Former cartel boss Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman has pleaded for Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador to intervene because of the “cruel and unfair” conditions at his high-security prison in the United States.
The ex Sinaloa cartel leader has been incarcerated since 2017 and was sent to a super-max federal prison in Colorado after being sentenced to a life plus 30 years sentence in 2019.
Guzman was convicted of a string of drug and money laundering charges, but is now unhappy with conditions.
