Supposed Twitter posts from Mexican drug lord's kids praise his prison escape

The posts, which were picked up by various media outlets, were from presumably from Alfredo and Ivan Guzman Salazar.

Alfredo posted a celebratory message at 8:29 a.m. Sunday, while Ivan had said in a post last week that "Todo llega para quien sabe esperar" (Good things come to those who wait).

Ivan also said in a May 8 post that "el general pronto estará de regreso" (the general will soon be back).

There has been no confirmation that the Twitter accounts belong to Alfredo and Ivan, who are Guzman's sons from his marriage to Alejandra Maria Salazar Hernandez.

Salazar Hernandez, the drug lord's first wife, was identified by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration in 2012 as an individual that provided "material support" to Guzman's drug cartel.

Jesus Alfredo Guzman Salazar and his mother are on the U.S. Treasury Department's durg kingpin list.

Another Twitter account, operated under the name "Chapo," also had posts on Sunday.

Chapo Guzman escaped from the Altiplano I federal prison in central Mexico on Saturday night through a 1.5-kilometer (nearly one-mile) tunnel that led to a house.

The drug lord had been held at the prison in Mexico state, which surrounds the Federal District and forms part of the Mexico City metropolitan area, since his arrest on Feb. 22, 2014.

Guzman, who was born in 1957, got his start in the drug business as a lieutenant of Miguel Angel Felix-Gallardo, the top leader of the Guadalajara cartel, in the 1980s.

Guzman was captured in 1993 in Guatemala and sent back to Mexico, where he was convicted on bribery charges.

On Jan. 19, 2001, with just seven months remaining on his sentence, Guzman escaped from the Puente Grande penitentiary in the western state of Jalisco, pulling off the Hollywood-style jailbreak by hiding in a cart full of dirty laundry in front of guards.

The Mexican drug kingpin's wealth led to his name regularly appearing on Forbes magazine's list of global billionaires.
