Mexico: Motion Sensors Turned Off, Facilitating Drug Lord's Escape

  • 9 years ago
As residents in the Mexican state of Sinaloa celebrated the prison break of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman two weeks ago, new evidence has surfaced on how the powerful cartel leader was able to escape. The Defense Ministry reported that prison officials had turned off motion sensors in the maximum security penitentiary housing Guzman two months previously, allowing the construction of the tunnel through which he escaped. Five intelligence officials have thus far been detained. teleSUR
