Mexico City, January 9 (RHC-teleSUR)-- In addition to Mexican marines, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and U.S Marshals were involved in Friday’s recapturing of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, a senior Mexican police source said according to Reuters.

The detention of the infamous drug boss was confirmed by Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto, who had been under fire for El Chapo’s daring escape from a maximum security jail on July 11, 2015.

El Chapo is considered one of the world’s most dangerous, richest and powerful drug traffickers.

The arrest comes as Peña Nieto’s administration faces one of its darkest moments with several allegations of corruption and human rights violations and a stagnant economy.
