The Mexican government offered a reward of 60 million pesos for information leading to the arrest of Joaquin Guzmán Loera, better known as El Chapo (Shorty). US authorities added to the reward making it a combined total of US$ 8.8 million. El Chapo was wanted for murder and drug trafficking. He was the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel that smuggled huge amounts of narcotics to the United States. He had been arrested and imprisoned twice and had escaped twice. On the first occasion he bribed prison officers to look away as he hid in a basket of dirty laundry that was taken out of the prison. The second escape was fitting of a Hollywood movie. Accomplices dug a mile-long tunnel that came up under the shower booth inside Guzman’s cell. Tunneling was El Chapo’s speciality. When Mexican security forces raided homes where he was hiding he escaped through underground tunnels. One was under a bathtub. Tunnels were also the means he used to move drugs across the border from Mexico to the US. In 2013 US authorities discovered a zig-zagging underground passageway between a warehouse in Tijuana Mexico and San Diego in the US. The 650 metre “super tunnel”, as investigators called it, had electric lighting, ventilation and a rail transport system. El Chapo was finally caught again after Mexican marines stormed a house that they believed contained a high-level Sinaloa cartel member. Unknown to them El Chapo was also there. After a gunfight that left five cartel members dead and six wounded El Chapo again escaped through a tunnel. Emerging he stole a car at pistol point. After a state-wide search for the vehicle marines found El Chapo a short distance away. Guzman offered them large mounts of cash, properties and jobs which they refused. He told them “You are all going to die!”
