Mexican Drug Kingpin Is Captured. JoaquÃ­n GuzmÃ¡n Loera, âEl Chapo,â one of Mexicoâs top drug bosses and a Forbes list billionaire since 2009, was captured today in a Mexican resort after a 13-year manhunt.
Here, he describes his mountain community, and how his control of the Sinaloa cartel crumbled as the state reacted to his audacious escape. Back in custody, Mexicoâs most wanted drug lord, JoaquÃ­n âEl Chapoâ GuzmÃ¡n, above, in a pictured from his arrest yesterday, at an undisclosed location in Mexico. Caught again. That makes it three times that the Mexican drug kingpin El Chapo has been captured. The last two followed his fabled escapes from Mexicoâs top security prisons. The first, improbably, in a laundry basket in 2001.
