Authorities are now focussing their search on the country. 'El Chapo' was the head of the powerful Sinaloa drug cartel and the US have offered $5m for his recapture. 'El Chapo' is thought to be the man on the right of the picture.
His escape in July was a global sensation when a mile long tunnel under his cell was used to flee the jail. A motorised modified rail car was then used to transport him to the escape hatch. He has been on the run since.
It is alleged that up to €50m in bribes may have been paid to secure his escape.
