Penn – enacting the real-life role of a reporter for Rolling Stone – conducted what he apparently hoped would be a clandestine interview in October with Guzman, who was hiding in Mexico after escaping a maximum security prison there in July. “Weeds” and “Bordertown” both rely heavily on these themes, and del Castillo also played a drug trafficker in the popular telenovela “La Reina del Sur“.

Asked whether Penn or del Castillo were under investigation, Gomez said a “new line” of inquiry had been opened that could include them or Guzman’s lawyers, and could involve “covering up” for Guzman “or something bigger”. The New York Post reports that the men were involved in transporting the pair to El Chapo’s secret location.
Well, now you too can get the look, as it’s been revealed that the El Chapo freedom shirt comes from LA based menswear retailer Barabas.
“I’ll take care of you“.
“I want you with all my heart”, he wrote.
On one upstairs bed the marines found four DVDs from the series La Reina del Sur, starring Kate del Castillo, the Mexican actress who put Guzman in contact with the American actor Sean Penn.
The text messages also show Guzman’s concerns that people who knew him were being monitored – turns out he was right.
“This was an nearly obsessive interest that turned into another incentive to go down to the city, where he wanted to meet with her”, the official said.
To prevent a much-anticipated escape attempt, authorities have reinforced the floor of El Chapo’s cell and stationed two additional elite guards on watch with personal cameras at all times to eliminate blind spots in his cell.
Guzman was nabbed early Friday morning after a shootout in the city of Los Mochis that killed five of his men and wounded one marine.
Mexico has agreed to send Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman to the United States for prosecution.
Sanchez said the government “regrets any acts of collaboration between any citizen and members of organized crime” or that a Mexican citizen “does not share” information that would help arrest a criminal.
Del Castillo took to Twitter late Wednesday to make her first public statement since the meeting with Guzman became public on Saturday.
A source with the Mexican government told CNN the pictures are legitimate and were taken by Mexican intelligence teams.
Guzman, known as the world’s most notorious drug dealer, was recaptured last week in northwest Mexico after he escaped from prison through a tunnel connected to his cell.
Mexican federal officials have confirmed that the drug lord appears to have been infatuated with the actress.

He added that the Mexican government will present a “diplomatic note” to USA authorities so that no other US jurisdiction will be able to seek the death penalty, which is outlawed in Mexico, against the extradited drug lord.
