Putra pemimpin kartel terkenal “El Chapo” mengaku bersalah dalam kasus perdagangan narkoba di AS

Ovidio Guzmán López, son of drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, plans to plead guilty to drug‑trafficking charges in the United States, according to newly filed court documents. Prosecutors say he and his brother led the “Chapitos” faction of the Sinaloa cartel, smuggling fentanyl into the U.S. and using brutal torture against rivals. Arrested in Mexico in 2023 and extradited to the U.S., Ovidio previously pleaded not guilty but is now expected to change his defense as part of a deal for a hearing on July 9 in Chicago, CBS News reported. The case arises amid ongoing cartel violence in Mexico between factions loyal to El Chapo’s sons and other leaders.
