Joaquín Guzmán López, a son of notorious drug kingpin " El Chapo ," pleaded not guilty to drug trafficking and other charges Tuesday, days after an astonishing capture in the U.S.
Guzmán López and Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a longtime of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel were arrested by U.S. authorities in the El Paso, Texas-area last week, according to the Justice Department. Both men, who face multiple charges in the U.S., oversaw the trafficking of "tens of thousands of pounds of drugs into the United States, along with related violence," according to the FBI.
In recent years, Guzmán's sons have led a faction of the cartel known as the little Chapos, or "Chapitos," that has been identified as a main exporter of fentanyl to the U.S. market. Last year, U.S. prosecutors unsealed sprawling indictments against more than two dozen members of the Sinaloa cartel, Guzmán López and his brothers, in a fentanyl-trafficking investigation.
Zambada's attorney, Frank Perez, alleged his client was kidnapped by Guzmán López and brought to the U.S. aboard a private plane that landed near El Paso. Perez pushed back against claims that his client was tricked into flying into the country.
