Drug kingpin El Chapo sentenced to life in prison, calls US government 'corrupt


The Mexican crime lord known as "El Chapo," was sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday during a hearing in Brooklyn in which he accused the U.S. government of corruption and alleged that he was the victim of inhumane treatment during his confinement.




The drug kingpin was convicted earlier this year of presiding over a vast criminal operation that funneled immense quantities of narcotics, including heroine and methamphetamine, into the United States.

El Chapo, whose real name is Joaquin Guzman Loera, earned billions of dollars while serving as the head of the Sinaloa Cartel, dubbed by government researchers the "the most powerful drug trafficking syndicate in the Western Hemisphere."




And he became a legend for his evasion of authorities. El Chapo twice escaped maximum security prisons in Mexico, including once through a mile-long tunnel. That reputation means El Chapo is likely to serve his time in the U.S. prison known as ADX Florence, located in Colorado. It is the highest-security federal prison in the country.

El Chapo's trial lasted three months and ended in February. He did not testify in his own defense.




The Sinaloa Cartel remains a dominant drug trafficking organization in Mexico and maintains distribution hubs in Phoenix, Los Angeles, Denver, and Chicago, according to the Drug Enforcement Administration.
