The Hunt for El Chapo
Patrick Radden Keefe on the capture of Joaquín Guzmán Loera, who is known as El Chapo, the notorious head of Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel.
El Chino Ántrax supervised the cartel's executioners while posting snapshots of himself guzzling Cristal and fondling a gold-plated AK-47. His boss, El Chapo, typified an older generation—obsessively secretive, running his empire from hiding. After bin Laden's death, Guzmán became the most wanted fugitive on the planet.
