Amazingly, Chapo and Kate made the news in 2012 when Kate mentioned in her tweet that she trusts more in El Chapo than the corrupt Mexican government. Just sit back and read a part of the tweet.

"Mr. Chapo: Wouldn’t it be cool if you started to traffic in goodness? With cures for diseases, with food for children in the street, with alcohol for nursing homes. … trafficking with corrupt politicians instead of with women and children that end up as slaves? With burning all the pimps that treat a woman like she’s worth no more than a pack of cigarettes? With no supply there is no demand. Do it, sir, and you would be the hero of heroes. Let’s traffic with love. You know how."

Interestingly, it was Kate who arranged the meeting between the Academy award winning actor Sean Penn and El Chapo in 2015.

According to Kate lawyers, Sean conned both Kate and Chapo by publishing the details of the interview on the Rolling Stone Magazine. Unfortunately for Chapo, Mexican authorities captured him following the Sean interview.

Chapo, who has broke out of prison numerous times, never expected to be arrested. He trusted Kate and Sean to help him make a biopic on his life.

Nevertheless, it is now reported that Mexican authorities now want to talk to both Sean and Kate to question them on matters related to El Chapo. Nonetheless, Mexican authorities have recently issued an order against Kate to appear before them for questioning purpose. Moreover, the authorities also want Kate to work with them as their witness, and also to prove her innocence if she has no strong ties with Chapo.
