Sean Penn on back foot after shaking hands with Mexican drug kingpin

Starring role… Mexican actress Kate del Castillo received a number of endearing messages from drug lord El Chapo in the lead up to the Rolling Stones interview.

Papa: “What is that actor’s name?” Penn also defended his interview with the drug lord, telling the Associated Press, he has nothing to hide.

During the operation, code named Tlatelolco as it was supposed to occur on the October 2 anniversary of a famous 1968 Mexico City massacre, one of the marines had Guzman in his sites, but chose not to pull the trigger as Chapo had a young girl in his arms, Loret de Mola said. She was identified as “Ermoza”.

Colleague: “I’m checking so I can give you the exact date”.

“I’m more excited about you than the story”.

It was Guzman who first approached del Castillo, after she posted positive messages online about him.

“There’s more – all of the eyes of the world put on him, therefore I don’t think so”, Edmonson said.

Mexican Minister Miguel Angel Osorio Chong declined to say anything about them and said the Attorney General’s Office would comment on the matter soon. Sean teamed up with actress Kate del Castillo, 43, to conduct the interview.

Guzman’s defence now has three days to present arguments against extradition and 20 days to present supporting evidence, beyond the plethora of other appeals they have already started filing. “I look forward to sharing my story with you”, she wrote.

Penn didn’t have to tell law enforcement about his October meeting, according to legal scholars interviewed by the Los Angeles Times.

Colleague: “Sean Penn. The one who made the movie ’21 Grams'”.

In the article, Penn recounts how he interviewed the fugitive cartel leader in a remote undisclosed location in Mexico.

When the dust settled, five gunmen were dead, one marine wounded and six suspects detained.

The drug lord is now at the Altiplano Prison where he escaped in July.

The mag first published the text of Penn’s exclusive interview with El Chapo this past Saturday, January 9, a day after the kingpin was recaptured by authorities after a shoot-out in a safe house in the residential coastal town of Los Mochis, Sinaloa.

The explanation might simply have been infatuation – something that would not be out of character for Guzman. During the raid marines also arrested one man (seen on video) and found two women in a bathroom. “What’s new about that?” He rejected the government’s assertion that Guzman was being moved regularly from cell to cell as a security precaution.

Rose noted that his long-standing relationship with Penn is what allowed him to meet with the actor, who’s remained relatively quiet since his El Chapo meeting has been splashed in the news.

The article reports that Guzman defends his work at the head of the world’s biggest drug trafficking organization.

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