Joaquin "Shorty"
Guzman- the leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, bribed his way out of a maximum secuirty

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.
