On Friday, El Chapo (Sinaloa Cartel boss), who was America’s most wanted international fugitive, was apprehended and taken back into custody by the Mexican Marines after his dramatic escape from Mexico’s from Altiplano maximum-security prison. During his 6 months as a fugitive, El Chapo consented an interview with Sean Penn to create a biography for him. However, since the interview could not be done in-person, but Penn had managed to send questions and communicated with El Chapo via BBM.

Check out his interview that El Chapo had sent to Sean Penn here:


El Chapo’s own account would later be shared with me, through a BBM exchange he had with Kate

I will send my questions to El Chapo by BBM. He agrees that he will record his responses on videotape. Without being present, I could neither control the questioning nor prod for elaborations to his responses.

You can check out the whole writeup here on Rollingstone

Now, as for how El Chapo was eventually found and details surrounding this arrest is yet to be released, what do you guys think of it?
