Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who evaded authorities for 13 years, had a network of tunnels under his bath.
Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin Guzman used a network of secret tunnels - including one hidden beneath his bathtub - to move between his houses and escape arrest.

Beneath the bathtub was a ladder that led down into the tunnel network - which itself exited into the city's drainage system.

Guzman, the head of the Sinaloa cartel, had been on the run from authorities since escaping from prison in a laundry truck in 2001.
