The Recapture of "EL CHAPO"
Summary: "The Recapture of 'EL CHAPO' Following his spectacular escape from the Altiplano federal prison in July 2016, Joaqu'n 'El Chapo' Guzm'n was recaptured by Mexican authorities in the city of Los Mochis, Sinaloa state. In a special edition of Aquí y Ahora (Here and Now) we discuss details of the operation that ended with the recapture of the most wanted drug trafficker. We talked to witnesses and visited the places where everything happened. In addition, we told how the hunt for the drug lord was carried out for months and how authorities finally managed to find his whereabouts. Many questions are still unanswered ... Will they send him back to the jail he escaped from? Would the Mexican government be willing to extradite him to the United States? Airplanes, tequila and mariachis ... were some of the elements during the meeting held by actors Kate del Castillo and Sean Penn with 'El Chapo' Guzman. While they were going to their secret meeting they were being followed by Mexican intelligence officers. And also, the messages exchanged by the actress and the capo were being monitored. Who served as their guides? Who were their contacts? With whom did they meet? The photos, the incidents and the people they met before coming face to face with the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. We recount the operation that ended with the recapture of Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman. We went through each room where the then fugitive was ... we examined in detail, frame by frame, the video taken by the Mexican marines ... the complete route through the drainage system where the elusive fugitive tried to escape again. In addition, Samuel's dramatic account, one of the many victims of 'El Chapo' Guzman. After living for some time as an undocumented immigrant in the United States, José was deported to Mexico. While at the border, he and a group of immigrants ran into men of the Sinaloa Cartel who kidnapped them and forced them to return illegally loaded with drugs. Of his group, several women and even children refused. They cut one man's hand with a saw, and another his head, and that's how they tortured them until almost everyone was killed. They told them that nobody could say no to 'El Chapo'. In the middle of a shooting, Samuel managed to escape and arrived at the border where he surrendered to the U.S. authorities and applied for political asylum showing the aftermath of the torture he was subjected to. The unexpected influence of 'El Chapo' Guzman in the world of fashion ... They call them ' El Chapo's shirts'. Since the captured leader of the Sinaloa Cartel appeared wearing two shirts of the same designer, the garments have not stopped selling. And they are not cheap ... Beyond the shirts, many sportswear designers and manufacturers are taking advantage of the recaptured drug king's image to offer new products and make more sales."--2016 Peabody Awards entry form.
