Mexican Drug Lord 'El Chapo' Among 24 Indicted in El Paso

Finally some action on Mexico's most notorious drug lord Joaquin Guzman Loera, known as "El Chapo," or "Shorty" leader of the Sinaloa cartel and previously named by Forbes magazine as one of the world's richest men. It should be interesting to see how this case winds its way thru the courts.

Question is will he ever be found and returned to prison again? (He escaped and some say he just walked out of a prison before with some help from inside the walls) There is still a $5 million dollar reward for information leading to his capture offered by the U.S. Should be interesting..........

Anyways, details of names taken directly from the formerly sealed indictment which were released today include:
