UNRULY PRISON BREAK: DRUG LORD ESCAPES PRISON IN STYLE

 

 A Columbian Cartel Drug Lord Named "KINGPIN JUAN CASTRO" pulled off one of the most daring

prison break in history with a super mark 

Castro is reportedly boss of the Cordillera Sur, a faction of the Gulf Clan.

The organization is known to have connections with a Colombian revolutionary group, the National Liberation Army, as well as the two most powerful drug-trafficking gangs organizations in Mexico, the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

Castro’s whereabouts are currently unknown but there is widespread speculation that he may have boarded an aircraft in the capital Bogotá and may have left the country.

This is one of the best prison breaks, I will rather say the most stylish prison break on earth...

Surveillance footage released by Colombia’s prison service showed Castro AKA Matamba, calmly walking out of his cell wearing the guard’s uniform.

He was caught on video passing through deserted corridors and several security doors before managing to leave the prison.

Guards only realized Castro wasn’t in his cell during roll call the following morning, officials said.

The guard suspected of giving Castro the uniform and leaving the doors ajar for him has already been arrested.

Castro had been locked up in the Colombian prison since last May when he was arrested on drug charges.

He is accused of being the mastermind behind 20 percent of the cocaine shipments in Colombia’s southwest.

Castro has been arrested nearly a dozen times in the past and made multiple prison escape attempts, including one where he tried to fake his death.

As a result of his escape, President Iván Duque announced 'a comprehensive reform of the Colombian penitentiary and prison system' after the corruption scandals involving the National Penitentiary and Prison Institute.

At the beginning of this month, the Colombian government dismissed the head of the prisons and the director of the largest prison in the country for the unusual exit permits granted to businessman Carlos Mattos, arrested for allegedly paying bribes in a lawsuit with the South Korean automaker, Hyundai.

Mattos was seen leaving La Picota prison twice in a National Penitentiary and Prison Institute vehicle in videos obtained by television network Caracol. He was seen walking unguarded and entering a building where his office was located.

'The system cannot continue to have these behaviors without exemplary sanctions,' Duque said Friday. 

The Gulf Clan is considered Colombia's largest drug-trafficking group.

The organization consists of about 1,600 fighters and is involved in the production and trafficking of cocaine, as well as illegal mining.
