It showed the photo was snapped in Costa Rica.
A drug lord, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman who escaped from Mexico’s most secure prison has allegedly been located in Costa Rica after his son accidentally posted a picture of them on the micro-blogging site Twitter without removing the location tag, Russian television network RT reported on Saturday. He captured the image, “August here, you already know with whom”.
Guzman, 58, bribed his way out of jail to escape in 2001, and 30 prison workers were quizzed over his latest breakout.
Based on this most blatant tip off, Costa Rican authorities are now looking into the possibility that the internationally wanted criminal could be hiding out in their country.
But the dozy 29-year-old apparently forgot to disable the location function on his Twitter, which revealed where the pair was dining.
Jaoquin Guzman, better known as El Chapo, made global headlines when he effectively Shawshanked his way out of Altiplano Federal Prison via a highly engineered tunnel that bore him to freedom.
While law enforcement agencies played a guessing game when it came to his whereabouts, they got a helping hand from El Chapo’s technically-challenged son this past Tuesday. “El Chapo” was the head of the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel and the United States have offered $5m for his recapture. From where he is said to have escaped in a laundry cart in 2001. While some think the Mexican government could be implicated in the daring escape, authorities are offering a $3.8-million reward to those who could help capture the notorious drug lord for the third time.
