MEXICO CITY — Mexicans were none too pleased to read that their country’s most-wanted cocaine kingpin has been ranked by Forbes magazine as one of the most powerful people in the world.
Joaquin Guzman, alias El Chapo, Spanish for “shorty,” was listed by Forbes this week as No. 41 in a collection of 67 (“one for every 100 million people on the planet”) movers, shakers, rulers and crooks judged as the people who really run the world.
A senior official with the Mexican attorney general’s office, Juan de Dios Castro, said the inclusion of Guzman was “frivolous,” and Mexican Ambassador to the United States Arturo Sarukhan used his debut on Twitter to denounce it.
