Kate del Castillo investigated, report says

Ms Del Castillo would have been involved in money laundering if she had received money from Guzman for her business, explained the Attorney General.

Gomez told the Mexican daily, “Even when there are indications, we need legal certainty”.

Chelsea Handler is just as confused as many about Sean Pean’s secret meeting with drug kingpin El Chapo in order to interview him for Rolling Stone, but she does have one theory.

Asked by AFP if Del Castillo or her tequila company were under investigation, the department said in an emailed statement that it does “not comment on sanctions enforcement or claims about potential sanctions violations”.

Not only had she had contact with him while he was a fugitive, but questions are arising if Del Castillo used money to support the launch of her tequila brand Honor del Castillo.

Gomez said Penn now is not under investigation, nor is director Oliver Stone, whose name has been mentioned among several Hollywood filmmakers rumored to be on the producers’ wish list.

Guzman is facing extradition to the U.S. Gomez said Mexico had made a decision to extradite Guzman, though other officials have said the process could take months. Three months later, Mexican marines raided a safe house in the city of Los Mochis and Guzman was arrested after fleeing through a storm sewer. Castillo is a dual citizen of Mexico and the United States, and met with Guzman in a recorded meeting along with fellow actor Sean Penn, leading up to his January 8 recapturing in Sinaloa.

Mobile phone exchanges between Kate del Castillo and Guzman reveal that he initially did not know who Sean Penn was.

As well as the “smell-Chapo” dogs, as they are known in the prison, cell floors have been reinforced with steel mesh and four times as many video cameras are now providing surveillance.

Part of the reason for the meeting in the jungle was that del Castillo wanted to tell Guzman’s story in a movie.

“We have to make sure who provided the airplane, who paid for it, all of the logistics of the trip”, Gomez said.
