Joaquin Guzman Lopez, son of "El Chapo" Guzman, said he ordered a group of armed men drug fellow cartel kingpin Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada in the operation where he took him to the U.S. and turned him over to local authorities, according to his plea bargain.
The action was aimed at showing willingness to cooperate with Washington, according to Andrew Erskine, an attorney representing the U.S. He added that the U.S. does not sanction such behavior and Guzman Lopez wouldn't get leniency because of it.
