In a statement, Mexico’s security Cabinet provided no details on when or exactly where the operation took place.
In a statement, the Mexican government said it had worked with worldwide agencies to capture Guzman, and that in recent weeks, efforts had been focused on the northwest of the country, not far from Guzman’s native turf of Sinaloa state. That’s because the escaped criminal is this year’s best-selling Halloween mask there. He later escaped from the prison. According to NBC News, US drug agents intercepted cell phone signals that led Mexican authorities to a ranch near the small city of Cosala in the state of Sinaloa.
Marines raided the ranch in helicopters, but were forced to turn back after taking fire from suspected Guzman security forces. Guzman and his henchmen are believed to have fled in all-terrain vehicles, the network said. However each one week & a half after the raid, officers are losing hope in that Guzman’s capture is imminent.
In mid July, Mexican officials confirmed that 10,000 members of law enforcement were working to find the escaped crime boss, whose life of luxury continues on for his children.
