1. El Chapo
Mexican drug lord Joaquín Guzmán aka El Chapo is probably one of the most notorious men living in the world today. Known to the Chicago Crime Commission as “Public Enemy Number One”, he has topped both FBI and Forbes lists alike due to the widespread influence of his massive Sinaloa drug cartel.
In 1993 he was arrested and sentenced to 20 years in a Mexican prison. He immediately began orchestrating his escape by bribing guards, police, and maintenance workers, some of whom he put on a payroll. On January 19, 2001 a guard unlocked Guzmán’s cell and the drug lord slipped into a laundry cart and was pushed out the front door. Maintenance worker Javier Camberos (who was later imprisoned for assisting in the escape), drove Guzmán away from the prison in the trunk of a car.
El Chapo was recaptured in 2014, but he only served about a year before he was able to escape again. On July 11, 2015 Guzmán disappeared from his prison cell. Upon inspection, guards found a hole leading to a tunnel 10ft below the ground that stretched almost a mile long. Professionally constructed, the tunnel measured 5’7″ tall and 29.5″ wide. They also found a motorcycle that they believe was used to move El Chapo through the tunnel.
On January 8th, 2016 he was recaptured and has since returned to prison. His daughter, Rosa Isela Guzman Ortiz, has recently stated in the press that her father crossed the Mexican border into California twice in 2015 to visit his family.
