As Allies Fell, Noose Closed on ‘El Chapo’ Guzman

Borderland Beat

The Washington Post
By The Associated Press


For 13 years Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman watched from the rugged mountains of western Mexico as authorities captured or killed the leaders of every group that challenged his Sinaloa cartel’s spot at the top of global drug trafficking.

Unscathed and his legend growing, the stocky son of a peasant farmer grabbed a slot on the Forbes’ billionaires’ list and a folkloric status as the capo who grew too powerful to catch. Then, late last year, authorities started closing on the inner circle of the world’s most-wanted drug lord.

The son of one of his two top henchmen, Ismael “Mayo” Zambada, was arrested at a border crossing in Nogales, Arizona in November as part of a sprawling, complex investigation involving as many as 100 wiretaps, according to his lawyer.

A month later, one of the Sinaloa cartel’s main lieutenants was gunned down by Mexican helicopter gunships in a resort town a few hours drive to the east. Less than two weeks passed before police at Schipol Airport in Amsterdam arrested one of the cartel’s top assassins, a man who handled transport and logistics for Guzman.

This month the noose started tightening. Federal forces began sweeping through Culiacan, capital of the Pacific coast state of Sinaloa — closing streets, raiding houses, seizing automatic weapons, drugs and money, and arresting a series of men Mexican officials carefully described to reporters as top officials for Zambada.

But the target was bigger.

On Feb. 13, a man known as “19,” whom officials called the new chief of assassins for Zambada, was arrested with two other men on the highway to the coastal resort city of Mazatlan. Four days later, a man described as a member of the Sinaloa cartel’s upper ranks was seized along with 4,000 hollowed-out cucumbers and bananas stuffed with cocaine. In the middle of this week, a 43-year-old known by the nickname “20” and described as Zambada’s chief of security, was arrested transporting more cocaine-stuffed produce.

By the middle of the week at least 10 Sinaloa henchmen had been seized.

A U.S. law enforcement official said Saturday that at least some were actually security for Guzman, and authorities used them to obtain information that helped lead to the head of the cartel. The official was not authorized to talk to journalists and spoke on condition of anonymity.


Agents learned that Guzman, 56, had started coming down from his isolated mountain hideouts to enjoy the comforts of Culiacan and Mazatlan, said Michael S. Vigil, a former senior DEA official who was briefed on the operation.

“That was a fatal error,” Vigil said.

Working on the information gleaned from Guzman’s bodyguards, Mexican marines swarmed the house of Guzman’s ex-wife but struggled to batter down the steel-reinforced door, according to Mexican authorities and former U.S. law-enforcement officials briefed on the operation.

As the marines forced their way in, Guzman fled through a secret door beneath a bathtub down a corrugated steel ladder into a network of tunnels and sewer canals that connect to six other houses in Culiacan, the officials said.

Guzman fled south to Mazatlan. On his heels, a team of U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration agents set up a base of operations with Mexican marines in the city, according to the current U.S. law-enforcement official.

Early Saturday morning, Guzman’s reign came to an end without a shot fired. Marines closed the beachside road in front of the Miramar condominiums, a 10-story, pearl-colored building with white balconies overlooking the Pacific and a small pool in front.


Smashing down the door of an austerely decorated fourth-floor condo, they seized the country’s most-wanted man at 6:40 a.m., a few minutes after the sun rose.

A neighbor who declined to identify himself for fear of retaliation said the apartment had only been occupied for two days. An employee of the building’s cleaning staff said that clothes were strewn across the floor and bed in the condo, and humble domestic appliances — a microwave, a floor fan, a flat-screen TV on a small table — were left inside.


Photos of the apartment published by a local newspaper showed cheap and unglamorous furnishings. Inside the condo, the photos showed little food or liquor: just a couple of dozen eggs on a shelf. A bag from a low-end supermarket lay on the floor.



Guzman was caught with an unidentified woman, said one official not authorized to be quoted by name, who added that the DEA and Marshals Service were “heavily involved” in the capture. Mexican officials said, however, that Guzman was detained along with a man they identified as Carlos Manuel Hoo Ramirez.


Carlos Manuel Hoo Ramirez.

A U.S. law-enforcement official with direct knowledge of the killing of Zambada’s main lieutenant in November described it as part of a concerted binational effort to decapitate the Sinaloa cartel. The organization became the focus of U.S. and Mexican attention after a string of arrests and slaying of the heads of other cartels, most notably the seizure of brutal Zetas cartel head Miguel Angel Trevino Morales in July.

“Who are the only big fish left in the country? We can’t just twiddle our thumbs,” said the official who was not authorized to speak to journalists and spoke on condition of anonymity. “Now we focus on the biggest elephant in the room. It’s by virtue of default.”

Guzman’s arrest appears certain to all but quash U.S. concerns that President Enrique Pena Nieto’s administration has been reducing cooperation with U.S. law-enforcement, a hallmark of his predecessor Felipe Calderon’s six-year term.


“This shows that cooperation is working, and that it’s discreet and based on intelligence-gathering,” said Raul Benitez, a security expert at Mexico’s National Autonomous University. “This is, without a doubt, the most important success of Pena Nieto’s administration.”

By early afternoon, Guzman was marched across the tarmac of the Mexican marines’ hanger at the Mexico City airport.

The man who eluded Mexican authorities for more than a decade looked pudgy, bowed and middle-aged in a white button-down shirt and beltless black jeans.

After his 2001 escape in a laundry truck from a prison he came to control through bribery, Guzman was rumored to live everywhere from Argentina to Mexico’s “Golden Triangle,” a mountainous, marijuana-growing region straddling the northern states of Sinaloa, Durango and Chihuahua.

The Sinaloa Cartel grew deadlier and more powerful, taking over much of the lucrative trafficking routes along the U.S. border.

Guzman was hit with multiple federal drug trafficking indictments in the U.S. as his drug empire stretched throughout North America and extended branches into Europe and Australia. Guzman’s play for power against local cartels caused a bloodbath in Tijuana and made Ciudad Juarez one of the deadliest cities in the world.

In 2013, he was named “Public Enemy No. 1” by the Chicago Crime Commission, only the second person to get that distinction after U.S. prohibition-era crime boss Al Capone.

He appeared in only a handful of photos during his years on the run, staring straight into the camera of an anonymous photographer and defiantly brandishing an automatic rifle.


On Saturday, as he was walked before the press, his hands were cuffed behind him and a masked marine pushed down his head with a black-gloved hand, as if to make clear that Guzman is now under state control.

Guzman said nothing, and looked subdued as he reappeared before the world for a few seconds before disappearing into the cargo bay of a helicopter waiting to take him to prison.

  8. Good job Marines and FDA! This shows that no cartell leader or cartell member is "safe".

    Keep the pressure at all levels and they will crumble.

    This beast has at least four legs: producers, distributors, users and corruption. Beat one leg and the beast will limp. Cut one leg and the beast falls.

    I think it will take at least a year to see the impact. Will the Sinaola crumble?Will the pressure increase on all cartells? Will they fall apart? Will there be a change of attitude towards drugs and corruption? Will the good guys or the bad guys in government step up? Will the Autodefensas grow and stay clean? What will the US do? Only time will tell.

  13. Don't you love it when bloodsucking liars are exposed?
    This is the former wife of Chapo, who objected when she and their children were placed on the kingpin list last year, and she campaigned in the press I a PR blitz, of the innocence of she and her children.

    Indignant, and never breaking a smile, she protested that she nor her children have any knowledge of Chapo, his whereabouts or otherwise, and have not seen him in years....

    extracted from Buggs post:

    "Mexican marines swarmed the house of Guzman’s ex-wife but struggled to batter down the steel-reinforced door, according to Mexican authorities and former U.S. law-enforcement officials briefed on the operation.

    As the marines forced their way in, Guzman fled through a secret door beneath a bathtub down a corrugated steel ladder into a network of tunnels "

  27. Did not do anything to change his looks? How did they get checked up without someone seeing him? A lot of questions that we never will have answers too. I believe that the USA knew all along where he was at any minute. The people of the world still will want their dope, they can and will pay good money for it. It's out with the old, in with the new. Maybe the powers to be had sucked Chapo for all he had and now it's time for a new king. I hope all the high tech the USA used here in this action will never end up in the hands of ones that will use it to take total control. 1984 was true, only the time was off, try 2014.

  29. Now the U.S.A. govt/intelligence agencies and the Mexico PRI govt. are supposed to get a pad in the back -- not!! These are the same people that got the people of Mexico in trouble in the first place. If Mexico had provided the people of Mexico with enough opportunities ans educated them, there would never have been a Chapo or any other cartel in the first place. The U.S. govt. beholden to their corporate/ trillionaire/billionaire masters aided the chaos inorder to allow their masters to profit from the laundering of the proceeds from drug trafficking and arm sales. The only thing the U.S. govt. wants for Mexicans is for them/us to kill themselves/ourselves and to put them/us in prison. Mexico has more territory/resources than Germany and Japan yet lags way behind economical and in education. We'll done PRI/CIA/DEA. You captured another drug lord at the expense of 90,000 deaths. The PRI run slave state will now continue with business as usual.

  30. This like most of the war on drugs will only make things worse..when you cut the head off of the brains of these orgs..those waiting to take over are not brainiacs..they are assassins who don't understand that this is a business. In the old days there were rules carried out by 5-10 leaders who understood that the biz needs to be clandestine. They did not allow murder of woman,kids or public execution. Things happened but it was done outside the public eye and only involved people in the game. The war on drugs has splintered the trade into smaller groups who think with their guns not their heads. The number of deaths attributed to the war on drugs has been stuck at under 100K since Calderon was in his 3rd year of administration. The real number is well over 300K and likely closer to 500K. It is a losing battle. Cutting off the heads only leads to more violence and until the demand side is dealt with the money to be made will always dictate that their are people willing to die and kill to get their piece.

  58. I think a lot of plazas will heat up by others seeing this as an opportunity to take over while disorder follows in the wake of the arrest. Now my question is, why can't they find La Tuta? The authorities can do what they want... it is a matter of motivation as in Chapo's case. It takes little intelligence to do what these authorities - Mexico and US - have done when "the man on the street" knows well where all of the narcos are, not just the capos. This is what makes the who concept of narco war in Mexico a joke. At the same time Chapo and his associates were taken down in the past few days I was having my luggage searched by military retens. I was on the bus and of course nothing to be found. Everything that happens is for show, including this arrest. Nothing will change except a new spike in violence probably involving guns brought to Mexico by associates of the biggest capos, Obama and Eric Holder.

  67. It's official. The War On Drugs has been won. DEA will now layoff 3000 staff and save the taxpayer billions.
    Sheet. Can't have that. Next week the DEA will introduce America to a new and more dangerous Chapo. This will ensure no layoffs and the billions in salaries and retirement money will keep flowing with the river of drugs into America.

    1. I'm sorry was Mayo Zambada arrested recently too because he's just as important if not more important as far as from a strategical point if view as chapo.

  70. what if it's not him? let's think, that he spent time and money to find someone that looks like him, it is possible. I once saw a picture of a guy that looked exactly like me, freaked me out! ....and his double is into trannys? what a story if it is true....maybe he IS smart or a dumbshit with a DNA test to prove it.

  71. Since I'm willing to bet most in here don't understand or begin to understand the politics of mexico and narcos I'll keep it brief. Don't believe everything you see. El PRI which is a mexican political party like democrats etc wouldn't just let Chapo arrested with the strong possibility of him giving high ranking members who were taking bribes. No, it just doesn't go down like that. Either Chapo arranged for his surrender by the way he was arrested and months later we out of no where hear he had a heart attack or just died in a strange way or something within the PRI happened and heads in both Mexico City will start falling. I don't believe we have heard the craziest shit just yet in the arrest. Get your popcorn out folks this will be a crazy ride.

  73. This article is from the Washington Post, very cleverly constructed, accurate but not true, to be taken with a grain of salt!

  75. All we have to say is NEXT! There are plenty of people who can step up to the role. You have Rafael Caro Quintero (Uncle who showed the Chapo the ropes and who handed over the empire when he was arrested) who just got out from prison, Mayo Zambada (Compadre of el Chapo), or any of the other kids of el Chapo.
    It's not over till it's over.

  76. It is my pride and joy to see comments about bigger fish are popping up on our BB site, and that chapo will not be remembered as a kidnapper and heartless murderer of people as the pinche lavacarros, even la barbie would give the girlfriends of his rivals bus fare to go back home, z40 would feed them to the dogs...

  77. @11:09 ...el chapo will be missed by friend and foe, z40, woll not be missed by anyone, chapo was not known for kidnappings or extortions and neither was his organization, the zetas are known for being a miserly bunch of motherfuckers and heartless muderers, and for killing hundreds of poor migrants frim central america..

  78. @1:20 a.m the zetas could have rounded up a bunch of homeless crackheads off the streets of chigago and got the equivelent of their sicarios and security!

  79. From the Article -

    "On Saturday, as he was walked before the press, his hands were cuffed behind him and a masked marine pushed down his head with a black-gloved hand, as if to make clear that Guzman is now under state control."




    Word on the street inside the Golden Triangle (Sinaloa & Durango) is that the “blacked glove marine” has a substantial price on his head as will be killed for his actions. Eventually his identity will be discovered and he will be killed. (I personally believe this will happen)

    I also understand the bad guys here are also talking about the US participation of the DEA, Marshals and other Federal agencies and are planning retaliations for their (US Agents) participation. What that retaliation might be I don’t know, but only time will tell if these guys are just talking smack.

    I have heard of confirmed “new” shootings inside Durango and other areas where up until Chapo’s arrest things were calm and once controlled. Many people I’ve talked to respected Chapo and believe Chapo kept peace here through his bribes, and retaliation of crimes against the innocent people. I am interested in hearing of any other CONFIRMED reports of shootings or other increases of violence due to the fall out of Chapos arrest.
