Billionaire drug kingpin Joaquin ‘ El Chapo" spotted enjoying his freedom — See Pics

Escaped billionaire drug kingpin Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ is flaunting his new found freedom on the internet, flying planes and enjoying ice cold beer in public. This is someone that is one of the world’s Most Wanted’ men and is considered the ‘Osama bin Laden of the drug war’.

Meanwhile, the director of the maximum-security prison where Guzman staged his elaborate escape last Saturday has been fired. The announcement comes on the same day that photographs emerged of Guzman appearing to taunt authorities with his new-found freedom by drinking beer and flying in an
airplane.

The photos were sent to a blog which monitors the on-going drug war in Mexico by one of Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman’s sons, and were allegedly taken after his audacious escape just two days ago.

If verified, the pictures would be the first of the notorious cartel leader to surface since his prison break on Saturday morning from Altiplano jail. It also follows his Twitter threats to presidential candidate Donald Trump warning him to stop his anti-Mexico rhetoric.

Baffled: Authorities look into the entrance to a secret tunnel through which Guzman is believed to had fled

This is the hole through which Mexico’s most notorious drug lord escaped from a maximum security prison for the second time – using it to flee through an elaborate network of tunnels underneath his cell.

Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman, billionaire head of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, made his jail break on Saturday morning and is on the run from Altiplano jail, 50 miles outside of Mexico City, security officials said.

His audacious escape saw him dash through the mile-long tunnel system, which led to a building under construction next to the prison – from where he collected clothes left for him by his conspirators.

The sophisticated tunnel contained air vents, electric lights, emergency oxygen tanks – and even a motorbike on rails to speed his escape, according to Mexico’s National Security Commissioner Monte Alejandro Rubido.
