Several months after busting out of a federal prison in Mexico, drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has been recaptured.
Mexico’s president, Pena Nieto wrote in his Twitter account on Friday: “Mission accomplished: We have him.”
El Chapo had been on the run since July 11, 2015, when he escaped through a subterranean tunnel that ran to the shower area of his cell in Altiplano Federal Prison.
However, details involving the recent arrest of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman have not been fully released. We’ll keep you updated on the details.
Misión cumplida: lo tenemos. Quiero informar a los mexicanos que Joaquín Guzmán Loera ha sido detenido.
