Story highlights Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman escaped from a Mexican maximum-security prison on July 11

He is at large, but Mexico's attorney general says 24 people have been arrested in his escape

That includes a pilot accused of playing a role, though authorities haven't offered details

(CNN) Three months later, "El Chapo" remains at large.

Attorney General Arely Gomez said at a Mexican Senate hearing that the pilot had been captured. But she didn't offer details -- including the name of the pilot and where, when or how he or she was caught.

Gomez said 24 people, all but one of them government employees, have been arrested in connection with the July 11 escape. Ten other civilians have been detained.
