Mexican Drug Lord El Chapo’s Son Pleads Guilty to U.S. Drug Trafficking

Son of El Chapo Expected to Plead Guilty Next Week (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforceme
Joaquín Guzmán López, son of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán on Monday pleaded guilty to U.S. drug trafficking charges.

Guzmán López, 39, pleaded guilty to two counts of drug trafficking and continuing criminal enterprise in overseeing the transport of tens of thousands of pounds of drugs into the United States.

He and his younger brother Ovidio stand accused of running a faction of the Mexican Sinaloa drug cartel that held efforts to send a “staggering” amount of fentanyl into the United States.

U.S. prosecutors detailed the two brothers assumed leading positions of the Sinaloa drug cartel after the arrest of their father over a decade ago. “El Chapo” Guzmán is presently serving a life sentence in 2019 for his decades-long involvement in smuggling cocaine and other drugs into the U.S. Collectively, the drug lord’s sons are commonly referred to as Los Chapitos (“The Lil’ Chapos”).

Joaquín Guzmán’s Monday guilty plea comes months after his brother Ovidio entered a plea deal in May. Breitbart News reported in November that Guzmán intended to plead guilty at U.S courts,  a move that “threatens to unleash cartel secrets at the highest levels of power.”
