Sean Penn Caper Commandeers Mexico's Sunday Newspapers

Milenio, Vanguardia and other dailies are informing readers about Rolling Stone's massive scoop.

On the Facebook page for the Mexican edition of Rolling Stone magazine, they’re pretty ho-hum about it. A Jan. 9 status update reads: Sean Penn chatted with “El Chapo” exclusively before his recapture for Rolling Stone.

The headlines are a little more emphatic on the front pages of today’s Mexican dailies. Starting with this one, which reflects the drug lord’s boast during his conversation with the actor about owning a fleet of planes, submarines, trucks and boats.
