Sinaloa Cartel Leaders Arrested In Dramatic US Extradition

WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange's supporters demonstrate against U.S. extradition in Barcelona

According to Mexican security official Rosa Icela Rodriguez, two sons of the infamous drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán, known as the “Chapitos,” reportedly made an agreement before one of them was arrested last month. Joaquín Guzmán López, who was apprehended along with Sinaloa cartel co-founder Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada after flying from Mexico to Texas, allegedly reached a deal with his brother Ovidio Guzmán López, who is currently in US custody awaiting trial on drug and money laundering charges.

Rodriguez stated that there was an agreement between the incarcerated Ovidio and the free Joaquín for their respective surrender to the United States. However, Ovidio's defense attorney, Jeffrey Lichtman, refuted Rodriguez's claim, calling it a fabrication and asserting that Ovidio had no contact with his brother since being in custody.
