'El Chapo' In Costa Rica: Fugitive Mexican Drug Lord's Son Accidentally Reveals Location On Twitter

The son of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, the world's most wanted drug lord, has accidentally revealed his father's location on Twitter.

Alfredo Guzman Salazar posted a family photograph in which "El Chapo" was seen dining with other men in a restaurant, on his Twitter account on Aug. 31, 2015, according to 9News, However, he forgot to disable location setting on his account, accidentally revealing "El Chapo's" location in Costa Rica.

"August here, you already know with whom," Salazar, who is also wanted in Mexico, wrote underneath the picture, according to the New York Daily News.

The Costa Rican authorities announced that they were investigating the Twitter post, reported The Telegraph. Police, however, said that they had no records of Guzman's son's presence in Costa Rica.

"El Chapo," a notorious Mexican drug lord and Sinaloa cartel boss, made a stunning escape from Altiplano prison, 56 miles from Mexico City, in July through a one-mile long underground tunnel, as previously reported by HNGN.

Guatemala's former President President Otto Perez , who resigned Thursday amidst a massive graft scandal, claimed that Guzman tried to bribe him after his arrest in 1993.

"The first thing (Guzman) did was try and negotiate. The (bribe) offer we got after his capture is perhaps 10 or 15 times the amount that you're accusing me of here, and I didn't do it because it went against my principles," the jailed former president told a court on Friday, according to Reuters.
