Ovidio Guzman Lopez, son of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, pleaded guilty to four charges as part of a historic agreement with U.S. authorities. They are drug trafficking, money laundering and firearms charges related to his role as leader of the Sinaloa Cartel faction known as "Los Chapitos."
Ovidio has become the the first son cartel leader "El Chapo" to admit guilt in a U.S. court. According to witnesses, Guzmán arrived dressed in prison orange and shackles, acknowledging his leadership of the "Chapitos" faction, which prosecutors say flooded U.S. streets with "staggering" quantities of fentanyl, cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and marijuana.
