Joaquín 'Chapo' Guzmán is a former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most powerful and infamous drug trafficking organizations in the world. Born on December 25, 1957, Guzmán gained notoriety for his dramatic prison escapes and his role in the global drug trade, particularly in cocaine and heroin. He was captured multiple times and ultimately extradited to the United States, where he was sentenced to life in prison in 2019. His legacy continues to impact the drug landscape, as his former associates, including Ismael 'Mayo' Zambada, remain active in the cartel's operations.
