El chapo escape 2018 new york

You're referring to the alleged escape of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán from a maximum-security prison in New York in 2018.

To clarify, there was no escape of El Chapo from a prison in New York in 2018. In fact, El Chapo was extradited from Mexico to the United States in January 2017 and was subsequently convicted of drug trafficking and other charges in February 2019.

However, there was a high-profile incident in July 2015 when El Chapo escaped from the Altiplano Federal Prison in Mexico through a tunnel dug from his cell. He was recaptured in January 2016 in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico.

It's worth noting that there were reports of a possible escape plot involving El Chapo in 2018, but these were later denied by authorities. In August 2018, the FBI and other law enforcement agencies launched an investigation into a possible escape plan, but no evidence of an actual escape was found.

In summary, there was no escape of El Chapo from a prison in New York in 2018. He was already in custody in the United States and was later convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
