He was known as the Robin Hood of modern day drug trade, but after
Mexico's most notorious drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman stepped into a prison shower he slipped
into a tunnel to escape from a maximum-security prison (Altiplano Federal Prison) - just after authorities promised he would never escape from them again.He had escaped in 2001 from a high security prison before he was arrested later in 2014 at a beach resort.
Authorities said they later discovered a lighted and ventilated tunnel nearly a mile long
that stretched from the prison to a half-built house, where
investigators were searching for signs of Guzman's whereabouts Sunday.
Now a massive manhunt is underway to find Guzman, According to Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto: "This
represents, without a doubt, an affront to the Mexican state, but also I
am confident that the institutions of the Mexican state, particularly
those in charge of public safety, are at the level, with the strength
and determination, to recapture this criminal."
