Jurors were given a first look at the secret hideout of El Chapo's right-hand man during the notorious drug lord's trial.
For the first time the clandestine suspected hideout of Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman's partner and fellow Sinaloa Cartel leader Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, 71, was shared with the public and shown in Brooklyn Federal court on Wednesday.
The hideaway is located in the deserted outskirts of Culican, Mexico, deep in the vicious and powerful cartel's territory.
Video footage from a failed arrest attempt on February 13, 2014 shows US liaison Victor Vasquez and Mexican marines crossing the ranch to raid the spacious safehouse.

The unremarkable hideaway was furnished, boasted multiple bedrooms, and was decked out with a small TV and dressers containing a few personal possessions.
The simple home looked sterile and barely lived in.
Although the raid was to catch Zambada, he was not there and the bedroom was nearly bare.
The clip ends with soldiers questioning the home's caretaker, who has remained unnamed, as he sat on a rocking chair in the outdoor patio.
The marines raided the home in 2014 searching for Zambada to arrest him, but didn't find him there

Another video shown to jurors displayed four Black Hawk helicopters filled with 45 marines descending on the ranch in the failed arrest attempt.
Vasquez reflected on the raid as 'going into the lion's den'.
'You're going into the area of control of the most powerful cartel in the world. We can't be there sitting, not possible,' Vasquez said on entering Culican.
Vasquez and his team staked out in Baja, California in February 2014 waiting to catch Guzman, 61, or Zambada.
Zambada was indicted by the FBI in 2003 on a wide range of drug trafficking crimes. He is still at large
El Chapo's defense attorneys claim he's the victim of a conspiracy and Zambada is the true leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. 'El Chapo' Guzman pictured above in a sketch in Brooklyn federal court on Thursday as no cameras are allowed inside the court room
Vasquez will testify in court on Thursday where he'll detail the failed arrest attempt to capture Zambada. Three days after they failed to catch him, they turned to catch Guzman.
This time, they succeeded, busting Guzman while he was naked in a home in Culican.
The drug kingpin then fled through a tunnel hidden under a bathtub and into the sewers. He was arrested six days later.
But Guzman slipped through the grasp of authorities yet again through a shaft dug under his prison cell.
Then he was finally apprehended in 2016 and extradited to the U.S. where he is now in an ongoing trial in New York.
Guzman is charged with 17 criminal counts including drug trafficking, conspiring to murder his rivals, weapon offenses and money laundering for running the world's largest drug trafficking operation during the early and mid 2000s.

He's accused of funneling tons of cocaine from South America to the U.S.
El Chapo's defense attorneys claim he's the victim of a conspiracy and Zambada is the true leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
Zambada was indicted by the FBI in 2003 on a wide range of drug trafficking crimes. He is still at large. He hasn't been seen in years.
While his former partner sits in jail, Zambada continues to run the Sinaloa cartel, helping the cartel amass a whopping $11billion along the way.
El Mayo has positioned himself as one of the richest men in the narcotics, earning $3billion since 2001.
The United States Department of Justice had placed a reward of $5million for the capture of El Mayo, who has never spent a day of his life in jail unlike his associate, El Chapo, who broke out of two Mexican jails.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
