Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán
Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán is a notorious Mexican drug lord and former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world. Born on December 25, 1957, in La Tuna, Badiraguato, Sinaloa, Guzmán rose to prominence in the 1980s and 1990s, overseeing vast operations that trafficked cocaine, marijuana, and other illegal substances into the United States and beyond. Known for his cunning and ability to evade law enforcement, he famously escaped from a maximum-security prison in 2015 through a tunnel dug by his associates. Guzmán was captured again in 2016 and extradited to the United States in 2017, where he faced numerous charges, including drug trafficking, money laundering, and involvement in organized crime. His trial in 2018 resulted in a life sentence, shedding light on the inner workings of the drug trade. El Chapo's influence continues to loom large in discussions about drug policy and organized crime in Mexico and the United States.
