Case Study El Chapo

Decent Essays
ow that El Chapo has been recaptured, there is a chance the infamous drug lord could end up in New England.

"Just like all politics is local, I guess drug investigations are local," said Dan Linskey, the former Boston Police Chief.

Linskey has watched the capture, escape and recapture of Mexican drug lord, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman closely; the case started right here in Boston.

"The entire case started with a Boston police detective and an FBI agent in the Boston office. The detective had developed an informant and had convinced the informant to go forward and to work in an undercover capacity with him," explained Linskey.

Guzman was captured for the second time Friday, six months after breaking out of Mexico's top maximum security

I disagree with the ability of the president to pardon people convicted of federal crimes. I believe Arpaio made several bad intentions; therefore the crime convicted should have a consequence leading on to that.…
