El Chapo’s Accomplices Used GPS

October 31, 2015 - By GPS World Staff

Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s accomplices knew where the world’s most wanted and powerful drug lord was at all times because he had television in his cell that has a GPS tracking device inside of it, according to the Mexican newspaper La Jornada.

Prison officials seized all electronic devices from all the cells inside the maximum security jail in Toluca after El Chapo’s escape through a mile-long tunnel on July 11.

The GPS device would explain why El Chapo’s associates were able to precisely excavate a tunnel into his cell.
