Operation 'Black Swan' Details Recapture of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán in 2016

A recent two-part documentary titled 'Operación Cisne Negro' (Operation Black Swan) by N+ has revealed previously unseen details surrounding the recapture of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán Loera in January 2016. Guzmán, the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, was apprehended for the last time after escaping prison twice, most notably from Altiplano prison in July 2015. The documentary explores the intricacies of the operation that led to his capture on January 8, 2016. The name 'Operation Black Swan' originated from an investigation conducted months prior to Guzmán's capture. In November 2015, a raid on the Los Ciruelos ranch in Culiacán, Sinaloa, uncovered several exotic birds, including three black swans and three white swans. These exotic animals drew attention during the investigation, and subsequent actions aimed at Guzmán's capture adopted the name. After his recapture in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Guzmán was initially returned to Altiplano before being extradited to the United States in early 2017, where he is now s...
