‘Nothin’ to hide’ after interview with drug lord ‘El Chapo’: Sean Penn

Already convicted of multiple Mexican offenses linked to his running of the gang, Guzman faces murder, drug trafficking, kidnapping and money laundering charges in the United States. Guzman escaped from Mexican prison six months ago, and was a fugitive when the two met. It’s a unusual, interesting piece, and a little incomplete for the mere fact that after their initial meeting, the follow-up for the formal interview never took place.

The scene was captured on Friday during a three-hour operation to capture the drug lord.

Badillo said that his client should not be extradited to the United States because “our country must respect national sovereignty – the sovereignty of its institutions to impart justice”. They appear to throw an explosive into the room and open fire. The Mexican government released the video Monday.

So, how exactly did Sean Penn, the actor, get access to El Chapo, the notorious drug trafficker?

In the Rolling Stone article, Penn wrote that Guzman was interested in having a movie filmed on his life.

Penn travelled to a remote location in Mexico in October to meet with Guzmán, after making contact through Mexican actress Kate del Castillo. Mexican authorities want to speak to Penn and del Castillo, claims a law enforcement official, but the Oscar victor is not anxious.

The official said the meeting between Penn and Guzman was held in Tamazula, a community in Durango state that neighbors Sinaloa, home of Guzman’s drug cartel. Some Americans denounced the interview.

The actor was criticised for the interview – a White House spokesman said it was “maddening”, while Republican Marco Rubio said it was “grotesque”.

Journalists also questioned Penn’s agreement to permit Guzman the right to review the article before it was published.

“I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world”, Guzman said over sips of tequila.

“I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats”, he told Penn. In late August, while in Paris, Penn met with “Espinoza” and pitched his idea of a magazine feature on Guzman.

In Los Mochis, the drug lord’s last underground escape route was in a bedroom where the bed’s mattress was almost on the ground and men’s clothing was strewn about the floor.

Five of El Chapo’s lieutenants were killed in the raid to arrest him. One Mexican soldier was wounded. They eventually tracked him down in Los Mochis, where he arrived on the eve of the raid.

El Chapo, who is now in solitary confinement, has been being chased by the Mexican government for 6 months after escaping from prison for the second time. He was not recaptured until 2014.

Analysts say the government should extradite Guzman instead of taking the risk of losing him again.

If and when that happens, readers should seek out the reports from the courtroom, where they’ll learn the rest of the story, and perhaps learn why, for reporters who aren’t famous actors, the job is so risky. Kathleen Struck was the editor.

As rains started to fill the drains, Guzman came up through a manhole near a service station 1.5km across town and stole a auto at gunpoint but he was soon arrested. Or should he serve his sentence in Mexico?
