Joaqu\u00edn Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez, son of cartel boss Joaqu\u00edn “El Chapo<\/a>” Guzm\u00e1n, pleaded guilty in a Chicago federal courtroom Monday to drug-trafficking and continuing criminal enterprise charges, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez, 39, is among the so-called Chapitos, the group of brothers who took over a major faction of the Sinaloa cartel<\/a> after drug kingpin El Chapo\u2019s 2019 conviction and life sentence.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors say the brothers increased the production and distribution of narcotics, including fentanyl, and created a massive pipeline that funneled tens of thousands of kilograms of drugs into the U.S. each year, per reports.<\/p>\n

In court, wearing an orange jumpsuit, Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez replied when Judge Sharon Coleman asked about his occupation: “Drug trafficking,” he said, the Associated Press<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n

“Oh that\u2019s your job,” Coleman replied. “There you go,” she said.<\/p>\n

Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez pleaded guilty to two counts of drug trafficking<\/a> and continuing criminal enterprise after acknowledging his role in overseeing the transporting of drugs to the U.S., mostly through underground tunnels.<\/p>\n

Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez’s attorney said the plea deal<\/a> allows his client to avoid an automatic life sentence, according to the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said they would consider reducing his punishment further if he cooperates, though he still faces a mandatory minimum of 10 years and loses the right to appeal.<\/p>\n

Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez was arrested in July 2024 alongside longtime cartel figure Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada<\/a> after landing on a private jet in Texas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As part of his plea, Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez also admitted taking part in a violent kidnapping linked to cartel infighting.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said he ordered a window panel removed so armed men could storm a meeting, hood the victim, believed by some to be Zambada, drug him, and fly him to New Mexico.<\/p>\n

Monday\u2019s plea follows a similar agreement reached months earlier by his brother, Ovidio Guzm\u00e1n L\u00f3pez<\/a>, on trafficking and money-laundering charges.<\/p>\n

El Chapo himself remains in a maximum-security U.S. prison serving life without parole for running a multibillion-dollar trafficking empire. Prosecutors say his son stepped into his role.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
