![Joaquin Guzman Loera aka El Chapo, Leader of the Sinaloa Cartel Arrested Joaquin Guzman Loera aka El Chapo, Leader of the Sinaloa Cartel Arrested]()
For many of us in the gore scene, the enigmatic Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, leader of the Sinaloa Cartel and one of world’s richest billionaires is nothing short of legend. Whether it was a PR move on his part, or whether he really meant what he said when he declared war on Los Zetas in order to protect the ordinary folk from their seemingly indiscriminate murder campaign, there was something about him that made El Chapo extraordinary. The Shorty is said to have followed and commanded strict rules, one of which, an important one, was that narco trafficantes resolve their issues among themselves, without disrupting the lives of the common folk. It is for this reason, and many like it, that when I heard the news of El Chapo’s arrest, it brought an proverbial tear in my eye.
One thing is for sure – the kingpin may be under arrest now, but there’s way too much money in drug trafficking so thinking that El Chapo’s arrest spells the end of the Sinaloa Cartel, whose operations traverse continents, would be foolish. There could be a temporary disruption until new jefe takes over, but that’s about as far as the disruption gets.
How Was El Chapo Arrested
Having combined wiretap info obtained by the US spies with other wiretaps, the Mexican authorities were alerted of a beachfront condo where El Chapo was hiding.
The raid on the house landed authorities with a cell phone which further allowed them to close in on the cartel leader.
A Mexican official who spoke on the condition of anonymity revealed that the bathtubs at each Sinaloa house were equipped with hatches which provided access to a maze of underground tunnels. El Chapo allegedly took refuge in the tunnels leading the authorities on a chase through the drainage pipes where they lost him.
The following day the authorities arrested El Chapo’s aide Manuel Lopez Ozorio who spilled all the beans he had and told investigators that he had picked up Joaquin Guzman, Sinaloa Cartel communications chief Carlos Manuel Ramirez and a woman from a drainage pipe and helped them flee to Mazatlan.
About El Chapo Guzman
El Chapo, who’s 56 year old now, escaped from prison in 2001 in a laundry truck. Under his lead, the Sinaloa Cartel grew to become the world’s largest and richest drug trafficking underground organization, second in volume, cashflow and technological armament only to the US government. The Cartel is believed to sell cocaine, marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine in perhaps as many as 54 countries. Son of a peasant farmer, El Chapo grew his wealth enough to make it on the Forbes’ billionaires list.
What happens with El Chapo after his arrest remains to be seen. Mexicans will likely want to keep him home, but the Americans may soon start applying pressure to have him extradited. Several US federal court districts have issued indictments for Joaquin Guzman on a variety of charges. Federal officials in Chicago were among the first to express interest, followed by prosecutors in Brooklyn, N.Y.
We at Best Gore know very well how ruthless Mexican cartels can be. Still, with El Chapo in charge, things seemed somewhat in order. Poverty will entice hundreds of new men and women to get involved with trafficantes, even maybe to start their own cartels and throw away all unwritten rules of sound business established and enforced by El Chapo.
It would be naive to think that his capture would end the era of narco kidnappings and beheadings, as for that to happen, Mexico would first have to sort out its problems with corruption within the government and address basic survival challenges faced by ordinary people.
As for me – I feel as though something has died inside of me with his capture. I admired El Chapo for many things and if I could, I would have loved to hang out with him to learn the art of government evasion. Even though they eventually got him, El Chapo managed to evade authorities for 13 years – not an easy feat in the age of drones, spies, surveillance cameras and telecommunication devices with built in backdoors.
El Chapo set a bar high. Whoever grows ambitious enough to shoot for outdoing the infamous leader of the Sinaloa Cartel will have hell of a huge pair of shoes to fill.
