The trial of El Chapos, one of the world's most notorious criminals, began in New York. He founded the Sinaloa cartel in 1989, which continues and remains powerful today. The process will cost millions of dollars and last for more than four months.
Trial against Joachim “El Chapo” Guzman started New York on Monday.
He is accused of being the head of the largest doga cartel, which for a quarter century has trafficked over 155 tonnes of cocaine to the United States.
Facing American justice of one of the world's most notorious criminals will cost millions of dollars and last for more than four months.
For several years prosecutors have been working to fill out the Guzman bitch file, which was extradited in 2017 after two escapes from Mexican prisons.
Experts say authorities have provided any evidence they need to send 61-year-old Guzman to a maximum security prison for the rest of their lives. But for that price it will be high.
The Sinaloa Cartel, which Guzman founded in 1989, remains strong.
Meanwhile his partner, Ishmael “ElMay” Zambada is still on the run.
Last year, 29,000 murders were registered in Mexico.
In the United States, meanwhile, the opium crisis has erupted.
In 2016, an average of 174 Americans lost their lives by overdose.
