El Chapo's extraordinary jail break that saw him wheeled out in laundry basket
El Chapo escaped prison by hiding in a laundry basket wheeled out by a guard with whom he was friendly.On January 19 2001, pint-sized drug lord Joaquin Guzmán bribed a guard to open his cell door in Puente Grande maximum-security prison so he could launch his ambitious break-out. The former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel was jailed in Mexico for money laundering and importing tons of cocaine into California. El Chapo, 64, used long-range border tunnels to smuggle more drugs into the USA than had ever been done before, but law enforcement finally started to catch up with him in 1993.
