El Chapo's Son Extradited to US for Drug Charges

Ovidio Guzmán López, the son of Mexican drug lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera, also known as El Chapo, has been extradited to Chicago to face trial on federal drug charges. Guzmán López, one of El Chapo's four sons, was arrested in Culiacán, Mexico, in 2022 and is the first of his sons to be sent to the United States for prosecution. The case against Guzmán López and his brothers takes a sweeping look at drug sales and violent crimes dating back to 2008. The extradition is seen as a rare success in the attempts to prosecute El Chapo's sons, who inherited portions of their father's empire.
