Flirty Text Messages Between Actress And Drug Lord ‘El Chapo’ Revealed

 

Mexican actress Kate del Castillo caught the attention of the convicted drug lord after she sent a boozy, ill conceived tweet back in 2012.

In a tweet, she told Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán:

‘Wouldn’t it be cool if you started trafficking with the good? Come on senor, you would be the hero of heroes. Let’s traffic with love.’

Her public admiration for Guzman caught his attention and one of his attorneys reached out to her to requesting a meeting.

A mutual admiration flourished when the drug lord offered del Castillo the rights to his life story.

But things became more intimate when the star was given a blackberry by Guzman’s people so he could ‘hear from her directly’.

At this point Guzman had escaped from the maximum security Altiplano prison, something del Castillo said she was ‘celebrating over’.

In September 2015, Guzman wrote that he would love for her to spend a day with him at a near by ranch and added:

‘Amiga, if you’ll bring the wine, I’ll also drink yours. . . . I’m not a drinker, but your presence will be a lovely thing and I very much want to get to know you and become very good friends. You are the best in this world. . . . I will take care of you more than I do my own eyes.’

In an in-depth interview with the actress with New Yorker, del Castillo revealed her reply:

‘It moves me so much that you say you’ll take care of me—nobody has ever taken care of me, thank you! And I’ll be free next weekend!’

He later wrote:

‘I’m not a drinker, but with you I’ll drink to the feeling of being together. Thanks so much for being such a fine person. How beautiful you are, amiga, in every way.’

The sensational meeting took place a month later deep in the Mexican jungle.

Guzman was captured as a result of his meeting with the sexy star and Hollywood actor Sean Penn. Penn, who tagged along to interview the famed drug lord for the now defunct Rolling Stones article, now says he regrets the interview.

El Chapo’s Wife Rejects Claim By ‘Daughter’

 

Rosa Isela Guzmán Ortiz
Rosa Isela Guzmán Ortiz says she is willing to take a DNA test to prove she is El Chapo’s daughter

The Guardian quoted Rosa Isela Guzmán Ortiz as saying during a three-hour interview last July that her father was not a criminal, but a businessman who had built a successful business with the approval of the Mexican government.

“My dad is not a criminal. The government is guilty,” said the 39-year-old owner of a chain of car washes, beauty salons and cafes, charging that he had been betrayed by government officials as well as his Sinaloa Cartel colleague Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada

Guzmán Ortiz showed the newspaper private family photographs of her father and letters he had sent from jail as well as several pieces of identification, including her birth certificate.

As well, a church minister in Badiraguato, Sinaloa, the cartel boss’ hometown, confirmed the daughter’s identity.

Guzmán Ortiz’ said her mother was a teacher in Guadalajara in the mid-1970s when she met Joaquín Guzmán, who was then working for the Guadalajara Cartel. Their daughter was born in Zapopan in November 1976, according to the report.

Yesterday, however, Joaquín Guzmán’s wife released a letter saying that neither she, Guzmán or other members of his family knew Guzmán Ortiz and rejected the claim that she was the drug lord’s daughter.

Emma Coronel also said she would ask for a DNA test.

The Guardian story also revealed that Joaquín Guzmán had decided to retire and turn the cartel leadership over to his son Iván Archivaldo, a plan that didn’t sit well with “El Mayo” Zambada, who is said to have been running the gang while El Chapo Guzmán was in jail.

Guzmán Ortiz claimed that the two had arranged to meet at a hotel in Mazatlán in February 2014. But Mexican authorities showed up instead and arrested Guzmán.

Said the woman claiming to be his daughter:

“He had already retired, it was just a question of smoothing it with El Mayo, but it seems the old man didn’t much like the idea,” she said. “We’re completely sure El Mayo betrayed him. They used to always meet in private places and my dad found it strange that he had suggested that place.”

Guzmán Ortiz says she married “El Mayo” Zambada’s son, Vicente Zambada Niebla, on the instructions of her father, but later separated. Her ex-husband is now in a U.S. prison after he was arrested in Mexico in 2009 and subsequently extradited.

Her current partner is the nephew of another Sinaloa Cartel boss, Juan José Esparragoza Moreno, known as “El Azul.”

Family Of Druglord El Chapo Say He Is Being Tortured While In Prison

 

El Chapo’s sister Bernarda insists her brother is being treated unfairly while in Mexican prison.

The Mexican drug lord is alleging that guards are waking him up in the middle of the night, and are failing to give him enough clothes to stay warm in his cold cell.

His relatives claim the “torture” is punishment for his high-profile escape from the same jail in July 2014. They staged a protest outside the small compound.

El Chapo’s sister Bernarda:

“They are angry because he got out, but anybody, even an irrational animal, would seek their freedom. He didn’t hurt anybody.”

One of Guzman’s lawyers, Jose Refugio Rodriguez, told reporters that his client hated life inside the Mexican jail so much that he is now eager to be extradited to the US.

In order to speed up the process, the head of the Sinaloa cartel is even willing to plead guilty to any charges – as long as authorities provide him with a short sentence in a medium-security prison.

Mr Rodriguez said:

“I saw a desperate man, a dejected man. I found him very discouraged and in a very serious state of health.”

Another member of El Chapo’s legal team, Juan Luis Gonzalez Meza, said he planned to go on “hunger strike” until the 58-year-old began receiving better treatment.
However, the lawyer later admitted he would still be having breakfast and juice every day.

Mexican authorities have denied that Guzman is being treated inhumanely, and insist that he is in good health.

The protest came as the kingpin’s eldest daughter, Rosa, told The Guardian that her father had managed to sneak into the US twice during his stint as a fugitive.

Although she refused to reveal how he had managed to cross the border, she claimed that his dramatic jailbreak through a tunnel was not an escape, but an “agreement” with senior officials.

More than 30 people, including the warden of the prison he escaped from, were arrested after his disappearance.
