Notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán filed an appeal on Friday against the life sentence he received in the United States last year, his lawyers said.
According to her, the first trial should be canceled, because one of the jurors later told the press that he and several of his colleagues consulted information about the case in the press and on social media, which they were prohibited from doing.
The lawyer also claims that the total isolation to which “El Chapo” has been subjected since his extradition to the United States in January 2017 prevented him from adequately preparing his defense.
Co-founder of the Sinaloa cartel, “El Chapo” was considered at that time the most powerful drug trafficker in the world. He was sentenced in July 2019 to life in prison by a Brooklyn federal court for transporting at least 1,200 tons of cocaine to the United States over a quarter of a century. “El Chapo” has been held in a high security prison in Colorado since his conviction.
