El Chapo's Son Extradited to US for Drug Trafficking Charges

Ovidio Guzman Lopez, the son of notorious drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, has been extradited from Mexico to the United States to face drug trafficking charges. Guzman Lopez, along with two dozen others, was charged as part of a crackdown on a global drug trafficking network run by Mexico's Sinaloa cartel. The charges allege that the cartel used precursor chemicals from China to fuel the fentanyl crisis in the U.S. Guzman Lopez had been wanted by U.S. authorities since 2019 and was captured earlier this year. His father, El Chapo, is currently serving a life sentence in the U.S. for various criminal charges.
