Mexico investigating drug lord meeting for possible crimes

In a testament to globalization, the Tribune also reports that Chicago officials have nicknamed Guzman “Public Enemy No. 1″-which is how they once upon a time used to refer to Chicago gangster Al Capone”.

Love him or hate him, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is a man with style.

The firm, based in LA’s Fashion District, later said in another post that high traffic had temporarily crashed its website, Barabasmen.com.

This is the story of America’s most wanted druglord and his most wanted shirt.

Nothing says free man better than a very loud jazzy shirt.

In January 2012, the Mexican film and television star Kate del Castillo began a correspondence with El Chapo and the two developed a mutual trust of one another.

The messages provide a new window into the mysterious relationship between the then-fugitive and Del Castillo, who brokered the sitdown between Guzman and Penn, which authorities are investigating.

Guzman was re-arrested on Friday after six months on the run, and Mexican officials subsequently revealed his meeting with Penn and Del Castillo had helped authorities track him down.

“What’s that actor’s name?” the account identified as Guzman’s writes in one message.

Penn has said that he was not allowed to record the interview with Guzman and Castillo, although Guzman later sent Penn a video containing further answers to the actor’s questions when a follow-up interview could not be arranged in person, Reuters reported. His conversations with producers and del Castillo were part of what brought him down, officials said. Many expressed admiration and a longing for the next meeting, more than concern about the purported movie project.

“I don’t sleep much since I saw you”.

You wouldn’t mistake the mustachioed druglord for the bearded, coiffed model.

A scruffier look… Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is pictured after his recapture in a hotel in Sinaloa.

“The detention of the world’s most wanted criminal is a credit to the coordination of our institutions in favor of security and the rule of law”, Pena Nieto said.

Del Castillo sparked uproar in 2012 when she wrote on Twitter that she believes “more in Chapo Guzman than the governments”. “I’m very excited about our story….It’s all I think about”, she wrote on October 10. Stores in Mexico City on Wednesday sold piñatas resembling the pair, with “del Castillo” brandishing a pistol with “I love Chapo” written across it. She is a famous soap opera actress in Mexico who once played the head of a drug cartel.

In an article accompanying the photos, El Universal said Mexican agents were aware of and following del Castillo’s contacts with Guzman’s lawyers since at least June.

The leader of the Sinaloa Cartel – known for supplying cocaine, marijuana, heroin and methamphetamine to the United States – expanded the cartel’s power in the early 1990s through gang warfare and bloodshed.
