A 21-year-old IT expert who created a personal communications network for Sinaloa cartel boss Joaquin Guzman Loera, otherwise known as El Chapo, was central in the wiretap investigation which eventually led to his arrest.
The young ambitious tech expert from Colombia developed one of the first encrypted and secretive telecoms system used by a criminal gang back in 2009, when he was paid €100,000 by El Chapo to get him up and running on phones which he believed couldn’t be wiretapped.
At the time, El Chapo was on the run and hiding out in the Sierra Madre mountains in his native Mexico, where he was running the world’s richest and most dangerous drug cartels and directing bloody wars against his rivals.
