El Chapo Felony Fashions … Capture Launches Craze
Mexican authorities are now investigating Del Castillo and Penn over their interactions with Guzman, who reportedly had no idea who the Oscar victor was.
U.S. officials said if there is a competition among U.S. Attorneys to try Guzman, Justice Department headquarters, and ultimately Lynch herself, may decide who tries him first.
The New York Times reports on messages from El Chapo’s phone, which show that he was far more interested in a Mexican soap star than in making a movie with Penn.
“It’s a lie, absurd speculation from Mr. Penn”, Juan Pablo Badillo, a member of Guzman’s legal team, revealed to Reuters in a Wednesday interview.
“Our only relationship came when the picture with Sean Penn was published by Rolling Ston”, they said. “I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats” – the statement that Badillo is now claiming to be falsified.
Mexican authorities are stepping up security measures at the maximum security prison where drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is being held, the same prison he escaped from six months ago. Notably, a lot of people either got very angry at or showered a lot of praise upon Penn for having the stones to sit face to face with one of the most unsafe men on the planet and pick his brain about business and morality. In Mexico, reporters have labeled the story “Sean Penn’s fart”, referring to the story itself, not his flatulent slip in front of the fugitive drug lord.
