Arresting El Chapo, the Houdini of the drug world | 60 Minutes Australia

Today in 2016, infamous drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman was arrested for the final time.

The leader of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, the largest and most powerful drug trafficking organisation in the world, had escaped from maximum security prison twice - in 2001 through a laundry cart, and in 2015 through a mile-long tunnel with an entry from his prison cell shower.

The 2015 escape resulted in a bloody third arrest in January 2016, after attempting to run away through a tunnel that led to a sewer system and stealing a faulty car.

At the height of his drug business, El Chapo was the richest drug lord in the world, with over $14 billion to his name. His trade relied heavily on his elaborate tunnel network snaking underneath the US-Mexico border.
