Trying to relax.

I guess drug kingpins need vacations too. Honduran Security Minister Óscar Álvarez is saying that Sinaloa Cartel head Joaquín “El Chapo” (Shorty) Guzmán is hanging out in Honduras, getting a little R&R. He’s rumored to be staying in an area known as “El Paraíso” (paradise). Among evidence cited is the possibility that Mexican narcocorrido group Los Tigres del Norte was spotted playing a party in the area.

Apparently, “El Chapo” is a big fan.

Though “El Chapo” is one of the last big Mexican drug kingpins still on the loose and is wanted by the Mexicans, the Americans, INTERPOL, and God knows who else, the Hondurans don’t sound especially fired up to go out and bring him to justice:

Asked if after learning this information, the Honduran authorities were setting up an opperation to find “El Chapo” Guzmán, the minister said he had just recently taken the job (as security minister) with President Porfirio Lobo’s new cabinet less than a month ago.

Sounds like Álvarez plans to live to be security minister next month too.
