Two sons of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, a notorious cartel leader in Mexico, are currently in plea negotiations with the U.S. government regarding extensive drug-trafficking charges. Joaquin Guzmán López, 38, and Ovidio Guzmán López, 34, have both entered into plea discussions with federal prosecutors.
Initially pleading not guilty, the brothers were absent from a recent court hearing where Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Erskine mentioned the ongoing negotiations and the possibility of a global resolution.
