These images show the aftermath of the violent raid that led to the recapture of Mexican crime boss Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman from his hideout in the town of Los Mochis. The modest apartment is where Guzman was hiding out with his crew since breaking out of jail in October. It also shows the audacious secret tunnel that almost allowed him to getaway once more. Seventeen marines stormed the building, killing at least 5 of El Chapo’s henchmen, but he had managed to get away using the escape route. Operated by a hidden lever, a mirror on the wall of his bedroom was in fact a doorway that opened out – with a mechanism similar to a bus door – to reveal a stairway leading to a tunnel that connects to underground sewers. Using the route he was able to escape the siege, but was eventually captured after stealing a car and trying to get away. It reportedly took marines 90 minutes to find the secret doorway. Although the apartment is modest, El Chapo was living in comfort. The pictures show a kingsize bed in his bedroom, a well-stocked kitchen and large sofas around a TV in the lounge. (SplashNews)
