Authorities in Mexico use all the tools available to recapture Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera, considered by the U.S. as the world’s most powerful drug trafficker and who is now serving 11 years to be fugitive of justice. To the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) the arrest of the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, like the other capos, is an ongoing objective, so have intensified intelligence work to account to justice. Authorities reported dependence to the capture of Guzman Loera is a priority of the Federal Government, and attributed responsibility for the violence in various institutions and their participation in the illicit drug market. For the expert National Security, Jorge Chabat, Mexico has sophisticated intelligence services, for which the authorities have repeatedly been about to apprehend him. ”It is a difficult to catch a target, so the information exchange with other countries is essential. For example, we stopped Edgar Valdez Villarreal, ‘La Barbie’ and the same needs to happen with who is considered the best-known drug dealer,” he said. Born April 4, 1957 in La Tuna, municipality of Badiraguato Sinaloa, ‘El Chapo’ was first arrested on June 9, 1993 on the border between Guatemala and Mexico, and imprisoned in the maximum security prison ‘La Palma’, now ‘The Plateau’, located in Almoloya de Juarez, State of Mexico. Information indicates that on November 22, 1995 the Ministry transferred him to the prison in Puente Grande, Jalisco, where he escaped on January 19, 2001, while he was serving a sentence of 20 years for drug crimes, conspiracy and bribery. According to the official version, after the roll call of the Sinaloa cartel leader went to the laundry area, where he hid in a cart carrying dirty clothes to pass the guards at different points to the office of criminal. Joaquin Guzman Loera is credited with participation in the nightclub shooting of ‘Christine’, which occurred in Puerto Vallarta, Jalisco, in 1992, where Christine died in the fighting Cardinal Juan Jesus Posadas Ocampo in May 1993 in Guadalajara, and in the execution of Rodolfo Carrillo Fuentes, in September 2004 in Culiacan, Sinaloa. Intelligence reports indicate that before and after escaping the prison in Puente Grande he was supported by Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Juan Jose Esparragoza, ‘The Blue’ who are also fugitives from justice. In 2006 the authorities responsible for combating drug trafficking network discovered a police protection ring linked to the Sinaloa Cartel leader, in which federal, state and municipal government individuals were involved, which at that time made it difficult to arrest El Chapo. Testimonials from arrested members of that organization, reveal that ‘El Chapo’ is accompanied and protected by a group of experts in the management of high-powered weapons. Guzmán Loera also has warrants for his arrest in the U.S., where there a trial against him in abstention on charges of conspiracy to import cocaine and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) offers five million dollars for his capture. Forbes magazine in 2009 named him as one of the most powerful and richest men in the world, in calculating his fortune in billions of dollars, which was listed by the Government as disproportionate and unsupported. The intelligence work to recapture El Chapo is supported by ministerial statements received from his own organization who have been arrested and information obtained by Mexican authorities under witness protection in the United States and Mexico. The former head of the defunct Organized Crime Unit (UEDO) and security expert, Samuel Gonzalez Ruiz, said that “El Chapo” Guzman is the most important drug trafficker in Mexico today , so that his capture should be a priority. For Jorge Chabat, the arrest of Sinaloa cartel leader would be a blow to the drug barons and this is feasible, since intelligence work have been strengthened and it is possible that could fall at any time. For his part, Javier Posadas Oliva, coordinator of the Diploma in Defence and National Security of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), said that work to weaken the Guzmán Loera organization has yielded good results.
