Captured
Guzman is arrested in a raid of a high-rise condominium in Mazatlan. The raid happens so fast that his guards do not have time to react and he cannot grab his AK-47 which is nearby. He is taken directly to prison. Former Mexican anti-drug prosecutor:
This is a huge success for Mexican authorities that after so many years, this guy will return to prison. All of his victims deserve that.
Arrested
Guatemalan authorities detain Guzman and hand him over to Mexican authorities near Tapachula. He is wanted on charges of drug trafficking, murder and kidnapping. He denies the charges saying that he is a corn and bean farmer who was sightseeing in Guatemala.
