EL Chapo – the Short – was the most powerful and most feared drug Lord of his time. For a long time he was regarded as unassailable, as long as the prudent man was a shame. Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera El Chapo made two weaknesses that cost him his freedom. One of them was seeking the glory – to brag and to the world in the right light, he had a conversation with the Hollywood star Sean Penn. This Meeting led to his arrest.
The contact to Penn was made of Kate del Castillo. You and the love you were the second unpardonable weakness of the powerful drug bosses. Kate del Castillo was a reasonably successful actress, the main role landed in a Telenovela. There, she played the “kings of the South” – the “Reina del Sur” – a drug Baroness.
The Gangster, and the TV-Opera,
, The Telenovela was based loosely on the eponymous, gloomy novel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte, which was the rise of a Narco-girl from Sinaloa a dominant drug Baroness. The novel was, in turn, influenced loosely by Griselda Blanco, the cruel and violent Queen of cocaine. This Telenovela was staged at all realistic, but ironically, Guzmán said, the main actress a kindred discovered. He held the lovely Kate del Castillo for a master of the crime – as it put her role near.
On the last day of Barack Obama’s presidency, Guzmán was brought in the United States. Now the trial of Guzmán in New York begins. The indictment includes more than 300,000 pages. The names of the jurors be kept secret. Unprecedented protection program, trying to keep the witness alive.

It is about the guilt of a man, but the process will tell the history of entire countries. Guzmán’s rise is closely connected with it, such as the “Golden triangle” of Mexico, between the Sinaloa, Chihuahua and Durango to the center of the global drug trade.
Guzman was born in Badiraguato. Marked by the poverty of his family and the violence of his father, who was also engaged in drug smuggling. “It was a difficult time. We longed for something Better,” said Consuelo Loera, guzmán’s 88-year-old mother, the “Time”magazine. Even then, he was called El Chapo because of his burly stature. And even as a child he had to work hard to bring food on the table, “He has always fought for a better life,” said his mother, “even as a little Boy.” In a Video told Guzman that he had started 15 years ago to work in the drug business. “There were no Jobs. The way to be able to buy food, is to grow poppy and marijuana. So I began to harvest to grow and to sell … The drug trade is part of a culture that comes from our ancestors.”

In this triangle, the cocaine from Colombia was handled and to the North in the USA managed. Guzmán remained in the Background, but when his Boss, Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo was arrested, he rose to the top of the Mexican drug world. El Chapo managed to increase the amount and speed of the transport routes is enormous. For this he was called “El Rapido”. His success at the time, shows how the “war on Drugs” is actually developed. His Sinaloa cartel should have the Heroin and cocaine trade is practically monopolized. 90 percent of the consumption in Europe and the United States were controlled by this cartel. However, this group was not organized centrally. It should have rather acted in a way of the merger according to the type of Franchise company. This loose structure was the Initiative of the local organisations, the cartel developed an incredible dynamic.
the master of The tunnelling
Other drug bosses in front of Guzmán relied on human couriers, to fast boats and in containers hidden charges. For the quantities implemented of El Chapo, is not enough these methods. He perfected the construction of the tunnel under the us-Mexican border. The drug day and night, could be moved on small carts in the air-conditioned tunnels. Also Betmatik a spectacular escape, El Chapo managed by the art of tunnel construction.
it’s all made Possible only because the cartel paid to all levels of management. The drug trade of this Dimension also led to unprecedented corruption. At least in Mexico, there was no government body more, which was not from the money of the drug dealers. During this time, parts of Mexico, turned to a state in a particular way to a Narco-County. The only guarantee any Form of order was the cartel, it is the “Pax Mafiosa” upright.
discontent with his surroundings,
of Course, the love was to Kate del Castillo is not alone the cause of guzmán’s downfall. How many major crime bosses in front of him, he was not able to provide a viable Transition to the next Generation. Maybe this would also be an impossible task, given the ambitions and the ruthlessness of his lieutenants and his own sons. An example of Ismael Zambada García is called El Mayo, one of the most important men of the cartel. As he was not seen as the designated successor to the Mighty chosen work, he is now against Guzman.
El Mayo didn’t like it that El Chapo staged more and more as a Gangster-king. So as El Chapo, would be the reincarnation of the patron Saint of the Narcos, Jesús Malverde. A Gangster from Sinaloa with a Robin Hood Image. In the mountain villages of his homeland, many of Guzmán to see today as a super-hero, is sung about in songs. He also did a lot of things. He showed up at village festivals, and distributed cash of roles among the people. He built roads and paid for the hospital treatment of the poor. But these Extravagances have led to his own Narco-state no longer wanted to protect Guzmán. The Meeting with Penn was only the Moment, in which everything is cumulative.
Who is veurteilt?
was Different than many other drug dealer Guzman in the US, no Deal. He pleads “innocent”. The process is now expected with voltage. Also because, it is hoped that information about the dirty war on drugs by the US authorities. In the South it pays particular attention to the fact, who will come through this process. It tells her that it will be, once again, only people with darker skin color. The dirt worker in the drug business. But what is with all the Lawyers and managers, which managed the money for the Narcos and washed? In the world of antitrust is to have a controlled 5000 legal firms. In Mexico, there are fears that these helpers with a white collar and white skin are not bothered color a few exceptions.
Netflix’s series “El Chapo” is A pretty stupid drug king
in the Meantime, Guzman is the Star of a TV series. Since April, 2017 El Chapo “is” on the air. In just one year, two squadrons were sent with 21 episodes, the third season was broadcast in 2018. But satisfied the real El Chapo is not: Supposedly, he wants to sue Netflix, as the series represented him on the charge of bad.
