'El Chapo is boss. There is no law but Chapo.'
Mexico, April 2009. The bodies of pair of undercover military intelligence agents, disguised as campesinos (farmers), are dumped by the side of the road. Beside the corpses is a message on a scrap of paper: "You'll never get El Chapo."
Such is the fate of many who have dared to try to catch El Chapo, or oppose him.
El Chapo is the world's most wanted drug lord, at large since he escaped from prison in 2001 after bribing guards to wheel him out in a laundry cart.
His cartel moves thousands of tons of cocaine, marijuana and heroine into the US each year using tunnels, planes and submarines. He has made an estimated $20 billion, and was named on Forbes magazine's Global Power List in 2009. He bribes or kills politicians, police, soldiers and those who betray him. He's hailed by locals as a folk hero.
But the net is closing. Who will make the final move?
'All of Mexico is El Chapo country. His rise parallels that of Pablo Escobar.'
Newsweek
'He is the last of the Mohicans. All of the other big cartels have been decapitated. That is why they want him so badly.'
Jorge Chabat, Mexico City expert on law enforcement
