Romantic entanglements are forever a powerful man’s undoing: The globe’s most notorious syndicate kingpin… captured all because of a lover, intimate whispers, and an overnight stay 💔 😭

​For years, Mexico’s armed forces hunted El Mencho to no avail. That all changed when they set their sights on someone in the inner circle of one of his girlfriends.

​They tailed her loyal bodyguard straight into Tapalpa, Jalisco, late on a Friday evening.

​She was heading there to spend the night with El Mencho.

​Authorities observed, bided their time, and pinpointed his precise coordinates with the help of US intel.

​And then… dawn broke, and she departed. 🚶‍♀️

​The instant she was clear, elite troops launched their raid. Six choppers. Ground squads. The entire strike was primed and executed flawlessly.

​Despite having an arsenal that included actual r,ocket launchers, he was discovered cowering in the shrubbery. 🌿

​The end of the line.
