Mexican Marines Wanted to Capture El Chapo During Meeting With Sean Penn

Chivis Martinez Borderland Beat  TY Gus  Source


A year before Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the drug lord better known as “El Chapo,” was arrested, officials had a plan to capture him while actor Sean Penn was visiting him, the New York Post reports.

According to the newspaper, Mexican marines known as the Naval Infantry Force, planned to raid his hideout and take him into custody in October 2015.

Upon learning of the plan to take him down, Ray Donovan, head of the Drug Enforcement Administration special-operations division who had been overseeing the hunt for Guzmán since his latest escape, wanted the raid to be called off.

The Mexican marines, who are an elite, U.S.-trained force, wanted to move forward.

Penn was joined at the meeting by Mexican soap-opera star Kate del Castillo, who organized the meeting with Guzmán. The actors wanted to discuss drug trafficking. The drug lord wanted to chat about making a movie about his life, according to the newspaper.

The DEA wiretapped Guzmán’s phone and listened to plans on the sit-down.


The events leading up to the night were detailed in a new book by Alan Feuer, “El Jefe: The Stalking of Chapo Guzmán.”

Set to hit book shelves on Aug. 25, the book states that Guzmán was unaware his phone conversations were being monitored by the DEA.

According to conversations highlighted in the book, Guzmán didn’t agree to the meeting until after he Googled Penn. Penn didn’t have any intentions of making a movie with or about Guzmán. He traveled to a remote location near the city of Cosalá in the Mexican state of Sinaloa to interview Guzmán for Rolling Stone magazine, a detail he withheld from the kingpin, according to the book.


The meeting was facilitated by del Castillo. Guzmán was a fan of her work. He previously offered her full rights to his life story. She was given a special phone so she could communicate directly with Guzmán via text message.

Feuer writes, “it was undeniably mental that the NSA [National Security Agency] — the NSA — had used its secret hardware to eavesdrop on the world’s most wanted criminal vetting Sean Penn’s Hollywood career.”

Upon learning the Mexican marines wanted to move forward with their plan to capture Guzmán while the actors were visiting, Feuer writes that “Donovan was stunned.”

“Their attitude appeared to be: F- -k Sean Penn, the raid goes on as planned,” he penned.

Bad weather prevented the plan from being executed, according to the author.

He told The Post that the “Americans felt incredibly lucky that the weather made it impossible to launch the attack.”

“It removed the possibility of Sean Penn’s name being splashed across front pages everywhere as a casualty of a drug-war capture operation. ‘US Film Star Killed in Mexico Raid’ would not have been a good look for the DEA,” he told the publication.

In his article for Rolling Stone about his encounter with El Chapo, Penn mentioned the storm that "blew through the mountains with sheets of monsoon rain and “great bolts of lightning … like flash-bang grenades.”

Later, Penn said he had “terrible regret” about his meeting with El Chapo. He said the conversation didn’t “contribute to this conversation on the war on drugs” in an interview with "60 Minutes."

In January 2016, the Mexican marines caught up with Guzmán. He is serving a life sentence in Colorado at the country’s highest-security prison.

Upon his arrest, he was putting “the finishing touches on [his] movie project,” Feuer writes. “He had lovingly assembled an 18-page promotional package for the film.”

Though he is behind bars, Feuer told the newspaper Guzmán is still “trying to peddle his movie from prison.”

    3. Sean Penn s politics are definitely one of a useful idiot for sure...but calling him a failed actor living off bread crumbs and his hook up with Madonna is amazingly ignorant as well...dude has a net worth over $150 million and has been in over 53 films... his first film being in 81 and a couple more famous in Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Colors were well before hooking up with Madonna and has done numerous films while winning numerous awards since her....damn I wish I failed that hard and was able to make those crumbs....

    7. Chapos peeps are not dangerous specially in U.S. soil.
      His nutthuggers on the other hand are the ones that can literally kill for Chapo all because they worship the ground he walks on.
      This is seen in Mexico plenty. Some desperate idiot motherfuckers simply need a hero to believe in

    10. Penn praised communist dictator Hugo Chavez who murdered and starved my people. Fuc× that guy! I wish Marina caught el lloron chapo. Penn took on the risk of meeting so if he died in the crossfire, so be it.

  2. But but but...wait!!! There was a Desperate post about The Prez’s hermano, in a video, doing what he should never get filmed doing....then *Poof*...the post was no more. The book mentioned in this article sounds interesting; The hope is that anything new provided by the author cites government officials about the intricacies of the hunt, not more details pulled from Hollywood lifers and press briefings.

  5. El Chapo really must have been tired of hiding. His last two captures were in big cities and he meets with actors for a movie. If he simply wanted to be free he would have been in the mountains from the second he escaped until now like back in the 2001 escape. He was willing to risk it all for this and that show me he was just tired of hiding.

    2. You have to remember even El Mayo said that El Chapo took many risk..also with Chapo being out and about gave him a lot more control over his faction of the cartel and that was always the reason Chapo was able to be an equal with El Mayo..saying Mayo was the supreme leader is silly..everyone has seen once Chapo got arrested everything went up in smoke and everyone is still fighting with each other within the Sinaloa cartel today.. and its because El Mayo stays in the mountains and never had as tight of grip like Chapo had over his people..when Mayo had his sons and brother operating things were better..but around 2013-2014 Mayo had the weaker faction of the cartel and Chapo had the much stronger faction within the cartel with his sons and brother still operating to this day..and YES Mayo gave up Chapo just for that reason..I say all that to say YES Chapo hated hiding in the mountains..but he was only caught because El Mayo gave him up which is why Los Menores to this day are at war with mayo and his people..El Mayo was the supreme leader of the cartel maybe around 2001-2009/2013 but once his sons,brother,and Chino were arrested El Chapo took that spot just because of the power of his faction..2014 Chapo had Los Damaso,his four sons(Los Menores) and his brother..Damaso even took Baja cali sur from Mayo jajaja..but I can't stress enough that Chapo not liking to hide in the mountains had nothing to do with being caught..everything was payed off and he had the okay..but El Mayo giving Chapo up somehow got that 100million dollar deal Chapo made thrown right out the window..long live El Senor Chapo #701

    7. Anyone who thinks Mayo was #1 doesnt have a clue. Chapo was supreme leader over all factions of The Federation. Mayo was just a distraction for the authorities, some say he has been dead for over a decade. His voice has never been caught on radio or phone wich is absurd.

      Dead for over a decade? LMAO!
      Stop making shit up! Where are your sources? He has not been heard because he is not stupid. He cares about making money and not bringing attention to himself.

    The Guzman dinasty will forever control Mexico.
    Los Menores have now switched from Blackberry smartphones to 6G tactical smartphones these are highly encripted with a new technology developed in conjuntion with Snowden and the Mossad that can avoid detection from NSA satellite or interception from eavesdropping software.the next generation of UHF .

    Rip all the CDS operatives KIA in the raid.

    Stay Strong Patron Chapo Guzman
    Animo Señor Cholo.

  13. This is such a dumb article by the source. Of course they are going to spice up the book and narratives for sales! You think the Mexican Gov wouldn’t of moved in on chapo if they had his location 100%? Yes they would’ve gone in. They wouldn’t of cared of Penn or Kate. So stupid

  14. How long has the US known of Chapos whereabouts? I find this interesting. We often give Chapo credit for not being captured for so long, but the DEA seemed to be keeping tabs on him the whole time.

  15. Sean Penn is a cia agent. I bet he killed hugo Chavez too
