Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is most likely still in Mexico after his escape from prison last month, the DEA’s new acting administrator said.
Chuck Rosenberg told reporters, though, that he has no hard evidence of the escapee’s whereabouts but said Guzman is likely relying on the vast resources of his Sinaloa organization in Mexico.
“I think he is still in Mexico,” Rosenberg said. “Do I know that? No, I do not know that. Where is he safest and best protected, probably Sinaloa.”
The U.S. is offering a $5 million reward for the capture of Guzman, a powerful cartel leader.
“I know the Mexicans are trying everything they can to find him,” he said. “They are working on it; we are working on it with them.”
