A surveillance footage of Mexican drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaping from his prison cell shower was released on Tuesday.
Huffington Post reports the video shows Guzman walking to and from the shower cubicle. From his bed, he took on his shoes, went back to the shower and disappeared behind the dividing wall, leaving a mobile device and his location-monitoring anklet.
On Saturday, police officials conducted an international manhunt offering $3.8 million whoever helps them capture Mexico's most powerful drug lord. El Chapo reportedly escaped for the second time through a 1.5-kilometer underground tunnel that was built below his prison cell.
Authorities in Altiplano were not able to detect the construction of the said tunnel just located below the country's maximum security prison.
"This represents without a doubt an affront to the Mexican state," Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto told Huffington Post. "But I also have confidence in the institutions of the Mexican state ... that they have the strength and determination to recapture this criminal."
Guzman's drug cartel transports cocaine, methamphetamines and marijuana through elaborately-built underground tunnels complete with railcars, lighting and ventilation from Mexico to U.S. borders.
Being the most powerful drug syndicate in the world, Forbes magazine has ranked him above presidents of France and Venezuela in the "World's Most Powerful People" list. After taking over a larger syndicate in 1989, Forbes reported Guzman's fortune estimated to $1 billion.
The 58-year-old drug lord was first arrested in 1993 and was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drug trafficking charges. His first prison break was in 2001, reportedly with the help of prison guards who were then convicted.
He was tracked down and re-captured on February 22, 2014 at his high-rise beach side home in the Pacific Coast of his home state in Sinaloa, where he was hiding with his wife and twin children.
