In a move reminiscent of El Chapo's escape, Guatemalan inmates attempted to break out through a tunnel.

Guatemalan security and penitentiary forces discovered the construction of a small escape tunnel inside the Granja Penal de Pavón prison, located on the outskirts of Guatemala City. The operation followed an alert generated by penitentiary intelligence and control organs.

Authorities reported that the inmates intended to use the underground passage to break out of the correctional facility, drawing comparisons to the famous prison escapes executed by drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
