Drug kingpin Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who escaped from a maximum-security prison in Mexico more than six months ago, has been recaptured, President Enrique Peña Nieto announced Friday.
Guzmán, head of the Sinaloa drug cartel, escaped from his cell in July through a specially dug tunnel.
“Mission accomplished,” Peña Nieto wrote on Twitter.
Misión cumplida: lo tenemos. Quiero informar a los mexicanos que Joaquín Guzmán Loera ha sido detenido.
