Mexican Drug Kingpin 'El Chapo' Was Trying to Make Biopic: Official
by F. BRINLEY BRUTON and LAURA SARAVIA
Clearly being infamous wasn't enough for Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman — the drug kingpin wanted to be immortalized on film.
The cartel chief known for his daring escapes from high-security prisons was caught early on Friday thanks in large part to his efforts aimed at producing a biopic about himself, according to Mexican officials.
An "important element in determining Chapo's whereabouts was finding out that he wanted to film an autobiographical film," Mexico's Attorney General Arely Gomez Gonzalez said at a news conference hours after the country's president announced the drug baron had been recaptured.
The leader of the deadly and powerful Sinaloa drug cartel had "made contact with actresses and producers, which is now a new line of investigation."
During their surveillance work, Mexican officials documented meetings between his lawyers and the actors and producers.
