Sean Penn met and interviewed El Chapo while he was on the run in October last year and got him to admit to being the world's biggest drug lord - but did not turn the fugitive kingpin in.

The extraordinary meeting took place in the Mexican jungle and was arranged by Penn, Mexican actress Kate del Castillo and a fixer, with the permission of the Sinaloa cartel.

In an article written by Penn for Rolling Stone, El Chapo says: 'I supply more heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana than anybody else in the world. I have a fleet of submarines, airplanes, trucks and boats.'

Despite his notoriety, up until this point the Mexican gangster had always insisted he was 'just a farmer'.

He also admitted sending a team of engineers to Germany to learn how to safely construct a tunnel into the Altiplano prison he escaped from in July.

The cartel boss was captured on Friday in a daring 4am raid by Mexican marines and was returned to the maximum security jail.

Hopefully, Sean will go to jail as well for aiding and abetting....

I don’t think self preservation is prosecutable.

[Rockitz]

Read the story. He was making money as a contributor to Rolling Stone.

Whoa, dat so kool and edgaaaah.

[ClearCase_guy]

Gee, I hope an assassination squad from Mexico doesn’t come looking for Sean Penn.

[FreedomStar3028]

I’m thinking as soon as he left the jungle Penn turned him in.

[TigerClaws]

Will the truth about the United States backing the Sinola cartel come out?...

[dynachrome]

“but did not turn the fugitive kingpin in.’

Hey, ElChippo, Penn’s lying. He did turn you in. Go get him./s

[UCANSEE2]

Second article to appear on this.

Wonder if he’s planning to make a movie and call it LA ENTREVISTA ?

“... but DID NOT turn him in”

I doubt that he could have turned him in. These guys aren’t dummies. I’m sure Penn had no clue where he was taken to meet El Chapo and I doubt that Penn had the resources needed to detain him.

But he still could have done two things:
1) Tip off authorities before meeting him
2) Report on the meeting afterwards

[DoughtyOne]

Robin, what the hell were you thinking?

[Blackyce]

He met one of the most violent criminals on earth in the one of the most corrupt nations on earth. What exactly was he supposed to do? Run to the local police department el chapo undoubtedly owned and tell them he was right where they knew he was?

[TBall]

Penn is very brave to have turned in Chappo

[RummyChick]

Don't forget a plane used in CIA rendition and supposedly sold at least once..and I think more than that in a short time frame.. went down with these drugs

[Norm Lenhart]

Maybe you should ask how it is that a washed up lefty actor can find the guy and our best DEA cannot.

[SamAdams76]

Let me also congratulate Sean Penn for turning in El Chapo and revealing his location so that he could be re-captured.

Nice work Sean!

Can’t stop making him ugly and Charlize Theron leaving him.Got the interview but lost the girl again.
