MEXICO — Fresh material of the tunnel used by Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman in his daring escape from jail has emerged. The video shows a close-up section of the tunnel, while the surrounding area is dusty, which is likely to have been caused by drilling.
It also became known that fellow inmates complained about the noise from the use of power tools, just days before the escape, Mexican media sources have reported.
It was disclosed that the prison authorities allowed ‘drilling and waterproofing works’ for a pipeline project on the perimeter of the jail. This created a lot of noise and led to complaints from the prisoners inside the high-security facility, sources told the Mexican newspaper, La Reforma.
