Joaquin "Shorty" Guzman- the leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, bribed his way out of a maximum secuirty prison in 2001. He's been re-captured by Mexican Marines at a hotel in Mazatlan, North Western Mexico, thanks to intelligence from the US Drug Enforcement Agency- the DEA.

Guzman has been taken to Mexico City, under heavy guard and transferred to a maximum security jail. The Sinaloa cartel- Mexico's most powerful, is responsible for transporting multi ton shipments of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and crystal meth into the United States.

This arrest is THE major law and order bi-lateral triumph of the decade.
