El Chapo: the escape of a mobster
Roberto Saviano, author of "Gomorrah", said that Mexican cartels should be defined as mafia organizations, that can not exist without direct links with politics, entrepreneurs and the judiciary beyond simple bribery and corruption.
Hailed by supporters in the northwestern state of Sinaloa as a man with more heft than the president, El Chapo's audacious breakout from a maximum security prison through a tunnel has all but guaranteed his immortality in global crime-lore.
Internal documents of the Drug Enforcement Administration obtained by The Associated Press reveal that drug agents first got information on escape plans in March 2014. That was about a month after Guzmán was captured in Mazatlán, Mexico.
More than 30 employees who were in the prison during the escape are being interrogated to determine if they are involved, among them Valentín Cárdenas Lerma, director of the prison; the deputy director, guards and the medical staff that supplied drugs to Guzmán.
Paulo Flores, Ronald Roland and Manoel Gonsalez allegedly obtained the drugs from members of Colombia's FARC and took them to Mexico for the Sinaloa Cartel and Los Zetas on planes departing from Venezuela that passed through Honduras.
Xilin Chen and his son, Tom Chen, laundered money for Mexican drug cartels.
