<p>Attorney general Arely Gomez said the alleged mastermind of the operation was a member of Guzman&#8217;s legal team who had access to the Altiplano prison near Mexico City, and was able to notify the capo of the operation&#8217;s progress and receive instructions.</p>
<p>The person is also said to have relayed orders and payments to others involved in the escape.</p>
<p>Others arrested included Guzman&#8217;s brother-in-law, believed to have supervised the building of the mile-long escape tunnel and organised transportation, a person who negotiated the purchase of the plot of land where the tunnel emerged, and a pilot.</p>
<p>Ms Gomez said after the escape, the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel boss travelled by land to the city of Queretaro where officials say he caught a small plane to a mountainous region of Sinaloa, his home state and stronghold.</p>
<p>Two Cessna aircraft left from Queretaro, Ms Gomez said. Authorities recently detained a second pilot in the case.</p>
<p>She did not name any of the suspects or take questions, but said they planned, organised and carried out the jailbreak along with officials inside the maximum-security jail.<br />
About 23 prison staff and employees have also been arrested and some face criminal charges.</p>
<p>El Chapo&#8217;s July 11 escape through the tunnel dug to the shower in his cell was his second brazen flight from prison and made him once-again Mexico&#8217;s most-wanted fugitive.</p>
<p>In 2001 he slipped out of another maximum-security facility, purportedly hidden in a laundry basket.</p>
<p>Security agents have focused their manhunt on Sinaloa and neighbouring Durango state in recent weeks. Officials say Guzman was injured in the leg and face while fleeing the dragnet there.</p>
