The “principal planner” and five other suspects behind Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s jail break were arrested, Mexico’s attorney general said on Wednesday.
Attorney General Arely Gomez said the man behind the escape repeatedly entered the prison that held Guzman.
Guzman, the head of the Sinaloa drug cartel, escaped in July through a tunnel leading from the shower of his jail cell.
Those detained include a pilot believed to be a Sinaloa associate, a tunnel builder and Guzman’s brother-in-law. Gomez did not release the names of any of the new detainees.
