“Lamento informarle, pero El Chapo se fugó”: así fue la noche que Enrique Peña Nieto perdió al capo más buscado de México

On the night of July 11, 2015, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán escaped from the Altiplano maximum-security prison in Mexico. At the time of the escape, then-President Enrique Peña Nieto was traveling on the presidential plane to France. The president was informed of the situation via a message from Eugenio Ímaz, the director of the Center for Investigation and National Security (CISEN).

The incident represented a significant security failure for the Mexican government, as Guzmán was the country's most wanted criminal. The disclosure of the notification process highlights the logistical and political challenges faced by the administration during the high-profile security breach.
