Drug kingpin El Chapo's son prepares to tell US prosecutors 'everything he knows' about corrupt Mexican officials
Former Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's son, Ovidio Guzman Lopez, has pleaded guilty to four drug trafficking and organized crime charges in a US federal court, prosecutors said Friday.
Prosecutors accused Guzman Lopez of succeeding his father, who was arrested in 2016 and later extradited to the United States, as one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico.
Guzman Lopez, also known as "El Raton" (Spanish for "The Mouse"), "pleaded guilty to two counts of drug conspiracy and two counts of knowingly engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise," the US Attorney's Office in the Northern District of Illinois said in a press release
