El Chapo Guzman RECAPTURED and he returns to jail he ESCAPED from & He want to make a FILM about his life
Notorious drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman's has been returned to the same prison he escaped from six months ago because he wanted to make a film about his life, according to Mexico's attorney general.
The cartel leader's narcissism appears to have been his downfall after he began the process of making a biopic of his rags to riches story following his escape from the Altiplano jail last July.
El Chapo, which means 'the short one' in Spanish, had even started to contact producers and actresses through intermediaries which was what tipped off the authorities to his whereabouts.
He was captured by marines during a raid in the town of Los Mochis, located in the kingpin's home state of Sinaloa, on Friday. Despite tunneling out of the maximum security facility in July, Mexican marines returned him to the Altiplano jail today.
Attorney general Arely Gómez told the Guardian that the vain drugs lord had wanted to make a biopic of his life, in the same vein as Netflix's popular Narcos show, based on the life of infamous, slain Colombian kingpin Pablo Escobar.
'He established communication with actors and producers, which formed a new line of investigation,' Gómez said. She refused to confirm which stars had been approached for the film.
Since his recapture, the United States are almost certain to seek extradition on at least seven indictments.
U.S. Department of Justice spokesman Peter Carr told CNN: 'I can confirm that it is the practice of the United States to seek extradition whenever defendants subject to U.S. charges are apprehended in another country.'
El Chapo was arrested at a tacky hotel in Los Mochis wearing a filthy vest, which showed off several fresh scratches on his arms.
Five cartel gangsters were killed and another six were arrested in the raid, while one Mexican marine sustained non-life-threatening injuries. A vast arsenal of weapons was seized, including rocket launchers, machine guns and armored vehicles.
El Chapo had earlier escaped from a nearby house which came under fire from marines as the net closed on the cartel leader, Mexican officials revealed.
The raid also ended in the capture of El Chapo's right-hand man 'El Cholo', a hitman who was also on the run from the law.
El Chapo, who was wearing a navy blue shirt and blue Adidas sweatpants, was marched from a military vehicle by three soldiers - showing their faces in full sight - to the Mexican attorney general's hangar at an airbase in New Mexico.
After being briefly paraded in front of journalists, El Chapo was bundled into a helicopter by Mexican marines - who had their faces covered - and set off towards the prison near Toluca.
Mexican police say the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S. Marshals aided in El Chapo's recapture. El Chapo was seen being bundled on to a plane by security officials on Friday afternoon.
Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto wrote on his Twitter account on Friday: 'Mission accomplished: We have him.'
Mexican officials revealed that a firefight at a house in Los Mochis earlier on Friday was related to the raid that saw fugitive El Chapo recaptured.
He is believed to have fled under the cover of gunfire from his henchmen before being arrested later at a motel alongside his most-trusted bodyguard.
In a picture of his arrest, El Chapo stands in a bedroom, where a photo of a scantily-clad woman hangs in the background - his hands shackled in handcuffs in front of him as he stares off to the side of the camera.
In the other photo, he sits in a car with his right-hand man, with his hand held up to his chin in thought.
The man seen slumped alongside el Chapo in the back of the police van is his chief hitman Orso Iván Gastélum Cruz, known as 'El Cholo' - a nickname commonly used to refer to young people in Mexican gangs.
LIke El Chapo he too was on the run, having escaped from prison in 2009.
His girlfriend, the winner of Miss Sinaloa 2012 was gunned down and killed by the army during a manhunt for him in 2012.
The Mexican Navy said in a statement that marines acting on a tip raided a motel in the town of Los Mochis around 4:30am. They were fired on from inside the structure.
A Mexican law enforcement official said authorities located El Chapo several days ago, based on reports that he was in Los Mochis, which is 1,300 miles north west of the high security Altiplano prison he escaped from. The official says authorities even searched storm drains in the coastal city.
At an afternoon press conference, the Mexican president announced El Chapo's arrest and thanked those who spent months tracking down the criminal.
'Today, Mexico confirms that its institutions have the capabilities that are necessary to face and overcome anyone who threatens the tranquility of Mexican families,' Nieto said.
El Chapo's arrest 'demonstrates that when Mexicans work together, there is no adversity that can not be overcome', he added.
Nieto had earlier tweeted: 'My appreciation to the Security Cabinet of the Government of the Republic for this important achievement for the rule of law in Mexico.'
At the hideout, marines seized two armored vehicles, eight rifles, one handgun and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
Photos of the arms seized suggested that Guzman and his associates had a fearsome arsenal at the non-descript white building in which he was hiding.
Two of the rifles seized were .50-caliber sniper guns, capable of penetrating most bullet-proof vests and cars. The grenade launcher was found loaded, with an extra round nearby. And an assault rifle had a .40 mm grenade launcher, and at least one grenade.
