Drug lord El Mencho has dodged the authorities for years, despite there being a multimillion dollar bounty on his head - and a chilling phone call might explain why.

You can listen to the terrifying crime boss threatening police officers in the clip below:

El Mencho, real name Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, is the leader and founder of the infamous Jalisco New Generation Cartel.

He's long been mixed up in the narcotics business and served three years behind bars in the US after being found guilty of conspiring to distribute cocaine in 1994.

Upon his release, he was deported back to Mexico. Following a brief stint in the Mexican police force, he returned to organized crime and worked his way up to the top.

The 57-year-old is now known as being the ‘most wanted man on earth’ and has continued dodge police officers in Mexico.

The Mexican government has offered $30 million and the US government has offered $10 million for information that could lead to his arrest.

He is wanted for drug trafficking, organised crime involvement and undocumented possession of firearms.

The audio above was leaked to Mexican media outlets in September 2016 and it shows just how much power El Mencho wields as he instructs officers to back off.

The same month, Mexican news outlet Proceso reported and authenticated the conversation with El Mencho.

El Mencho tells the officer to ‘get your f***ing people to relax' and calls him a ‘son of a b**ch’.

“This is Mencho, man,” he shouts through the phone. “Get your damn men to lay off or I am going to screw you and your mother and your whole pack of dogs.

“I have 30 of you identified. I’m even going to kill your damn dogs if you don’t back off. What do you think of that?”

The officer replies: “You’ve got it sir. I will tell them to stand down right away.”

El Mencho shouts back: “No, no, no. Don’t hang up you d*ck. I know where you are. We are in Chapala, man.”

Later in the call, the drug lord sends a threatening warning: “We’ll get rid of all of you. All of you sons of b**ches, because all of you are taking my money."

He later adds: “That is why I can’t figure it out, man. I get you, man. I know you have your people, the family and s**t. But a*****e, you’d better get on this.”

The phone call ends abruptly, with the police officer replying to El Mencho’s demands with a simple ‘Of course, sir’.
