Sean Penn: Nothing to hide over Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman interview

He said Guzman wanted Mexican actress Kate del Castillo, who facilitated the meeting between the men, involved in the project.

Joaquin “El Chapo” GuzmanThe US Spanish-language television network Univision announced Tuesday it will air a series later this year on the life of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, written by a former Colombian trafficker.

Gomez said while extraditing drug kingpins takes on average a year, it could take up to five years in Guzman’s case.

He wrote that he was flown aboard a small plane that had a device that jams radar.

The Mexican newspaper El Universal published 10 photographs Monday that appeared to show Penn being monitored as he arrived in Mexico.

Del Castillo’s reported involvement in the Rolling Stone interview has given the actress substantial exposure in the U.S. media and overseas.

A Mexican federal law enforcement official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not permitted to comment on the issue, told the Associated Press the Penn interview led authorities to Guzman in the area of Tamazula, a rural part of Durango state.

Mexican authorities had said they captured Guzman partly because his representatives contacted filmmakers and actors about making his biopic.

Extraditing Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the United States could take a year or more, Mexican authorities said on Monday, while the slippery drug lord waits in the prison he previously escaped from.

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

Sean has been facing a lot of controversy after interviewing the infamous cartel head in October 2015 for a Rolling Stone article published on January 9. “Guzman’s gunmen tried to flee through here”, an official from the attorney general’s office said.

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.

“It’s bad enough of an embarrassment”, says independent analyst and author Sylvia Longmire, “that he escaped the last time they were able to apprehend him”.

After firing off several rounds, the soldiers then advance into the sparse room, where the marines found two dead bodies.

“Now in terms of how an interview like that gets set up and journalistic ethics, I figure you’re probably in a better position to opine on that”, Obama told “Today” host Matt Lauer. In the article, Guzman is quoted as telling Penn that he supplies “more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world”.

Guzman’s lawyer, Juan Pablo Badillo, has vowed to appeal to the Supreme Court if necessary. “I think that he’s going to be brought to the United States”.

According to CNN, Penn and Castillo are now being investigated for the meeting with El Chapo and could face charges for aiding and abetting a fugitive.
