'El Chapo' Guzmán's plan to make biopic led to his capture
Authorities' knowledge of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's plan to make a biopic led to the notorious drug kingpin's capture Friday, said Mexican Attorney General Arely Gómez González. El Chapo, who has escaped from prison twice since 2001, had started reaching out to producers and actors about the film project, which tipped off investigators to his whereabouts, ABC News reports.
He will be returned to the same maximum security prison that he escaped from in July.
