Is this El Chapo? Page #3

---

arrest of Chapo Guzmn has not appeared to help

the average Mexican citizen. Was Chapo Mexico's economy? Who stands to benefit

from his arrest? Could it be current

president, Enrique Pea Nieto? - My name is Anabel Hernndez. I am Mexican

investigative journalist. I have been investigating

the Sinaloa cartel about nine years. The war against the

drugs doesn't exist in Mexico, and

neither in the US. Really, I think that the

governments don't want to fight that issue, because it's a

huge business for everyone. In this fake war

against the drugs, the society is the victim. My thoughts about journalists

changed definitively when my father was killed, because I really think that

the corruption, the impunity, the abuse of the power,

the abuse of the police, is the most important

problem in Mexico. And since my father was

killed, I start to investigate and fight against the

corruption as a journalist. I have met in these years,

to many people that is very close to him, many

people that used to watch him and met him, and the members

of the Sinaloa cartel really don't believe

that he could be alone, just with his wife and his kids. It's unbelievable. - [Charlie] Do you think

that's Chapo Guzmn that they have in

custody right now? - I don't know it. I think that what we are leaving

in Mexico is a war between the cartels, and that the

Mexican government took one part in that war, they start to

protect the Sinaloa cartel, and use the power

of the government to fight against other cartels. That's what happened in all

the six years of the government of Felipe Caldern,

and I have to say that now it's happening again. - [Charlie] So if you're saying

Pea Nieto was protecting the Sinaloa cartel, how

did Chapo get arrested? - Well that is a huge question. It's my question. I'm still asking to

myself the same thing. (dance music) - Leading up to his

arrest, there were reports that Chapo Guzmn was

hiding in this very city, going from residence

to residence. He was being watched

closely, monitored by the Mexican marines, US DEA

and Intelligence, and finally, finally, after 13

years on the run, he was arrested in Mazatlan, and that's where we're

gonna be heading next. (happy music) We were accompanied by Jos, a freelance

photographer journalist. - We're down here on the

boardwalk in Mazatlan. We're just a few miles from

where the biggest drug lord in the world was taken down. This is just a beautiful,

beautiful coastline. Just a wonderful city to visit. A lot US tourists come here,

and they have a great time. - [Charlie] Back

in El Paso, Texas, I interviewed border scholar,
