I recorded a program last night on the passionate eye called "narco bling" about the Mexican narco gangs. I only saw a bit of it but El Chapo was in it.
It's on again march 2 if anyone is interested.

It looks crazy, I only watched the first 15 minutes of it, up until the part where 20 suv's packed with gun toting Sinaloa cartel gang members take over a whole town for an hour, to assassinate some people. The 7 police officers in the town can only watch, on camera.
Also like that they have a patron saint of drugs to pray to and give offerings.
Operation Gargoyle: Pursuit, capture and confessions of El Chapo
Quote:
On January 19th of this year, 200 elite Mexican Navy marines landed in the Culiacán, Sinaloa, airport.
It was the start of Operation Gargoyle.
This is the story of how Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera, the most wanted man in the world, was located, pursued, surrounded and captured, according to the testimony of the Navy soldiers who arrested him, their commanders who coordinated the operation, and the elements of the PGR (Attorney General) who assisted.
This is the building.
This is the apartment.
This is the room.
This is the bath.
And behind this door, the last hideaway of 'El Chapo' Guzman.
Here, he was apprehended by an elite commando, made up of six marine troops.
To locate him, they tapped his phones, they used aircraft to spy on him, they intercepted his radio communications, they had recent photographs of him, they figured out he had three weaknesses (money, women and candy), that he was a fan of Tutsi-Pop and peanuts, that he frequently ordered good food from restaurants, that he never spent more than two days under the same roof, that he dyed his hair and mustache, that he had exercise walking machines in all his safe houses, that he had recently lost weight, that he didn't use a cell phone, that many times he would make his men eat the food they took him to make sure it wasn't poisoned, that he didn't use drugs any more, that he was so mistrustful that he allowed only four people to be with him at all times: Chaneke, his chief of security; Condor, his chief of communications; Nariz, his main errand boy, all three former members of Army Special Forces, and his cook.
How the hell did they calculate where the tunnel should come up? By all accounts they used a compass since GPS doesn't work underground.
I would assume that they probably smuggled him a GPS, to know where to emerge with the tunnel. Most probably had most if not all the guards paid off, they had plans of the prison.
Another news coverage stated that the house from where the tunnel started could be seen from the prison, and that to remove that much dirt 300-400 dump trucks would be needed.
Obviously sorted out what ever it was that needed sorting, spent a bit of time at the beach and now has to head back to the office and get back to work.

Fixed that for you.
Yeah, they've got him. For now.

Yeah, they have to be extraditing him immediately this time or the corruption goes all the way to the top ... which honestly still wouldn't surprise me.
Why would he be extradited to the U.S? He should be locked up in Mexico where the majority of his crimes have taken place. Sure he escaped twice, but it's not like the U.S didn't have some high profile criminals escape as well. Highly doubt Mexico would extradite him.
