I congratulate the government of Mexico in it's dedication to protect the people. El Chapo is responsible for a drug cartel that has killed thousands of innocent people in Mexico.
...But on Friday, (click here) nearly six months after his escape, Joaquín Guzmán Loera,
the Mexican drug lord known as El Chapo, was captured again after a
fierce gun battle near the coast in his home state, Sinaloa, Mexican
officials said. “Mission accomplished: We have him,” President Enrique
Peña Nieto announced.

The
arrest ended one of the most extensive manhunts undertaken by the
government, involving every law enforcement agency in the country and
help from the United States....
...The
government said late Friday that it had been watching a home in Los
Mochis for more than a month when law enforcement officers finally saw
movement on Thursday. Officials said that during the ensuing raid, Mr.
Guzmán managed to slip away through the sewers, and then he surfaced,
stole a car and was apprehended. The authorities took him to a hotel to
wait for backup.
The
capture of the drug lord concludes a deeply embarrassing chapter for
the government of Mr. Peña Nieto, which has been waylaid by a series of
security and corruption scandals that reached their low point with Mr.
Guzmán’s daring escape....
...With operations that span much of Mexico, his organization has specialized in smuggling tons of drugs into the United States through vast networks of tunnels deep beneath the border. His success has made him among the richest drug dealers in history: Forbes magazine estimated his net worth at close to $1 billion....
He might HAVE BEEN worth $1 billion US, but, Mexico has the right to confiscate every dollar of that money. It is blood money. Thousands of Mexicans have died due to the viciousness of the drug cartel, that money is not his and it never was.
I find it insulting and disgusting that Forbes even reports his worth. What has Forbes become a secret admirer of organized crime?
