<p>The Sinaloa cartel boss was moved from the maximum-security Altiplano lock-up near Mexico City to a prison in Ciudad Juarez, across the border from El Paso, a security official told The Associated Press, without giving a reason for the transfer.</p>
<p>Jose Refugio Rodriguez, a lawyer for Guzman, confirmed that he was sent to the Cefereso Number 9 prison. He said Guzman&#8217;s defence team was not notified beforehand, and one of his lawyers was travelling to Juarez to try to meet with their<br />
client.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t know what the strategy is,&#8221; Mr Refugio said. &#8220;I can&#8217;t say what the government is thinking.&#8221;</p>
<p>Guzman&#8217;s lawyers are appealing against a bid to have him extradited to the United States, where he faces charges in multiple jurisdictions.</p>
<p>&#8220;El Chapo&#8221; first broke out of a Mexican prison in 2001. He was recaptured in 2014, only to escape the Altiplano prison the following year through a mile-long tunnel dug to the floor of the shower stall in his cell.</p>
<p>Mexican marines re-arrested him in the western state of Sinaloa in January, after he fled a safe house through a storm drain.<br />
He was returned to Altiplano, where officials beefed up his security regimen.</p>
<p>Guzman was placed under constant observation from a ceiling camera with no blind spots, and the floors of top-security cells were reinforced with metal bars and a 16-inch layer of concrete.</p>
