Part 7/9:
El Chapo's ability to escape law enforcement and evade capture became legendary. His brazen escape from a maximum-security prison in 2015—through an elaborate tunnel stretching nearly a mile beneath the Mexican landscape—was one of his most audacious acts yet. However, this freedom was short-lived. A few months later, he was recaptured in a bloody confrontation in Los Mochis, only to again attempt an escape through hidden tunnels. His continued scheming demonstrated both his resilience and the lengths to which he would go to maintain power.
Once extradited to the U.S., El Chapo faced serious legal repercussions in New York City, where he stood trial, raising major security concerns that even led to the temporary shutdown of the Brooklyn Bridge during his transport.
