Livin' la Vida LoCa: El Chapo's Son Sings for his Supper in Chicago Court
Chicago, Illinois – After a wild ride that ended in El Paso, Texas, Joaquín Guzmán López, son of the notorious Sinaloa Cartel boss El Chapo, will serenade the judge in a Chicago federal court today. López and his partner-in-crime, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia, took a private plane trip to Texas last Thursday, only to find themselves in handcuffs instead of on a beach sipping margaritas.
"The Justice Department has taken into custody two additional alleged leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel"... - Merrick Garland, US Attorney General
The dynamic duo, according to FBI Director Christopher Wray, oversaw a massive drug operation that trafficked enough fentanyl to keep a nation of liberals happy, along with "related violence." Lopez and Garcia now get to enjoy the hospitality of the US justice system and will face multiple charges for leading the cartel's criminal enterprises.
So tune in, grab some popcorn, and watch the trial of the century! These guys thought they were untouchable, but now they're singing a different tune.
Sinaloa Cartel: Busted in the Lone Star State
El Paso, Texas – Two kingpins bitten, many happy Texans. The Lone Star State dealt a blow to the violent and powerful Sinaloa Cartel, arresting its co-founder and alleged leader, "El Mayo," and the notorious "El Chapo's" son, Guzmán López. No more lively Latin tunes for these guys; they're facing the music and dancing to the FBI's tune now.
According to two officials, the men were detained after their plane touched tarmac, thanks to the FBI and DEA, who'd been hot on their tail for decades. It seems this cartel leadership has gone tone deaf, but their victims won't be singing their praises anytime soon.
Catch the trial livestream and see the characters in action. It'll be a riot!
