Court case 'El Chapo' begins in a year

new york - The lawsuit against the Mexican drug baron Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzmán begins on April 16, 2018. That was announced on Friday by Judge Brian Cogan after a hearing in New York. He said that the date 'somewhat ambitious' is considering the complexity of the case and the amount of evidence that lawyers must study. This can lead to deferral.

The former boss of the mighty Sinaloa cartel is right in the US because of large-scale drug trafficking and leadership in a criminal organization. He was delivered early this year after being escaped from a heavily guarded prison in Mexico twice. In New York he is in solitary confinement. Protest against this was rejected.
