keeps on giving.
Within 48 hrs news broke that Actor Sean Penn had traveled to Sinaloa, in October 2015, just three months ago, met with Chapo and conducted an interview for Rolling Stone Magazine.
A video teaser of two minutes was included with the interview article, and today the full and complete 17 minute version was released.
It should be noted that Arely Gomez, eluded to the fact that it was Chapo’s communications with “actors and producers”, regarding his making and staring in a biographical movie, that lead the government to Chapo’s hiding network.
Yesterday Mexico said people should be grateful to Penn, for because of his involvement with Chapo, he was able to be captured.
