Anti-Claus is coming to town
Diego Fernández de Cevallos, whose kidnapping six months ago was cynically seen as either a political ploy on his part, or perhaps “rough justice” against one of the most widely despised and feared political figures in the Republic (some people expressed disappointment he wasn’t tortured and executed on camera) or was simply an “alternative dispute settlement” with one or more of his legal clients (which have included Chapo Guzmán y Asoc., S.A. over the years), or any number of those who were financially damaged by his legal and political shenanigans over the years, was released from captivity after an undisclosed ransom payment was made.
If, as Jefe Diego said, his release was the handiwork of God and the Virgin of Guadalupe, it has to rank up there with Virgin birth as one of the all time miracles of the ages.

Whatever el Jefe may have done or been, there are few who are not happy about his release today. What would such an ordeal do to a man… any man?
@joannavdg,,,
I’d guess his bank account was mostly if not totally drained….
Who knows about his ordeal–you know something we don’t???
He mighta been livin large….as a wealthy dude.
Gotta admit–greatly cared-for beard–and looks quite well, despite it all.
It mighta taken him that long to get liquid enough to meet the demands…
That would be my guess…no big deal for a real slimeball.
Wait for the (certain to come) book and movie…and we’ll all find out.

So he made it out alive. I bet he has a good insurance plan now. What next in the wildly chaotic world of Mexican politics?
Shortly said, Jefe Diego is a dirty and bad person, and most likely he is the master mind behind his own kidnapping, in the photos he appears very healthy, in good shape, with a nice haircut and of course, he is in peace and has forgiven everyone, yeah right….This is just a game to catch media’s attention and perhaps run for elections in 2012, he’ll most likely play a victim in his campaign telling everyone his “experience” and how he must act to end with this kind of violence the country has been going through…
Franz seems to have this topic nailed-the whole thing looked phony from the start. Kidnapped, in a pig’s eye.
