Jul 13, 2015Mexican Kingpin “El Chapo” Escapes from Prison, again!

Mexico’s most notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, broke out of a high-security prison on Saturday night for the second time, escaping in a tunnel built right under his cell, and heaping embarrassment on President Enrique Pena Nieto.
The kingpin snuck out of the prison through a subterranean tunnel more than 1.5 km (1 mile) long that ended at an abandoned property near the local town.
Our gallery of his first tunnel escape: The Secret Underground Tunnels Of Drug Kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
