Guzman, actress talked of ‘dream’ meeting in texts

In the article, posted on the publication’s website on January 9, a day after “El Chapo” was recaptured by Mexican authorities in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, we have access to a video interview that the leader of the Sinaloa Drug Cartel recorded from an undisclosed location a few months ago.

Penn also noted that there was no violence in El Chapo’s escapes from custody.

And now, Guzman goes back to jail, and Penn is probably going to have to speak with the Mexican government at some point. Del Castillo has not commented, but Penn wrote in Rolling Stone that Guzman was interested in having a movie made of his life and wanted del Castillo, who had portrayed a drug trafficker in a Mexican television series, involved in the project.

Now for the first time since Guzman’s capture, del Castillo spoke out publicly in a tweet Wednesday.

Mexico’s most wanted drug boss was apprehended after Friday’s fierce pre-dawn gunfight in Guzman’s native state of Sinaloa.

Late Monday evening, Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto referenced Guzman’s capture in a short new year’s message to the nation.

Mexico’s willingness to extradite Guzman is a sharp turnaround from the last time he was captured in 2014, when then-Attorney General Jesus Murillo Karam said the extradition would happen only after he finished his sentence in Mexico in “300 or 400 years”.

A Los Angeles, California based clothing store has begun advertising flashy blue, baroque-print shirts like the one Guzman wore in a photograph with Penn.

Actor Sean Penn lied when he reported that Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman boasted to him about his drug shipments and money laundering in an article published Saturday, one of Guzman’s lawyers claimed Wednesday.

However he sidestepped the question when asked directly about Penn.

The “CBS This Morning” anchor announced plans for an upcoming interview with Penn.

He replied: “I’m more excited about you than the story”. Later messages between the two appear to have been retrieved from a Blackberry device that a lawyer bought for del Castillo on Guzman’s orders.

Images released to a Mexican newspaper showed that Penn and Del Castillo were under surveillance.

On October 10, after they met, the actress wrote: “I don’t sleep much since I saw you“. But the process could take a year or more. And the circumstances surrounding how Mexican authorities said they found him were just as intriguing. “I think Penn has violated this law and can be charged with that”.

In October, the same month Penn interviewed him, authorities said they nearly caught Guzman but he slipped away.
