Gangster: Al Capone held the title in the 1930s

Leader of the Sinaloa drug cartel, Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman is set to reclaim his title as Chicago’s public enemy number one.

Despite having been held in a maximum-security prison more than 2,000 miles away for more than a year, Chicago blames El Chapo and his cartel for the growing violent drug trade in the city.

The Chicago Crime Commission is expected to rename him as public enemy number one later today.

Only one other criminal has ever held the title, gangster Al Capone in the 1930s.

Guzman was initially named public enemy number one in 2012, although the Crime Commission removed the titled once he was again incarcerated in 2014.

Chicago is a hub for the Sinaloa cartel’s U.S. trafficking and distribution centres, through which it has made its mark on the North American drug trade.

‘The fact that El Chapo was able to get out of the most secure prison in Mexico positively convinces me that El Chapo should not be being held in Mexico,’ Arthur Bilek, the commission’s executive vice president, told the Chicago Sun Times on Sunday.

‘If the attorney general does not demand his return to the United States, the attorney general is not doing her job.’
