The government allegedly had information as far back as March that Guzman’s people were looking for blueprints of the prison, Hernandez said the documents show. Prisoners told investigators that they complained to prison officials about “excessive noise” that sounded like construction two weeks before the escape, Hernandez said.

And a clip of surveillance video released by the government to show the moment Guzman walked into the shower in his cell and never reappeared isn’t the full story, the investigative report said.
According to the documents, the surveillance video had audio where the banging of metal against concrete can be heard, Hernandez said.

“Instead of doing something about it and prevent the escape, the government just let him go,” Hernandez said.

Money talks and Guzman walked.

Kind of beat me to it. Was thinking of ol’ Escobar, plato y plumo.

The Mexican government wanted him out. While the violence surrounding the drug trade will still exist he does a better job of controlling it than the government can. No different than us propping up tin horn dictators around the world for years.

Suitcases of 100 dollar bills can make almost anything happen. Especially in Mexico.
