Sean Penn and El Chapo
It’s not secret the U.S. government wants to extradite
Mexican drug kingpin, Joaquin Guzman, nickname El Chapo, on a
host of narcotic offenses. However, after the Mexican government
recaptured their most famous escapee, all extradition requests
will reportedly be denied, as El Chapo has committed so many
drug related offenses in Mexico, he is eligible for hundreds of
years in prison, far outlasting his life span.

El Chapo was caught after Hollywood began indirectly
contacting him through third parties, stating they wish to make
a biopic about his life. Intrigued by the idea, El Chapo
consented to an interview for Rolling Stone magazine, with
disturbed, mentally unstable actor, Sean Penn, which took place
in a Mexican jungle. It is through Penn that the Mexican
government traced the location of the world’s top cocaine,
heroin, ecstasy and marijuana supplier. The Mexican military
planned and executed a perfectly timed raid and recaptured El
Chapo, who had previously escaped in 1994, then again in 2001
and remained at large for 13-years until his 2014 capture.

head and mustached were shaved in his latest arrest
El Chapo has been remanded into custody. Needless to say,
there will be no bail in this case. El Chapo’s mug shot reveals
the hair on his head and trademark mustache have been shaved. As
for Penn, suspicion surrounds him, as some will question whether
the U.S. government sought to capture El Chapo and used him in a
bid to do so. El Chapo still has large cash reserves hidden on
the outside and has extensive ties to drug criminals apart of
his network of crime.

cuffed in his latest safe house that was raided by the Mexican
government. El Chapo, famous for using tunnels, attempted to
tunnel out through a sewer that led to a main road near the
property.
El Chapo has been using money from the drug trade to live
lavishly for two decades. Previously, his mansion was raided and
seized by the Mexican government. Stolen art, exotic tigers,
lions and cheetahs were seized as well, in addition to $207
million dollars in currency stored in a room of the mansion
protected by armed guards.
