Two weeks later, the Mexican authorities reported that the cartel leader narrowly evaded recapture in northwest Mexico and suffered face and leg injuries as he fled.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The authorities said they could have fired on Guzman at his hideout, but decided against because he was with two women and a child.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another source, quoted by Reuters, said the Mexicans were considering investigating Penn and Castillo.<\/p>\n<p class=\"story-body__crosshead\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Extradition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Mexico meanwhile says it will begin the process of extraditing Guzman to the US, in line with extradition requests from 2014.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Guzman, who was one of the world&#8217;s most wanted drug traffickers, escaped from jail through a tunnel dug in the showers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That was his second escape &#8211; he was first arrested in Guatemala in 1993 and escaped from Puente Grande jail in 2001, reportedly in a laundry basket after bribing officials.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He was on the run for 13 years before being held again in 2014.
