Security guards of the high security prisonw ho were supposed to be watching the Sinaloa Cartel boss were actually playing solitaire whilst he escaped.

Security officers Carlos Sanches Garcia and Jose Daniel Aureoles Tabares originally claimed that their computers had froze and by the time they had rebooted them the Mexican drug lord had vanished.

It’s alleged that the video shows the pair were in fact playing solitaire at Almoloya prison while sounds of hammering and voices coming from Guzman’s cell could be heard, the newspaper added.

According to Garcia and Tabares’ statements, at 8.48pm – four minutes before his escape in July this year – their screen froze and they made nearly 30 phone calls to the prison’s Image Monitoring Center but couldn’t get through.

A still from the  footage from the office where the federal agents were watching Guzman reportedly shows that multiple computer screens were switched off as they played the computer game.

The article also states that the video highlighted other delays, including that it took guards 18 minutes to reach his cell and that a ‘red alert’, which locks down the prison and alerts a nearby military garrison, was only activated at midnight.
