Escaping from the tunnel was a diversion plan. What really happened - I believe - is that he just walked right out the front door of the prison with an official.

Like @Mexican Raider pretty much said, he's got a lot of power. With power, and money, comes a lot more opportunity.

Glad my boy chapo out of prison though.

So he paid another prisoner to dig the tunnel for him and pretend that it was him who escaped through it?
