Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman was captured by the authorities because he got greedy — literally.
Hungry as hell — and in need of nourishment — El Chapo sealed his fate after he reportedly sent one of his men to pick up an order of tacos in a white van that the authorities knew his soldiers used.
Mexican drug lord El Chapo was finally caught after he ordered some tacos to his secret hideout, it has been claimed.
The fugitive reportedly sent one of his men to pick up the order in a white van that the authorities knew were used by his agents.
Police were able to follow the van back to site Los Mochis in his native Sinaloa state where he was holed up and arrested him after a gun battle that left six dead.
The decision to order in by El Chapo, whose real name is Joaquin Guzman, seems all the more bizarre as he reportedly travelled with two cooks in his entourage.
The drug-kingpins meeting with Sean Penn is what initially led authorities Los Mochis.
