El Chapo Guzman: 10 Things to Know About the Notorious Crime Lord of Sinaloa Cartel [Photos+ Video]

A massive manhunt is on for to nab Mexico's most notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who managed to break out of a maximum security prison in Mexico last Saturday night, for a second time.

Investigators found that "El Chapo" Guzman used a kilometre-long tunnel built under his bathroom to escape from the Altiplano prison. The tunnel, which was both well-illuminated and amply ventilated, ended at an abandoned property.

The photos of the abandoned property, where the escape tunnel used by Guzman ended, indicated it was inhabited by more than two men, who might have facilitated the Mexican druglord's escape from prison.

The police also found mattress and clothing in the abandoned house. El Chapo's escape from the maximum prison for the second time has now made him a legendary figure.

When Guzman escape from the high-security prison in January 2001, it took investigators over a decade to catch him. During that time, he went on to marry an 18-year old beauty queen - Emma Coronel - with whom he had two daughters, before he was arrested again in February 2014.

Here are 10 things to know about the Mexican drug lord, who has once again become one the most wanted men in the world.
