Opposition politicians in Mexico have pounced on comments made to the Guardian by the daughter of recaptured cartel capo Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, alleging the country’s most wanted man poured money into politics and that his outlandish escape was part of a pact with the authorities – a deal supposedly broken with his arrest earlier this year.
“What El Chapo’s daughter said is a strong revelation, which must be investigated and must be taken seriously,” said two-time presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador, who leads early polls for the 2018 elections. “[President Enrique] Peña Nieto cannot stay silent.”
