Eight years have passed since Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, was arrested in Los Mochis, Sinaloa. The hideout he used in Los Mochis, complete with a tunnel, now stands abandoned, vandalized, and strewn with garbage.
Grupo Reforma accessed the two-story residence, which boasts four bedrooms and five bathrooms, located at the intersection of Bulevar Jiquilpan and Río Quelite in Las Palmas neighborhood.
At the location, the aftermath of the skirmish that unfolded in the early hours of January 8, 2016, was evident.
This was the incident when El Chapo managed to evade capture through a tunnel, accompanied by his operator Orso Iván Gastélum Cruz (El Cholo). However, both were apprehended an hour later.
The pipeline linked the safe house's sewage system to the municipal drainage. Along this route, El Chapo maneuvered through a one-and-a-half-meter duct, successfully eluding the Mexican Navy.
Current status
The residence is currently filled with garbage, covered with graffiti, and has transformed into a shelter for both homeless individuals and drug addicts.
A receipt from the Drinking Water and Sewerage Board of the municipality of Ahome, addressed to Justo Cervantes Llanes, was discovered inside the property. The receipt reveals an outstanding debt of MXN$27,390 (US$1,613), accumulated over 53 months of unpaid water service.

In one of the ground-floor rooms of the house, a mirror conceals the door that served as an entry point to the tunnel through which El Chapo made his escape.
On the day of his capture, El Chapo managed to exit the tunnel near an Office Depot, where he proceeded to steal a car. He then drove through Jiquilpan and Adolfo López Mateos Boulevard before heading to Carretera Internacional. He was later apprehended by the Navy.

The only thing Archi is going to understand is “ hey compa”
DeleteIdiots the homeless and addicts are prob just there seeing if they can find any dope they left behind .....duh
ReplyDelete@9:08PM Couldn't hurt to snoop around for hidden money either. Pablo Escobar's nephew claims he found $18 million stuffed inside a wall of one of his uncle's old houses, though why he would even confess to that is a mystery at least to me. He says it's not the first time he's found money.

Money is put away buying agricultural acres get a cousin to put them under his name generations of chapós children’s children are going to be rich with all he left
DeleteWhy doesn't someone just buy it and renovate it?
ReplyDeleteNombre sir, that's asking for trouble... what if they claim it back... or if someone comes thinking you're part of El Chapo's family and do something to do.
Deleteit would also be a popular site for social media and no one wants that for their home. like that house from Breaking Bad... apparently people have thrown pizza on the roof and the owners have complained.
I assume the ownership is still questionable so why take the risk, there is plenty space and many nice houses all over mexico.
DeleteA lot of narcos old homes never resell because they have secret tunnels and rooms so by law they can’t be sold and remain abandoned. A lot of rafas old homes in Sonora were abandoned forever, I assume they’ve torn them down by now but who knows.
DeleteWhy did he leave the sierra for the city ?
ReplyDeleteHis wife didn’t like the mountain life
DeleteNo plastic surgery or fake designer Clothing in the Sierra - they got to eat the Cheese & beans … no sushi
Delete😂😂 what happened to his "Billions"? He cant even pay the water bill 😭
ReplyDeleteHe wants to pay it, but doesn't have access to his bank account. He tosses and turns at night in fear the water will be turned off.
Delete7:21 😂😂😂 thats actually a good argument for chapo.
DeleteChapo: hey sir judge can i get an early realease?
Judge: After all the killings, rapes, families you have destroy in mexico and the USA and all the snitching, there is no way you are gonna get out!
Chapo: but i have an outstanding water bill to take care of.
Judge: what!? Let me see if its true, o shit you are right, you have to take care of you water bill, chapo you are free to go, good luck on that water bill 🤣🤣🤣
Bahahaha!!!!

Lizard man is Alcapulco better now or is ALMOs government letting it go to hell? I heard the local criminal groups are lending money at hight interest for those that lost their homes in the hurricane.

DeleteActually, the gob is handing out shitloads of free rebuilding supplies, you gotta register and there's long lines in the hot sun to deal with la burocracia, the kicker is you have to come up with a photo of how your choza looked BEFORE the hurricane..
One hears anecdotally about the mob charging high vig for loans, I dunno the details, but life somehow goes on for these long-suffering local yokels, pandemia, earthquakes, tormentas, nothing can keep these scrawny costeños down for the count..
The bad guys burned up a couple úrbanos, little van ruta taxis, near my house this week, and now the drivers are on strike protesting, so now I'm on foot, as the winds from Otis blew my piece of shit Italika moto into the swimming pool, where I woulda left it, but the owner of my property got some kids to fish it out, jaja..

I have family in corpus criste you should see the hotel Selena was murdered or her old house. It's written on from top to bottom. And shit all over the side walk at her old house. You wanna live in that. I assume this is a similar situation.
ReplyDeleteThe government should bulldoze it and turn it into something that would benefit the community, like an OXXO or a SIX.

Hey do you sell real estate in West Hollywood or San Francisco any chance
DeleteYou are a treasure my friend!
DeleteHis new place is much easier to take care of.
ReplyDeleteThe upkeep on these safe houses is killing his cartel financially. In a twist of fate, the very drugs he pedals to the locals, now destroy his favorite hideout.
ReplyDeleteNo es la primera ocasión que veo adeudos así en los recibos de varios tipos que andan movidos.
ReplyDeleteHis capture from this house shows how inept they are.....he should have always had a common car that was bullet proof nearby especially at the end of where he was going to pop out.....very poor planning.
ReplyDeletethey were on his ass though after he escaped..its different when youre wanted versus actively hunted like he was then.he probably didnt have the luxury of time and planning
DeleteWhy does Chapo have burgers.
ReplyDeleteSolo falta que el pendejo de AMLO le de condolencias a la casa de El Chapo por lo perdida que esta.
ReplyDeletePor eso Mexico no se compone
Chapo must have forgotten to turn off the sprinklers. Too many things on his mind.
ReplyDeleteEn Mexico casi nadie tiene sistema de riego 5:58
