From Mexico El Chapo, working then as a middleman taking 40 per cent, put Chupeta’s drugs across the U.S. border. Having turned on El Chapo for a reduced sentence, Jorge Milton’s brother said he “had a friend who was Colombian-Canadian and he had clients there,” and so first started running the Canadian angle for El Chapo from 2008. Alex said the boss, El Chapo, moved around in a golden Chevy Suburban with tinted windows. Once, at his birthday in April 2008, El Chapo was given cars, motorbikes and a white armoured pickup truck. El Chapo wore camouflage all the time, he said, and kept a camouflaged R-15 as well as a handgun with JGL on it.
