"EVEN before he broke out of what was supposed to be Mexico’s most secure prison on July 11th, Joaquín Guzmán was known to be fond of tunnels. For decades his drug-trafficking organisation, based in the northern state of Sinaloa, bored tunnels to move drugs, people, money and guns across Mexico’s border with the United States. When navy special forces closed in on him last year they found a network of underground passages connecting safe houses in Culiacán, the state’s capital, via the city’s drainage system."
The Mexican prison escape is a prime example why any peace loving society should be afraid of corruption.
