Guzman used an elaborate underground tunnel to break out of a federal prison in July.

He was recaptured Friday after the Mexican navy raided a home in the coastal city of Los Mochis.

Mexican forces transferred Guzman from an armored vehicle and into a helicopter late Friday night after his arrest in his native Sinaloa state.

Guzman’s prison escape — his second one in 14 years — embarrassed the Mexican government and made him a symbol of ineptitude and corruption.
