Mexico: El Chapo’s Escape Suggests High Level Corruption

2015-07-14 1

Mexican drug lord Joaquin “el Chapo” Guzman’s escape from a maximum security prison reportedly took place through a mile long tunnel that led to a house under construction. It was not until two hours after the escape that the proper authorities were notified. This second escape of the leader of the Sinaloa cartel is an embarrassment to the Peña Nieto government, suggesting official complicity and high level corruption, according to analysts and people on the street.
