Why do they suspect that joaquin el chapo guzman lorded drug?
Joaquín Guzmán Loera, (born April 4, 1957) also known as Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán (“Shorty”), is a Mexican drug lord who heads an international drug trafficking organization referred to as the Sinaloa Cartel, named for the Mexican pacific coast state of Sinaloa where it was initially formed. He became Mexico’s top drug kingpin in 2003 after the arrest of his rival Osiel Cardenas of the Gulf Cartel. During the 1980s, Guzmán was associated with Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (known as El Padrino), head of the dominant drug trafficking group in Mexico at that time. After Félix Gallardo’s capture, Guzman left the organization and soon gained notoriety as director of his own criminal enterprise. Guzmán is wanted by the governments of Mexico, U.S.A. and by the INTERPOL; so far he has evaded operations to capture him. In 2009, Joaquin Guzman was listed at 701 on Forbes’ list of wealthiest people in the world with an estimated net worth of $1 billion. Sources:
