Four Mexican officials have been charged with helping Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán escape from a maximum security prison.

Two of the authorities involved in Guzmán’s escape are members of Mexico's secret service. The other two were control room employees tasked with monitoring the 60-year-old drug lord’s cell.

Previously, three other officials were charged in Guzmán's escape.

As reported by BBC, the four officials have been accused of failing to raise the alarm once Guzmán had gone.

Back in July, Guzmán escaped through a 1,600-yard tunnel dug under his shower cell, which connected to a building outside the prison. This marked the second time “El Chapo” escaped a maximum-security prison.

Guzmán’s escape quickly became an international concern. U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch immediately announced the federal government was willing to extend its support to Mexico in recapturing Guzmán.

"We share the government of Mexico's concern regarding the escape of Joaquin Guzman Loera 'Chapo' from a Mexican prison," Lynch said, according to NBC. "In addition to his crimes in Mexico, he faces multiple drug trafficking and organized crime charges in the United States."

A poll conducted by the Mexican newspaper Reforma indicates that 88 percent of Mexican citizens, who are by and large skeptical of their government as well as the police, believe that Guzmán’s escape was an inside job.

Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto has pledged that all those who participated in Guzmán’s escape will be punished under "the full weight of the law."

Soon after his escape, Guzmán famously attacked American presidential hopeful Donald Trump for his anti-Mexican remarks. Via social media Guzmán profanely warned that if Trump did not watch his words, he would soon be made to eat them.

The typically fearless Trump did not take the threat lightly, and henceforth increased his already stiff security. The New York Post reported that at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new winery and bed and breakfast, Trump told reporters covering the event that, “We have officials all over the place, including right outside hanging out in trees.”
