Life Of El Chapo And Everything You Should Know by Africanbest(m): 7:21am On Feb 13, 2019 |
Mexican drug kingpin Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán has been found guilty on all 10 counts at his drug-trafficking trial at a federal court in New York. Guzmán, 61, was convicted on numerous counts including the distribution of cocaine and heroin, illegal firearms possession and money laundering. He has yet to be sentenced, but the verdict could mean life in jail. Guzmán was arrested in January 2016 after escaping from a Mexican prison through a tunnel five months earlier. He was extradited to the US in 2017. The Mexican was accused of being behind the all-powerful Sinaloa drug cartel, which prosecutors say was the biggest supplier of drugs to the US. What happened in court? Tuesday's unanimous verdict by a jury in Brooklyn, which was read out in a packed courtroom, followed an 11-week trial. Guzmán, wearing a dark suit jacket and tie, showed no visible sign of emotion as the verdict was announced, CBS News reported. As he was escorted from the courtroom, Guzmán shook the hands of his lawyers before exchanging glances with his wife, Emma Coronel, a 29-year-old former beauty queen, and giving her the thumbs up. Judge Brian Cogan, who presided over the trial, thanked the jurors for their dedication at what he described as a complex trial, saying it was "remarkable and it made me very proud to be an American". Guzmán's lawyers said they planned to launch an appeal. more headlines on El chapo: El Chapo trial: Mexican drug lord Joaquín Guzmán found guilty https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47218887 Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán's trial: From shocking to bizarre https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46282173 'El Chapo' Guzmán: Dozen jurors picked for drug trial https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46133266 El Chapo: Five things his wife revealed https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35632287 El Chapo: Seven things we did not know last week https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35301047 Drug lord El Chapo Guzman complains about US jail https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-38860223 'El Chapo' trial: Mexico presidents reject 'scapegoat' claims https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46203608 Mexico's most-wanted: A guide to the drug cartels https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-40480405 'El Chapo' Guzmán: Notorious Mexican drugs boss https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35271257 El Chapo: Who is Kate del Castillo? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35281218 Sean Penn meets 'El Chapo': Social media reacts https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-35275966 Sean Penn: Hollywood hellraiser turned activist https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35276897 'El Chapo' Guzman: Sean Penn interview provokes US scorn https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35276894 Did Sean Penn break the law with El Chapo interview? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-35228910
