Join the DEA Musuem for their latest virtual lecture, Taking Down El Chapo.
The Drug Enforcement Administration Museum produces a series of educational lectures annually. The lecture series is designed to inform and educate the public in matters related to the mission of DEA and the DEA Museum & Visitors Center. Lecture topics include drug trends, science and forensics, collection objects, the exploits and accomplishments of the men and women of DEA, and more.
The upcoming lecture Taking Down El Chapo features key figures in the manhunt, capture, extradition, and conviction of one of the most notorious criminals in the past century. Our panelists will discuss their contributions to the saga of taking down El Chapo.
Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, commonly known as “El Chapo” (shorty in English) founded the Sinaloa cartel in 1980 and smuggled hundreds of tons of illicit drugs into the U.S. for decades until his final capture in 2017. His ruthless career left scores dead in his wake, and he raked up a fortune worth at least 12 billion dollars along the way.
