Two of drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera’s sons have confirmed they are negotiating for a plea deal with the US government, an attorney for the pair confirmed during a federal court status hearing in Chicago on Monday.
The hearing confirmed an August report from the Mexican news organization Milenio that Ovidio Guzmán and Joaquín Guzmán López were negotiating a deal for a more lenient sentence and to become cooperating witnesses for the US government.
During Monday’s hearing for Ovidio Guzmán, the federal judge also allowed for him and his brother to be represented by the same attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, who represented El Chapo during his sensational 2019 federal trial.
. . .
Ovidio Guzmán and Joaquín Guzmán López, along with their other two brothers still at large in Mexico, were the leaders of “Los Chapitos”, a faction of the Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, one of the biggest organized crime groups in Mexico.
