El Chapo didn’t go down without a fight.
Here are the details how he was caught by the Mexican Marines.
Mexican marines captured El Chapo, which means ‘the short one’ in Spanish, during a raid in the town of Los Mochis, located in the kingpin’s home state of Sinaloa. Five cartel gangsters were killed and another six arrested in the raid, while one Mexican marine sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The cartel boss was wearing a dirty vest when he was arrested, which showed off several fresh scratches on his arms.
In one picture, El Chapo stands in a bedroom, where a photo of a scantily-clad woman hangs in the background – his hands shackled in handcuffs in front of him as he stares off to the side of the camera.
At the hideout marines seized two armored vehicles, eight rifles, one handgun and a rocket-propelled grenade launcher.
Photos of the arms seized suggested that Guzman and his associates had a fearsome arsenal at the non-descript white building in which he was hiding.
Two of the rifles seized were .50-caliber sniper guns, capable of penetrating most bullet-proof vests and cars. The grenade launcher was found loaded, with an extra round nearby. And an assault rifle had a .40 mm grenade launcher, and at least one grenade.
Sounds like bad James Bond movie.
