El Chapo trial: cartel boss spied on wives and mistresses as FBI eavesdropped
Guzmán’s electronic life was revealed thanks to evidence from an undercover FBI agent and the IT fixer he recruited
The recorded, wiretapped life of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán has dominated this week’s evidence at his trial for allegedly running the world’s biggest narco-traffic organisation.
For all his four (perhaps five) wives, serial mistresses and up to 19 children, Guzmán used his own cyber-security system to spy on ladies in his life – even as US authorities eavesdropped on him.
In one call, the cartel boss was recorded for US authorities hoping to one day arm a six-month-old daughter with an AK-47 Kalashnikov.
