Well, we interrupt our programming with this special report because the jury that decides on the future of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán already has its verdict. The five women and seven men that make up this panel began yesterday afternoon to deliberate this week on what for three months have been seeing in the federal court of brooklyn we give you with rebecca smith with the latest rebeca forward how are you jose very good afternoon indeed last minute information and we just heard less than a minute ago that indeed joaquín

guzm

án loera could be facing his verdict in These moments, of course, we have our team in there listening to what the verdict is and what is the deliberation that these 12 members of the jury have reached.

Remember, there are seven women and five men, well, it is in their hands to decide what the future is. From El Chapo we saw Emma Colonel enter around 10 in the morning and we saw the defense enter who today was quite calm and with a lot of doubt as to why it had taken so long for the members of the jury to reach a decision and they believe They believed that Eduardo Balarezo told us that in case it will take longer, well, it is most likely that they will not reach an agreement, but apparently there is an agreement and at this moment we are hearing the verdict as to what charges are being brought against him.

Let us remember that there are ten charges that Joaquín Guzmán Loera has against him. Within the first charge there are 27 violations and yesterday they had doubts regarding one of the violations and it had to be a unanimous decision that these 27 violations be found guilty or not guilty and if The prosecution could or could not prove, given the evidence presented, that Chapo was guilty of these violations and in addition to these 27 violations that belong to charge number 1, remember that he also has nine more charges against him. At this time we will be listening to him.

He could only face a guilty charge or nine in which he is not found guilty or vice versa voice 3iv and those of the rest of the seven not but we will only be able to know this with time in a while more jose rebeca these ten charges and to clarify these ten charges he faces at this time, if he is found guilty of one of them, he could already face life imprisonment, that is, if he is found guilty of one of the ten charges, of course, the ten charges, addition, the nine additional charges, since they would entail the repetition of a sentence, in fact, Jose El The first charge he is charged with is managing to lead a criminal organization.

With only that charge, if he is found guilty, he could be facing life in prison. This means that he would spend the rest of his days in prison, but let's assume that in that first charge he is not charged. finds him guilty but in other subsequent charges he could also be facing life in prison. It is incredible to think about these two and a half almost three months of trial in which more than 56 different witnesses have passed through that federal court in Brooklyn where you have been every day witnessing this event that is happening right now behind you and on your back, well, it is literally behind me, a fairly quiet court for us, of course, the journalists that we have been following very closely are critical moments after, as you say, Jose, 56 witnesses 200 hours of testimony we are finally reaching the conclusion of this trial against one of the most wanted criminals in modern history so we can see a fairly quiet court but inside we will start that our journalists but Rogelio Morata who is there inside because he is very attentive to what is happening and we have literally been in belo here because well we cannot enter this court until 6 in the morning but every day we arrive at dawn to train and to be able to enter and be able witness in person what awaits the chat at any moment we will then be finding out what the decision of that jury has been but the trial has been presided over by Judge Brian Cowen who is this young magistrate arrived at the Brooklyn court in 2006 after having He was appointed by the then president George Grupos, a good reputation precedes him, his position was approved by the US Senate 95 votes in favor, none against, he was assigned to the El Chapo trial in January 2017, just as El Chapo Guzmán was extradited to the US in his career.

Other important cases stand out, for example, the 45-year sentence of an al-Qaeda member for participating in a terrorist attack or when it was resolved that the Catholic Church should not provide

contra

ceptive methods due to a question of religious freedom in 2003, part of the process. of health reform known as obamacare, the jury assigned to this process against El Chapo has been made up of, as Rebecca Smith said, five women and seven men who are between 20 and 50 years old, three of them are immigrants from Asia, Africa and Europe, three others They speak Spanish and one of the women is of Hispanic origin.

They also remain anonymous for their own safety. They have been isolated or appeared during the trial and are always escorted by armed bailiffs. They have been able to stay at home but are picked up and then taken to their homes. houses by very armed federal agents there we see a bit of Chapo's jury as we have been describing it but this process is currently in the hands of that jury that has reached a decision everyone has had to reach a unanimous decision so that one or more All of the ten charges against Chapo Guzmán can be found guilty.

The big question is at this moment that these members of the jury have decided what they will say about these ten charges that include a series of horrific crimes and tens of thousands of kilos of cocaine. heroin methamphetamines imported into the United States at this moment they are already talking with the judge, they are meeting and they are informing them point by point charge by charge what the decision has been at any time so the information will come from that place where they are and they will bring it to us and here we will see it live through Telemundo news, the person who has been tried in these last three months is not just any man if he has characterized himself in something in his long period as a boss of bosses in addition to his business with drug trafficking.

It has been because of his persecutions, his arrests and his spectacular events. The life of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán has been marked by persecutions, tensions and escapes. We must go back to June 10, 1993, when the Mexican authorities announced for the first time his capture in Guatemala. He was tried and sentenced to 20 years in prison, the first surprise came on January 18, 2001 when he escaped from the Puente Grande prison in a laundry cart with the help of some officials. After more than a decade on the run, he was arrested in the port of Mazatlán, Mexico in a navy operation and then transferred to a maximum security prison in the altiplano in the state of Mexico in the federal social rehabilitation center number 1 altiplano the escape of Joaquín Guzmán Loera was recorded but in July 2015 as if from a movie tried to escape through a mile-long tunnel dug to his cell two months later, Mexican authorities were on the verge of capturing him in the northeast of the country shortly after his encounter with actress Kate del Castillo on September 8.

January 2016, Mexico announced the recapture of the shampoo on January 19, 2017. He was extradited to the United States and the next day he was presented in the federal court of Brooklyn, New York, on November 12, 2018. Two years after his extradition, the trial against him began. who is said to be one of the most famous criminals of the 21st century we are going directly to Mexico raúl torres this and raúl has already learned about this breaking news that the jury in the case of el

chapo

guzm

án has already reached a verdict connect jose well, here we are with that expectation and of course waiting for the various reactions not only from the people but also even from the government itself after the intense hunt that took place in this country for years in the search for what was always Considered public enemy number one, the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, one of the characters who brought the most drugs from Colombia or what they did here to take them to the United States, also one of the main generators of violence that has been experienced in recent years. years in this country Jose so we are just waiting for the verdict to be given and of course the reactions here in Mexico one of the things that have come to light in these almost three months of trial in Brooklyn is when The federal government, one of the witnesses for the prosecution says that he witnessed when Chapo Guzmán sent him 100 million dollars of tremendous bite to Enrique Peña Nieto, although the president had not yet assumed the presidency, he had asked for 250 million dollars, that's how it is.

One of the pieces of information that was known very recently here in Mexico, there was no, let's say an official revelation on this issue, there was no reaction from the now former president Enrique Peña Nieto - nor was there an official version from the government, but what was It is known that one of the ways in which the Sinaloa cartel, the cartel of the so-called boss of bosses, the boss of bosses, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, El Chapo, was precisely because of his ability to corrupt authorities at all levels, it was precisely one of the weapons that he Jose had to become one of the criminal organizations, not the most powerful in Mexico but the most powerful in the world at the time.

Not much is known exactly if this bribe that he would have given to President Enrique Peña Nieto really occurred - just before he took office. the presidency but what is a fact is that we know about the corrupting power of Joaquín Guzmán Loera and the Sinaloa José cartel and in addition to the amount of money that this drug cartel handles, authors, thank you very much, it is important to emphasize that the president of Enrique Peña Grandson at the time denied having received this money from Joaquín Chapo Guzmán or from anyone related to his cartel.

Now we are going to Barry Leonard Ine, criminal lawyer, doctor. Thank you for being with us on this historic day and we already see that at any moment we will know exactly what it was. what the jury decided, but they are ten charges, very very serious doctor, what is happening right now we have the criminal lawyer with us, well, I haven't done it either, listen well, doctor, listen to me, listen to me, I wanted to ask you, as a criminal lawyer, with this process is being followed at this moment in the trial in the place where the jury is meeting what is happening apparently the jury has sent the judge a note saying that they have already reached a verdict right now we are waiting for the degrees enter the arteries and they are going to read this verdict to every court, the court and to everyone, so doctor, it is important to emphasize that of these ten charges, each one is very serious, if it is a corpus and if he is found guilty of only one, he could face life sentence life in prison without a doubt the first body was loaded he has 27 his charge this charge carries a sentence of life imprisonment if the jury decides that he is in fact guilty of this charge it has been a very long trial with a lot of evidence 56 witnesses thousands and thousands of pages of documents and everyone here in New York is waiting for this historic newspaper to ask a question in reality that they have taken almost two weeks in deliberations, to you as an expert it tells you something that it took so long time or it is not unusual for a jury that has to deal with so much evidence so much testimony to take time in the experience as a lawyer of this 25 years jurors take their role very seriously in deciding the guilt or lack of guilt of a defendant of They have applied all the laws, the rules, the regulations that they have received from the website.

It is necessary to review all of the charges to determine in each charge whether there is sufficient evidence to support the charge, Baridon Florina, criminal lawyer. Thank you very much for being with us and now we are just returning. outside the federal building in brooklyn with rebeca rebeca tell us a little about how and when the news started to come out that this jury had already reached a decision well jose around 12 noon we could hear that the jury had precisely as The lawyer said it, the neighborhood had delivered a note to the judge, this means that they have news or questions like the ones we have seen throughout these two weeks, well almost two weeks, and also in this case we were able to hear that they had reached a verdict.

This means that there was a unanimous decision in the entire list of the eight pages that this verdict sheet consists of, there was a unanimous decision and at 12:14 p.m. we could hear that there was indeed a verdict at that moment, of course, all the journalists including our correspondent Rogel and Morata who entered the courtroom to be able to listen to all these instructions from the jury to the judge where they classify Joaquín Guzmán Loera as responsible or not responsible for the charges that are being brought against him again. ten counts jose and within the first count by only proving that he is guilty on one of the counts he could face a minimum of ten years or life imprisonment and all these years are also cumulative so we will have to hear where joaquín guzmán has been found guilty loera and where not or if the ten charges have actually been declared guilty and he has been proven guilty by the prosecution what we are seeing is Joseseveralmany to several people several police officers are leaving the court, I imagine to protect because they are preparing for many people and a lot of movement of which will come after once the judge has spoken of course with all the members of the jury and has Having read this verdict sheet, there is a lot of movement, we can see here Ninoska 9, which is this police force that has the dogs, we can also see, we have seen snipers yesterday leaving this one of the firsts of the court, the entire block is also completely protected, security yesterday we showed it and we mentioned it, they have been on maximum alert, there have even been several, several members of this court have been prepared, several workers in interest have prepared in case there was an active gunman, so security is on maximum alert because we are reaching the minimum action Of these three months of trial, José, since we have been so much Esperanza and yesterday in world news as they had, srb says, we provide you with detailed information on some of the rehearsal exercises that police officers have done to prevent any type of incident that It could happen where El Chapo Guzmán is, where his wife is.

Forgive me, Jose. Forgive me for interrupting you, but they are giving me information that Joaquín Guzmán Loera was actually found guilty on charge number one. He could be facing life in prison and the number one charge, which is leading a criminal organization, is with only that charge. In the event that he is found guilty, specialists have told us that he could be facing his entire life in prison, so he has just given us information that is Of course we are hearing that last minute information right now and it is that Chapo Guzmán has indeed been found guilty on charge number one that has the 27 subsequent violations, very important and I want us to continue monitoring exactly the information as it is reaching us this first Perhaps one of the most important charges of continued participation in a criminal enterprise carries the possibility that Chapo will live the rest of his life in a high-security federal prison, including his relationship with leaders of the North Valley cartel and other distributors 26 violations, as Rebecca Smith said, of international standards prohibiting the distribution of cocaine, heroin and marijuana and conspiracy to commit murder between January 1989, months before the arrest of Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo 'the boss of bosses' that is the first charge that according to rebecca smith the jury has found joaquín el

chapo

guzmán guilty the other charges of also very great importance second count of international conspiracy to produce and distribute cocaine heroin methamphetamines and marijuana in the third count conspiracy to import cocaine the fourth also to import and distribute cocaine the Other charges include distribution of cocaine internationally, use of firearms and the tenth charge is conspiracy to launder profits from drug trafficking.

El Chapo guilty in one of the ten charges, perhaps the one with the most weight, the first one this jury has determined. that Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán is guilty of that, we are still waiting here on Telemundo news live and direct for what the decision of this jury was for the other nine charges, Rebeca, do you have more information? Well, we are seeing a lot of movement, a lot is still coming out. people we are not seeing more police but what we are seeing are journalists come out the information we have confirmed up to this point jose is that indeed joaquín guzmán loera has been found guilty of charge number 1 charge number 1 has 27 violations including very specific violations that They are related to, as you already said, Jose, with the Valle del Norte cartel, so within these 27 violations there were specific charges of what date and how much cocaine was imported into the United States, this charge being the charge that the police were most afraid of. defense of Joaquín Guzmán Loera because it is only with this charge that José is found guilty, which we already saw that he was found guilty, well, he is facing life in prison and Rebecas will need more information to share with you here live on Telemundo News as we have knowledge of sources in him in court joaquín el chapo guzmán found guilty of ten of the ten charges overwhelming the decision of this jury that for almost three months has been listening to hours and hours of heartbreaking testimonies sometimes 56 witnesses there have been hundreds of hours of testimony happiness abelleyra The jury's statement today joins this

telemundo

news broadcast.

It is compelling, no, but after several days of us all wondering why it was taking so long, it was said that the good thing was that this jury was taking it very seriously. his role we are talking about a man, a drug trafficker with more than 30 years of criminal activity who is estimated to have collected more than 14 billion dollars and who you also know that it is interesting to talk about has a wife who continues to defend him, a very young woman of 29 years who has been there almost every day and accompanied him during the trial and also endured hearing that there will be talk about other women in his life and even that she will be named as a participant in her life back in 2015 of her husband and also that they helped him or that he sent him text messages telling him to keep his weapons because there was going to be a police raid, that is, we have been, our colleagues have witnessed a trial that could become a great movie but we are talking about the real life of a person who, most likely, will no longer live in freedom again, we can almost assure you that Rebecas is on the outskirts of the trial jury.

Also, go ahead, Rebeca Jose Happiness, once again, I have last-minute information. And Joaquín Guzmán Loera has been found guilty of the ten charges, this is a unanimous decision of course and that facing life imprisonment is the most likely. Of course, the reading of the sentence could come at any minute or it could come in the subsequent weeks. But what we do know for sure is that at this time Joaquín Guzmán Loera has been found guilty of the charges against him such as conspiracy to traffic drugs, possession of firearms, and the contribution of firearms had to be directly linked. with the handling of drug trafficking and he was even found guilty of conspiracy to launder money from drug trafficking, so also Joaquín Guzmán Loera, Chapó's defense has just sent a statement that they are evidently very disconcerted by the unanimous decision reached by the jury we will of course try to talk to the defense to see what the reactions are and we will also try to let you know as soon as possible what the reaction and gesticulation of El Chapo was, of course, at this moment Emma Colonel is there inside she is inside the court and Jose is inside the room, of course, listening to this information that we are sending to you.

It is important to emphasize that Chapo Guzmán is in the room, his wife is in the room, the lawyers are in that room and the tax lawyers are also in that room with the judge. Heger, they are then listening to the court's decision in each of these cases, although we have already been able to know that the decision was unanimous and that Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán is guilty of the ten charges against him. we are receiving so we will be very aware of what this is like and also the important thing that we must clarify is how much time it took you to read these are 8 letter size sheets of verdict sheet and on each of these sheets there is a number of questions and makes the first charge and the subsequent violations of the second third and so on until the tenth charge so at this moment what we have just received the last minute information that we have is that Joaquín Guzmán Loera is indeed guilty of the ten charges so we also have this information sorry, we are live, he is also telling us that juror number 11 gives the form to the judge, the judge reads it personally, this is how it happens, so the person in charge of delivering the decision by the jury was juror number 11.

Let's remember, Jose, that he didn't know. They can handle their names for fear that there may be reprisals since he is one of the most wanted drug traffickers in the modern history of the world and because Judge Brian Hogan has also considered Joaquín Guzmán Loera as a dangerous man and That is why only the members of the jury have been handled by numbers and it was jury number 11 that was in charge of giving the note to the judge so that the judge could personally read that Joaquín Guzmán Loera has indeed been found guilty.

Let us remember the first charge is the leader of a criminal organization and of the 27 violations in charge number 1 the jury found him guilty of all the violations except violation 18 and number 24 so of the 27 they could only find him guilty of the 25 violations it was the responsibility of the prosecution to have provided sufficient evidence so that there was no reasonable doubt so that they could declare him guilty, then the prosecution could only prove 25 of the 27 violations that I repeat belong to charge number 1 and the three questions at the end of charge number one also the The jury found them guilty of all of them, including those involving Joaquín Guzmán Loera in the death.

Let us remember that the subject who was in charge of describing how Joaquín Guzmán Loera had murdered three members of rival cartels was my min, this subject who worked was His hitman was his assistant and he was in charge of telling how Joaquín Guzmán Loera had pulled the trigger on three different members of the Zetas cartels and also the Arellano Félix and the jury also found Joaquín Guzmán Loera guilty of all ten charges. and this is day number 44 and six days after the deliberations Joaquín Guzmán Loera is finally found guilty, it is something curious, many people would think that on day number 1 of deliberations they were going to reach a verdict but apparently not the jury He did his job, he began to read, they understood how this verdict sheet worked after they received instructions from Judge Brian Cowen and finally six days later they reached a verdict.

Remember, on November 5, this trial began with the selection of the jury, which is the jury that today decides what the future of Chapo Jose is, thank you very much, real, stay, stay with us, we are thinking on the speaker a little about what is happening right behind Rebecca's back. Look in English, the ten printed charges are 25 pages and the jury is number 11. What has given him the judge's decision is that he has had to read page by page each word of the accusations against Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán and then certify the jury's decision regarding that charge.

There are ten counts 25 pages What are you reading there in front of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán in front of his wife in front of the lawyers and prosecutors? Lawyer Carrillo Luís Carllo, criminal lawyer, is with us today from Los Sangres, Doctor, thank you for being with us, tell us a little about this process, said Rebecca Smith. That of this first charge, perhaps the most important, they have found Chapo Guzmán guilty of 25 of the 27 sub-charges, but this entails life behind bars, right, doctor, of course, if only finding him guilty of three of the sub-charges was already prison for life but at 25 now he is definitely going to be in prison for the rest of his life lawyer I would like to ask you today happiness nice to greet you we do not know about laws there is a possibility for the defenders of the chaco to present a counterclaim or some next defense only in an appeal and they may find that there were errors on the part of the judge or the prosecutor's office but the most likely thing is that the appeal will not be successful due to so much compelling evidence that they had against El Chapo, which means this prison punishment. for life is that he now faces the possibility of being sent to the Colorado prison where they call him superman and there they have the terrorists in 'superman' they extend the most dangerous ones and they have him in a cell 23 23 hours a day in a cell small, this is not so much a person to go crazy, these conditions, lawyer, we have another question, is it your experience, what do you think that those who accused Chapo have presented 56 witnesses to testify against him while his own defense presented one because this strategy, well, I can't read the minds of the defense attorneys but in view of the 56 that were presented against him in my opinion perhaps they would have presented more witnesses to try to convince some of the jurors who had a reasonable doubt not to find him guilty and I don't know why what they presented to us more more witnesses is in favor of the cap doctor that's just having found them to hide it in 25 of the 27 sub-charges of the first charge which is why he already turns for the rest of his life to a super max a supermax prison probably doctor in in Colorado, which by the way looks nothing like the Altiplano prison in Mexico through which Chapo Guzmán was able to complete a high-tech tunnel with lights and motorcycles to escape from the Super Max.

The doctor looks nothing like the Altiplano prison.Of course, it's nothing like the prisoners. They are super watched but they are not mixing with other prisoners. They are isolated in some cells by themselves, a small faithful cell almost all day long, so that is a very harsh punishment, so that is what he faces because the main charge carried the cash of prison for life the first charge and there are nine additional charges for which he has also been found guilty in these pressures of supermax the doctor ran me wrong site I think they allow one or two family visits per year I think in Christmas and on another day, relatives can visit prisoners in a supermax.

Look, I'm not informed if there are three visits or less, yes, those are the conditions, but of course they limit access to relatives and also try to interfere with access to lawyers but that prison in Colorado is so isolated that it will be difficult to get there first and number two the conditions that they impose on the visits no it is not face to face through glass and the scepter and doctor as for what he the defense team of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán may be looking for on what could be based for an appeal to a judgment that the jury has been forceful in its decision of after reviewing so much information so much good testimony only if there were errors in the presentation of the court's instructions they have to look for that they have to look for maybe some of the jurors were completely honest when they were explaining their past their experience their for example if some hidden juror that is missing in police that would be very significant but the evidence of The federal courts, the federal prosecutors have so many resources that they handle the cases very seriously and with enough evidence, so in my opinion, not presenting more witnesses in favor of Chapo, power, in my opinion, a lawyer error, I had a doubt while it was being carried out. this trial against El Chapo and his wife was mentioned to Emma Colonel, implicating her because she really did cooperate in something as i

llega

l as helping someone escape from jail plus other things like how would happen, do you think he's going to someone to press charges against this woman, it is possible that they could do it but most likely they are not going to do it because this would be too much.

She is the mother of two little girls so it would be quite cruel to press charges against her wife in my opinion and I doubt that they are going to do it and doctor, the others who participated in this trial, I am thinking of the brothers in Chicago who received so much drugs from the Chapo Guzmán cartel, these are already within the American criminal process, they could because of their statements and their testimony receiving a sentence is not minimized, this possibility exists. The prosecutors have so much power that they can ask the judge, due to this cooperation of these two individuals, to reduce the sentence so that they can be released before serving their sentence.

This possibility exists, lawyer Luís Carllo, many Thank you for speaking with us about a topic as complicated as this criminal trial. Thank you for clarifying our doubts. Thank you for this privilege and many greetings, also a lawyer. those of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán also those of Emma Colonel forward Rogelio yes thank you very much happiness because here I am with Rebecca Smith who has covered this trial from beginning to end and yes the truth is that you cannot imagine the electricity that was in that court Rebeca when The information began to spread that they had seen Judge Kogan's assistant say there is a verdict.

Someone saw that she said that. That's when this rumor began to circulate, which the Marsan judges later confirmed. This happened at approximately 12 noon, that is, at 12 with 0 minutes, all this was happening in this room, I repeat, it was filled with a very tense atmosphere, the truth is, people began to enter, there were people inside, I was in there, we were just thinking about whether we were going out to eat and suddenly this came and well Everyone stayed and other journalists arrived, more assistants arrived because from the prosecution the defense lawyers were inside, well, the truth is that it was an impressive moment and of course when Joaquín Guzmán Loera entered we were all very attentive to his expressions, they were not greater Rebecca was basically the chapo that you had throughout everything, that is to say, an inexpressive chapó did not react to any of the charges in a special way and neither did Emma Colonel, that is, she also accepted this verdict in a calm manner without major gestures, without major things, Chapo told him The only thing he did was that when she entered he greeted her as he always did, that was the first thing he did and then he hugged his three lawyers but the truth was that at a very very very moment he was very charged with electricity and he kept on because normally the colonel lends him some headphones that are translating everything that is happening like this happening in court she had headphones and that normally she is holding her hair like you saw her if they had them this time she was not holding her hair she was sitting most of the time despite that many of us journalists stopped to get a better image of Joaquín Guzmán, she was sitting, she had one arm leaning on the bench and she wasn't doing anything else, she was attentive, but when they began to read the verdict and when they said for the first time that her husband was guilty of the first charge, the most important one, the one that automatically puts him in prison for life.

He also did not make a very expressive gesture regarding the defense because the defense for them was good that they had not reached a verdict in these six days and even this Tomorrow, Eduardo Balarezo, one of Joaquín Guzmán Loera's lawyers told us that if they passed today, well, maybe they could reach a verdict that does not agree, which would imply other situations, but as you saw the defense, the defense was also with faces. long since it was announced that there was a verdict or rebeca, I think they knew that they were going to lose this case, perhaps the fact that more time passed could be taken in a positive way for them, but if you analyze the fact that On all charges, Joaquín Guzmán Loera was found guilty, since it cannot be said that they carried out a successful job.

Rogelio let us know when the verdict would be read. It will be June 20 of the sentence. June 25 at 10 in the morning. Tell me, Jose, did you have a question that was the same one that Rebecas just asked me? June 25 at 10 in the morning. The sentence will be handed down by Judge Brian Hogan. He is the one in charge of deciding, but well, we practically know what it will be. Because, having been found guilty on all charges, there is no other alternative for Joaquín Guzmán Loera. He will spend the rest of his life in prison unless something extraordinary, something extravagant, happens between now and then, not even when he is in prison.

It is important to emphasize that you also know this case, what the judge has to do from today until June 25 when the charges are formally published. It is important because the judge has very important duties now and Jose, well basically It will be to analyze very well everything that has happened with the jury's verdict, but in reality, Jose, I believe that there is not much more to do, that is, in reality, in the things that Joaquín Guzmán Loera was not found guilty within the ten charges He is guilty on all charges but these charges had sub-charges also called violations and for example on charge one who was 27 was only found guilty on two, meaning that in reality everything that has happened is too forceful and the judge Well, basically it will come with a decision made on June 25, that's right, and what we saw, I know, is that during these six days of deliberations, what the jury was also requesting were the testimonies of those closest to us and workers, whether they are workers with parents who were friends of El Chapo, so they were requesting the transcripts of the testimonies of the people closest to El Chapo who could harm him the most.

Yes, and look, Jose would also like to tell you, for example, that perhaps what diminished the reaction of everyone in court was that when he brian hogan received the verdict he asked all of us who were present there to not have any reaction to the verdict so in reality it was not that the people who were there are media, they are these companions of the prosecution companions of the defense could not have any type of reaction, perhaps that is due to the fact that everything was handled in a very calm manner and yet, I tell you, the feeling that we get is that we lived in a moment of great tension although the reactions of the characters did not reflect it because rogelio moratalla and rebeca suites that from where they are we have much more to address today happiness that is jose in this trial we have seen how some of the witnesses who came called by the prosecution spoke against him about him Chapo Guzmán, the list is long and some of them had been very, very close to Joaquín Guzmán, let's see among the 56 witnesses who testified at Joaquín's trial, Chapo Guzmán highlighted the betrayal of his former partners before the jury, several of those companions recounted atrocious crimes in the chat, one of them was jesús el rey zambada, his former lieutenant in mexico city and younger brother of el mayo zambada, narrated what the operations of the sinaloa cartel were like from colombia to new york, he said that they bribed politicians and soldiers in mexico and revealed that Guzmán ordered the murder of one of his partners only because he did not want to shake his hand at the end of a meeting, another was Juan Carlos Ramírez Abadía alias Chupeta, one of his Colombian cocaine suppliers appeared with a face deformed by plastic surgeries and called the Pay attention to his unvarnished stories of how Guzmán achieved respect for his methods of crossing drugs into the United States through tunnels on the border.

For his part, Pedro Flórez, who was his drug distributor in Chicago, explained how he trafficked narcotics in several American cities. But one of the most anticipated witnesses was Vicente Zambada Nieve Vicentillo, the son of his former partner Vicentillo, for all the details of Chapo's escape from the Puente Grande prison in 2001 and the problems they had with the Carrillo Fuentes brothers. His testimony was classified as a betrayal of his father, one of the biggest surprises came from xxi sources Villa stated that former Mexican president Enrique Peña Nieto requested a payment of 250 million dollars from El Chapo for his political campaign but said that they only gave him 100 million.

He also stated that The Beltrán Leyva cartel paid the army to attack Guzmán's people during the presidency of Felipe Calderón Lucero Sánchez. La Chapó, a deputy, was his lover and supplier of marijuana. However, in court he assured that Guzmán took advantage of their love relationship to ask him that he trafficked marijuana and would launder money for his cartel, but one of the most important testimonies was that of Dámaso López, the financial operator of the Sinaloa cartel. The lawyer revealed bloodthirsty ice cream of El Chapo, speaking about at least six murders of rivals and traitors that the capo ordered. and left more pearls burning Colonel coordinated the escape of El Chapo from the Altiplano prison in Mexico and blamed the gangster's children for the crime of journalist Javier Valdez without a doubt a true series of nothing more than happiness each of those testimonies like grains of sand built a barrier from which the defense could not get out was simply too much now so more than grains of sand fell like blocks, not exactly building those four walls that now it will not be able to get out of and there were many elements that were mentioned in it.

In the piece that we saw Julio Baquero for the series is that series about drug traffickers are so popular at the moment, now they have more material directly related from the same actors in real life if there is already an end point at least in the freedom of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán and to be able to carry out his activities as he has been able to do in the past when he was in the same high security prisons in Mexico from which Raúl Torres escaped. Raúl Torres is in Mexico. Raúl has already known this news in Mexico and The big question we have is what impact this could have on the drug cartels.

Well, interesting, important, Jose, because we must remember that in Mexico in recent years, in the last two governments from 2006 until and still until now, there has been Let's say a reconversion on the map of the drug cartels, there has been what has been called the war and sorry the drug trafficking war precisely because every time a leader of some of the organizations falls, well, there is a confrontation within of the groups themselves and other groups that try to take those places, those places were to a large extent the mechanics with which Chapo Guzmán and the Sinaloa cartel grew until they became the criminal organization so powerful that they were because Chapo Guzmán headed the Sinaloa cartel. sinaloa that at some point went and entered other territories territories that belonged to other cartels and there were real wars, real confrontations that plunged entire populations into events of violence and we must remember here one point in Jose and that is that although he always I have said that Joaquín Hernández Joaquín Guzmán Loera El Chapo Guzmán had been and was for a long time the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, he always gave himself afigure and behind that for many have considered the true leader of the Sinaloa cartel who is Ismael 'el Mayo' Zambada, one of his sons was a fundamental piece in the trial that has just ended and in that sense José had already passed when Chapo Guzmán was captured, then he escaped and then to be captured again and finally extradited, well, at that moment, real confrontations took place within the Sinaloa cartel precisely to take over the leadership that at some point they assumed Chapo Guzmán had already left.

As happened when he was captured in 2014 after many years of being close to remaining in hiding, at that time there were many confrontations and a lot of violence in Sinaloa and other parts of the country precisely to take El Chapo's place. Guzmán, however, what they did not expect is that in July 2015, El Chapo Guzmán was going to escape for the second time from a maximum penalty, this time it was in the highlands and that he escaped, as we all know, through a tunnel of almost one inch. mile long returned and El Chapo returned to take the leadership of the Sinaloa cartel again and well after until he was captured and then again a confrontation occurred between fundamentally between the sons of Chapo Guzmán and Dámaso López who had been a figure that He was even a compadre, he is a compadre of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán, so after this news has been made known, it will be necessary to see if there will be a recomposition within the Sinaloa cartel and also among other cartels that could try to take positions. in which the cartel dominates the Sinaloa cartel José Raúl Torres greets you happiness Abelleyra from here obviously we perceive how people in the USA have followed this trial but you from Mexico from the country of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán how have you perceived the reaction of the population because, for example, we have heard forceful statements where, well, people who worked within the government at all levels and who are said to have been bribed, how do you see the reaction of the people because we know that some parts of society are even fond of joaquín el chapo guzmán this is happiness good reactions of all kinds first of all of course in mexico everyone everyone has been paying attention everyone has been paying attention to what has been happening with the trial precisely because it is one of the characters it even seems of the popular culture of this country in Sinaloa, as you say, in some places, and even Chapo Guzmán is loved because there are places where the government practically did not exist, where the government seemed to be precisely Chapo Guzmán and the Sinaloa cartel, so this It has caused everyone to be pending the trial against Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán but even more so because there are some places where he is remembered because they brought gifts to the children, gifts on Mother's Day, let me tell you that even now There is one in Culiacán there is a chapel for the saint of the drug traffickers that is what they call him he is Jesus Malverde he is part of popular culture there is in the area there was a thief the story is that he was a thief the law is that he is a thief who He was helping others, he was arrested, he died and then they built this chapel for him.

Well, in that place they are now starting to sell figures of El Chapo Guzmán and there have even been cases where some go and pray to him. The figure of Joaquín is that big. El Chapo Guzmán, but not only that, a few weeks ago when the information emerged that he had bribed former president Enrique Peña Nieto - before he took office, well, we were there outside the presidential house because now it is a museum, it is no longer the official residence we were there asking people what they thought about the fact that Chapo Guzmán had bribed Enrique Peña Nieto and well, I don't know if it's incredible or not, but what I do say is that many people said yes, which Peña Nieto could have received that bribery, although good, of course, many people in his government who worked with him during the government denied denied this information, I thought another of the things that came to light in this almost three-month process was how this criminal organization not only according to the prosecution witness I gave him bites then candidate to be president about to take power Enrique Peña gave but they gave money to all mayors municipalities governors federal police everyone had to be given money to operate like this forgive me because I think it is about to begin and you I apologize reducers in Mexico the press conference is about to begin by officials I don't know if they are the defense attorneys or the prosecutors in New York that seems to be the defense team let's see I am a prosecutor here in the district of new york his destiny the prosecutor of the eastern district of new york a few minutes ago a federal jury here in the eastern district found joaquín el chapo guzmán loera guilty on all counts of the federal indictment in some cases the jury determined that guzmán led the sinaloa cartel the largest drug trafficking organization in the world that was responsible for acts of violence including homicides and the smuggling of massive quantities of narcotics into the united states for decades we hope that this decision carries a sentence of life in prison without bail there is no escape nor go back this is a victory for the American people who suffered for so long and so much while Marc made billions placing poison through our minds in blue this is a victory also for the Mexican people who lost more than 100 thousand lives for violence linked to drugs this statement is a victory for all the families who have lost loved ones in that black hole of addiction there are those who say that the war on drugs should not be fought they are wrong every day we lose American lives every day this country is being harmed by drug addiction and every seizure every arrest every guilty plea is part of a noble effort to save american lives this decision was due to a tremendous team effort within the department of justice first i want thank the team that worked in the leisure an unstable team made up of prosecutors encouragement of criticism to this fill it andré malraux patricia born for south florida the deputy prosecutor to the lawyers and alice that the money from the dangerous substances division In Washington, along with DEA ​​officials, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security presented notable evidence of Guzmán's guilt.

I also want to thank the legal assistants at Melissa Pérez Rosado Jiménez and others who supported the team of fellow prosecutors in the prosecutor's offices of the northern hanoi the southern district of new york the writing southern california the district of texas for their enormous contribution to this effort i also want to extend our the foundation in the price of the us marshals service the new york police officials of the court the federal protective service department of national media and other services protected the court and its surroundings during quite serious situations this trial has drawn the curtain on international drug trafficking like no other trial did although it revealed that smoking is their coconuts peter were responsible for the smuggling of hundreds of tons of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamines and marijuana into the United States also made it clear that they were able to cooperate on that scale due to endemic corruption.

This is unacceptable and must end. This is a crucial day but there will be another. We want to thank you for something. a fair and efficient process we want to especially thank the members of the jury for their commitment, their patience and the tedious attention they paid to the evidence during this prolonged process I would like to now leave you with the acting DEA administrator good afternoon I am the acting director of the DEA In this guilty plea by Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán demonstrates the dedication and determination of the men and women of the US Anti-Narcotics Directorate to bring the world's most political drug trafficker to the news El Chapo is responsible for unimaginable amounts of death and destruction in the US and in their own country the commando drugs were many American families simply because of their greed and desire for power this statement is a notable victory for the thousands of DEA agents around the world our law enforcement partners in the US Mexico and around of the world who worked tirelessly to bring this man to justice the success of this case is a testament to the strength of our relationship with our Mexican allies we will continue fighting together Mexico to defeat the cartels individuals who are bringing poison to our countries and communities we hope that this verdict demonstrates that the entire world should know that wherever the drug traffickers become, the US anti-drug directorate will never exist and they will have to answer for their crimes, the DEA will continue to work. in it to protect Americans from the scourge of i

l drugs thank you For the past 12 weeks the American public around the world have been watching up close the rise and fall of the leader of the most notorious and infamous criminal organization in the world El Chapo was synonymous of wealth, power, fortune and fame, however, throughout the trial, many witness testimonies, the American public around the world were able to see the truth about El Chapo, a relentless killer, a violent man, a trafficker, arms dealer, money launderer and manipulator, El Chaco was the man behind the curtain he pulled the strings he directed the production the smuggling the transportation the distribution of billions and billions of dollars in narcotics in the US el chapo was the leader of the escaló cartel the cartel was responsible for placing thousands of tons and marijuana and our communities and neighborhoods across the country today's verdict is a victory for law enforcement authorities but even more special is that it is today a victory for justice justice for the thousands and thousands of drug overdose victims justice for the families for their friends for the communities for their cities the Sinaloa cartel is largely responsible for the crisis of others and more because the Sinaloa cartel was the one that introduced into the United States but Mexican life combined with fentanyl so it has been justice served I want to thank all of our partners in the NYPD drug directorate the state church and I also thank our federal soldiers in the Eastern District of New York and the service of something like this is of state and local law enforcement agencies that They worked there to capture, extradite and eventually reach the guilty plea of ​​Chapo my name is the director of the fbi thank you today's message with this verdict is a very powerful statement man of the victims around the world and countless police officials who lost their life beating this individual I want to express our gratitude to the people who worked with us across the country this would not have been possible without a close alliance in the US and the rest of the world the people behind me are an image of the good of this situation and work very intensely to give justice to all those affected.

Thank you, national investigation manager. I want to begin by saying that today is a historic day for the US justice system. Two years ago, Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán was extradited to the United States to face charges of Those who were guilty today took the opportunity to mention that later they were going to face US justice, they were having their impact and today we can say that US justice has been served by putting an end to their days, their murders and their acts of violence, all of this to sustain the efforts of drug trafficking to poison our cities here in our country.

Getting to this important day sooner requires a vast community and massive government effort to congratulate the fiscal heroes who handled this case in the last 12 weeks of tirelessly to achieve the guilty verdict I also want to congratulate the countless investigators and police agencies in the US and elsewhere who worked hard to ensure that El Chapo was investigated that they are captured that he was extradited that they will face their accusations even if they were guilty I want to highlight the efforts of the special agents from our office in phoenix and especially here in new york the el dorado force who worked with the dea with the g20 with the new york police and other agencies to achieve this I must also indicate that one of the important things It is the fact that it sends a resonant and forceful message to the enemies, whoever they are, who are involved in drug trafficking, as he was using it, they are not unattainable in their assets, they are not untouchable, a couple of comments for the Spanish-speaking press on a historic day.

The guilty verdict against Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán two years ago when El Chapo Guzmán landed here in the United States is particularly here in New York to face the charges for which he was found guilty today I had the opportunity to tell him that the realization of facing American justice was perceived in the environment and today I tell you that American justice has served a significant dose to Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán in this way ending his day of trafficking drugs ending his days of killing people and carrying out violent actsall with the purpose of poisoning our streets with cocaine, heroin and other types of narcotics, this type of work, this type of event would not have been possible if it were not for the prosecutors who carried out this case in a class A team. agents and investigators from all the agencies that participated worldwide to carry out this investigation to catch Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán to extradite him, prosecute them and today ensure the guilty verdict I want to highlight the agents of my agency from the internal security office in short ex and also here in new york del dorado you are working hard with the dea agents the fbi and here in the city with the new york police to carry out this monumental investigation I want to close this notice is this verdict of guilt sends a clear message to all those individuals who, like the chapo who want to see me, worship in our streets, they are not untouchable, they are not tireless and their day will come.

Thank you very much to all of you and I thank you for your patience and your hard work. Spanish concludes the conference. from the press the statements of the prosecution that today has had a resounding victory happiness that's right or if we talk about a drug trafficker joaquín guzmán loera 30 years of criminal career who came from a family that was dedicated to the countryside a humble family created this whole career and He creates a legend from his own name, he escapes from prison twice in Mexico when he is finally captured, this last time he is extradited to the United States and we have experienced a trial of 12 weeks, 44 days, 6 days of deliberation, 56 witnesses, 200 hours of testimonies. who saw that they were creating a much clearer portrait of the type of criminal that Joaquín Guzmán from La Tuna Badiraguato to Brooklyn in New York has been.

This is how Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán's criminal career ends where he will almost certainly spend the rest of his days. in a high security prison in the state of Colorado, but what has also been incredible is the prosecutor's comment, really, warning him that this does not end here, not only talking to him about Mayo Zambada, but also to many drug traffickers who think they can through buying and bribing and giving money to everyone and threatening, they can survive and not be victims of American justice, of course because in addition how many cartels have emerged but let's go with some images that 'the press does not forgive the apology in case you have witnessed this process but how devastating obviously that we fight very intensely these United States and whoever the accused is we still have to fight without any limitation so that what the government thinks any person we assume that obligation very seriously and we do not leave any diligence undone we saw it the Everything for everything has been an honor, it has been a pleasure to represent me because if you cannot represent Joaquín Guzmán like Wade, the defense cannot represent anyone.

Working with these lawyers, we enter into battle in the most difficult circumstances, somehow we manage. prepare a defense and these are friends that I will treasure for life I appreciate all the coverage I imagine it is a very important day in US history but the fight is not over we will continue fighting for Joaquín Guzmán until the end the surprising is often the other way around we control the client who has been found guilty and who has previously been sentenced to life imprisonment, this is a positive man, he has always been positive with us, he has always tried to maintain the already good years and we see him differently than society sees him differently.

From how the government sees him, we see him from how he behaves with us. He has always been a gentleman. He has always supported us. He has always been positive and grateful for our efforts and that is the image we have of Mr. Assmann. He is a very intelligent man. He knows what What is ahead of you knows what the circumstances are, this is a case that literally had an avalanche of evidence so much that we could barely weigh it all in another language. It was something incredible to prepare for this condition. Obviously we were exploring more time not because we wanted to be detailed but because We want to be well prepared, but having said that, I have never had a case with so many witnesses who have cooperated with so much evidence.

We did the best we could and did everything within our power, and it wasn't good enough. That's what happens when you're a lawyer. The defense does not have to prepare, it cannot always be won, what the press will face cannot lose a case and has to continue with its head held high and that is what we have done. Of course we are going to present a relationship. There are many issues that were created here. We think that the cross-examination of witnesses was extremely limited. The extradition process has questionable elements. It is too early to talk about all this.

This is not something that is easy from an emotional point of view. We are going to think about the appeal tomorrow, but I assure you that it will be he is going to fight as has been done in this case and well we are going to fight until the end this is how we work question off microphone these are accusations that the life sentence life sentence there are no more guidelines böttcher considers that the process was fair they treated him in a way fair he had a very vigorous defense I think the trial was fair otherwise we would not have objected no defense lawyer ever thinks that a trial is entirely fair there is ground for appeal and we would not say it if we think that going back if a fair trial there are many circumstances many elements the actions of the government but look you can't always win and I tell you the evidence was overwhelming a very difficult case but we didn't go to fight convinced that we were going to lose we fought at every step with every witness with every question every thing was a battle and that's how things are done in the United States when you are a defense lawyer some of you don't defend El Chapo you don't want that publicity you don't want the government to see it this way look at this we act against what common sense would say we are proud of the work we did of our work and we hold our heads high and we feel honored to have represented Joaquín Guzmán and to be part of a historic trial and obviously we do not agree with the verdict but as Lakeman said we fought for Joaquín he was very aware of what was going to happen today and we move forward we will continue with the defense as far as we can giving encouragement to us he is a very strong man he is very tough and he understands what happened and what he faces and that let's move forward with him defending him we are going to see all the options he has what is his state of mind at the moment but he was prepared for what happened today he is a strong man he wants everyone to know that he is going to continue fighting with the appeal and any other litigation that is necessary is a reinforces the argument of the past two years the positive ones by certain establishments that have a lawyer who never gave up the beauty of the legal system deserves the best efforts of the lawyers we will continue to do not only for sports but I will continue working the same as always as we do everything, that is what this country is about, something else to take into account when the wine was already considered guilty by the media, the government and everything is very difficult to defend the case so not only were we going against the evidence but with the perception of what it is and we wanted to present this before the court and before the jury you heard our defense arguments about what we think about what happened with the mayo and a half well they are trying to solve their problem this is something that takes to generations there but we are not here to talk about the theories of detention as Eduardo said, he is absolutely right, we are facing the government with a chair and we have the media knocking down the most doors, we understand that you have to do your job but the members of the jury read what you publish joaquín guzmán was declared guilty before we knew who he was he was tried in the media in the press and that is something extremely difficult he arrived here with a presumption of guilt not innocence he arrived with a presumption of guilt I don't blame you you have to do your job but it is very difficult to have a fair trial in the US when the press is so overwhelmingly negative I understand that there was a lot at stake and there was a lot in terms of the myth of any human but at the end of the day everything He contributed to that mythical image of the charro el chapo, not necessarily in his article, but that will be elucidated at another time.

We feel satisfied with the fight we waged. I feel proud. I am proud to work with this team and I go with them wherever they go. that I have to live and I want to be my recognition to these ladies images and samantha without your help established a lot he said they helped us I assure you that my double summary are interesting in the work of state they never did an exceptional job and allowed me to see the humor in all this process thank you doing with this well there is the fascinating press conference of the defense team of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán José and I am with my mouth open I am impressed to hear a person a lawyer express himself in such a way that a legend of drug trafficking has expressed that He is proud and honored to have worked with him that I would walk to hell to go back with him I am shocked and more happy he says said the main lawyer of the defense of Chapo Guzmán we see Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán with other eyes with other perspectives we know to a gentleman, an optimist, an extremely intelligent and passionate person, that is not the chapo that one does not listen to, but it is good to wait for them, yes, for the group of lawyers, that is the man they have met and mentioned that he consoled them when the incident happened.

The verdict is something really impressive because it also speaks volumes about the charming personality, so to speak, that Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán must have, not something that in Mexico we call him glib. After reading the verdict, the magistrate presiding over the Kogan trial has said that In his thirteen years of office he had never had a jury that had paid so much attention to the deliberations and the sworn process that did its job today. We also have at moments of the colonel's departure from the federal building where the trial against the chapo guzmán I don't know if we have the images for you to see and the mentality was obviously immediately addressed by the press we see it there because our expression is simply banal and with a lot of security surrounding the simply there are all the cameras after Obama good of course the security blocked several of the shots that the cameras had but there you have it and it says something but they are satisfied with it not a word not a word that is Macrón's output after having heard a jury decision of the ten guilty charges or here in the chapín whitman today has realized that he will spend the rest of his life in an American prison joaquín el chapo guzmán emma colonel's 61-year-old husband will spend the rest of his days in prison father of many children, not some of them even We who are the general public have to confirm whether they are children or not but there is talk of around 13 and she is the mother of two little girls who will not have a father in jail but whose lawyers said here no for their defense they are going to continue fighting Because Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, well, it is possible that it is unlikely that if he goes to the supermarket in this prison in Colorado where terrorists are attached, that Makro's daughters or herself, he will be able to see Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, it will be perhaps once or twice a year. let's go with rogelio morata and rebecca smith in new york go ahead that's right jose well we're here we just listened to everyone there were more than 50 people from the prosecutor's office the fbi the dea that came out that came out to give this press conference this just shows the muscle with which the US government fought against whom they name a criminal of this magnitude or a danger to the American public, we have heard the government's version of El Chapo and the version of the lawyers portraying Joaquín Guzmán Loera for one what You said a man who murdered drug trafficking that endangered the lives of many Americans and on the other hand what they described as much happiness as Jose, this vision that the defense team of Joaquín Guzmán Loera has that must be said at the time they spoke in In reality, it was not that they denied what he did, but simply the treatment he received in this trial.

They highlighted some of his virtues, but in reality it is not that they have

contra

dicted the charges for which he is accused, and this has been a common denominator, rather they What they have tried throughout this trial is to sow doubt, Rebecca. In all of this, there is one thing that I wanted to tell you for a while: the security, the impressive surroundings, not when I was coming down from the 6th floor, that is, first I came down from the 8th, where the court is then. I went down to 6 where the press room is to pick up my things and I found some Marsans judges some powerfully armed federal agents Rebeca dressed in uniform as if they were in war with impressive machine guns with these infrared lights in their helmets it really looked like They were going to protect this place with everything, no, and then we saw them coming out here where there were already many police officers dressed in blue.

It was also a newsmarket, but dressed in blue, even so, the presence of those men was impressive. Well, with three or four men who are The number of agents that we saw outside this court is of course imposing and of course they are heavily armed with automatic weapons such asYou say literally prepared to go to war because they are in camouflage uniforms, even then of course they have an impact and they were outside when the prosecution leaves. Curiously, we have not seen it throughout this trial, Rogelio, we have not seen her enter or leave here. because they are also at risk because they are preparing this case and they are making their good arguments to be able to reach this final verdict which is to hold Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán responsible so we never saw each other walking down that sidewalk they entered from another side contrary to when They were the hearings prior to the trial but with the trial we never saw them enter here and that is why now, well, all these agents came out to protect, of course, the directors of the DEA, the directors of the FBI and of course the prosecutors that all For days they were in the room doing these cross-examinations with the witnesses who testified against Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán and contrary, of course, to the dynamics of the defense lawyers who came out here every day who suddenly stopped to give a small statement in the media and of course also contrary to the dynamics of Emma Colonel who every time she entered or left here it was a spectacle not to see all the journalists running around her.

Last week she decided to add two bodyguards to protect her precisely from the harassment of the media because there was an incident in which he was almost hit with a camera in which he had to get into his car, in a very hasty manner, also the lawyer Eduardo Balarezo because a camera was about to hit him Let's say very strong measures were taken to protect themselves, but the strongest measures have been taken precisely today, Rebeca, to protect not only that nothing extraordinary happens in this court because there were people. In fact, there are still some heavily armed agents there, but also for when El Chapo comes out. guzmán it is not known nor will it be known when they will return him to the prison in Manhattan we do not know about this security device that is there when they bring him when they take him but today the time we do not know what time they will return him to that place and it is less than two miles and I would like to be able to explain to you how close it is literally as soon as you have to cross the Brooklyn Bridge which by the way they close, no access or entry or exit is allowed and they close all of this of course they follow them with helicopters or we don't know what time they are going to take him back to jail to the metropolitan prison which is in what is known as lower manhattan which is the southern part of manhattan and that is where he is on the tenth floor and well It will continue there until the sentence is read, which, as you had already told us, is in June exactly, it is June 25 at 10, who would have imagined that on this snowy day a decision would be given that we have been waiting for since last week It is the sixth day of deliberations.

The jury began last Monday to make this analysis of everything they heard and everything they saw in this trial, which without a doubt has been very difficult for them too, Rebekah, but I think that professionalism will have to be highlighted with the one that they have made because far from making a quick and hasty decision because they were constantly asking for things in which they had some doubts and in the end they look at ten charges and they find Chapo Guzmán guilty in all of them, not of course and the most impressive It's like you say, they took the time and sometimes many times we journalists ask ourselves, well, why are they asking these questions and why do they want these witnesses or all these testimonies, but well, they were doing their homework and where they had doubts, they asked for that testimony. and well there we have it, joseph ten of the charges was found guilty well thank you very much to both of you rebeca after three months of closely following this case well well now we have the deliberation that so much waiting for jose ten charges faces life imprisonment without place undoubtedly Julio Baquero who has also been aware of this case from the beginning as it is one of the things good afternoon Julio and interesting the prosecutor's office was talking about the corruption that it generates that the cartels do not say but something interesting he said the prosecutor's office said here Our mission is not over then there are the 14 billion dollars of El Chapo Guzmán because when they arrested him he had a watch and cough if anything else and some few properties that were found on him is one of the big questions Jose finally today comes the day there is a verdict We know what the future of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán may be, without a doubt a triumph for the US government because at least in appearance this is a blow to organized crime.

It is important that El Chapo was tried under US law to demonstrate that justice will be done when he is found guilty. They violate the laws but what follows is how this affects Mexican organized crime, we saw among the witnesses Vicente Zambada and Rey Zambada, two members of the Sinaloa Cartel, relatives of Mayo Zambada, who is the other great character of this organization and is also part of the defense strategy to sow doubt to say mayo is the true leader and he remains salaried it is not known where the sons of chapo guzmán are there is still talk of a conflict between these two groups in the zambada and the sons of chapó to have control of this organization that will have to be seen if it becomes violent or not after this verdict and there are new criminal organizations that are emerging such as the Jalisco New Generation cartel, one of the most bloodthirsty and most dangerous groups that the Mexican authority is now facing.

Come on, El Chapo is going to jail but the drugs continue to arrive, the weapons continue to travel south, the money, no one still knows where it is, and in reality, organized crime continues to operate on a regular basis, and it remains to be seen if he will sit down. precedent they will be more cautious when they are in Mexico if the Mexican authorities will continue to cooperate with the United States so that something like this happens again because something that you and I mentioned is that we have never seen something like the statements and the trial that we saw here In Mexico, it is not that we listen and that justice is done in this way, as we saw during the trial of El Chapo Guzmán, everything was so open and yet, as Chapo Guzmán's main defense lawyer said, in his career he had never seen a case with so many evidence with so many testimonies spoke of an avalanche of testimonies and evidence you can imagine that the result would have been different the US government made sure and it had no choice but to ensure that this did not go wrong rebeca and rogelio spoke of the way in which They transfer Chapo from the prison in Manhattan to the court in Brooklyn, a security operation as if he were a head of state, there were ten patrols ahead of him, helicopters behind him, the closure of the bridge, let's say Chapo had to reach this verdict so that This message was sent in a concrete and appropriate way 56 witnesses 14 cooperators, that is, they knew Chapo Guzmán, these 14 witnesses worked with him and now they collaborate with the American justice system, a perfect mechanism so that there was not even the slightest room for an error because the message It is important that we go after those who are committing crimes and as the prosecutor's office said, when he came out to give this press conference he said that the war on drugs is worth it for the 100 thousand lives that have been lost in that war in Mexico and for the Hundreds and thousands of families living in the United States lose a family member every day due to addiction.

This is definitely an important day for the DEA, for the US government and also for the Mexican government, because he escaped twice, making the Mexican authorities look ridiculous. On two occasions they extradited him almost by force, but hey, at least there it is clear that there is a way to collaborate between both governments and reach a result that harms these criminal groups that do so much damage. I was very interested in that statement. The prosecution does not say here we are not finished if it does not end no and speaking of corruption in a certain sense the prosecution tried to mitigate if the information that was given about the level of corruption that these organizations have been able to carry out in Mexico and even within of the United States and yet the corruption that exists is evident.

If something became clear during these three months of trial, it is how involved the Mexican authorities are with organized crime, something that is extremely painful and that may surprise many Mexicans so much because they always This has been talked about and it has always been understood for these levels of drugs to reach the United States someone has to be helping them so that El Chapo can escape from prison twice someone has to be helping but here it was said in a judge's courtroom let's go the person in Mexico has not faced the need to take a bite if in something for something independent of the world of drugs says if it happens to me with something like for example being stopped by a police officer for running a red light that could be happening on other levels unfortunately and it should also be, I don't know if it will be a lesson for each of us as Mexicans because it has sometimes been said that it is part of the culture, I believe that something like this should not be part of culture, I believe that we must also examine each one of us, not of conscience, because in some way, if we do not cooperate with things not being honest, it could end with a war of so many years, not as it has been, but it is that sometimes Throughout this trial I have asked myself a couple of times, Chapo Guzmán was treated on many occasions in the media in general in society in Mexico with the narcocorridos in some sectors of Sinaloa as a legend, an element with a hundred true folklore, very very colorful because of course his story is exciting, it is incredible what he has achieved the way he escaped his adventures but in reality we are talking about a bloodthirsty man whose war to control the routes for drug trafficking already cost nearly 250 thousand more lives Beyond all that color around him, his relationship with Emma Colonel, his relationship with his community, the chapel he built for them, his spooky escapes, there is the cost in lives of the war he waged with his criminal group fighting against the Juárez cartel against the Beltrán Leyva cartel is not a minor thing but if there is evidence of testimonies and blood, a lot of blood that Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán has shed.

Interesting how life and fiction sometimes mix, he spoke more about how he can create legends than how he is that when the last attempt to find Chapo Guzmán who was able to escape, they had the queen of the south there in their hideout, not reading from the queen of the south, then how later Kate del Castillo meets with Chapo Guzmán to try to make a movie or A documentary is like a vicious circle between fiction. Yes, in reality, it is greased and lubricated with the blood of so many people. Yes, in addition, this story of Chapo Guzmán has all the elements to turn it into an extremely successful Hollywood film.

Sex, drugs. war blood crime corruption a man who also rose to fame with the murder of Cardinal Posadas in Guadalajara and who from then on became a legend well now it comes to an end with this verdict it comes to an end and well mentioned del Castillo I do not believe that Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán is a person who made his life change without a doubt one of many the question now is how this is going to affect changing or not the reality of drug trafficking and the cartels in Mexico we are leaving to precisely the Mexican capital to fred to several experts on drug trafficking issues are with us or friends fred good afternoon your reaction to this very important news today and pp well we were already expecting it since last week that was surprising that did not occur last Thursday and this generated an expectation for the defense and for Guzmán Loera's relatives, however, well, there is the evidence.

I made a comment on the social network last night and this morning that with this question that was raised that there was not unanimity in the jury, it was going to be unblocked and this matter was coming. I have been listening to them and I agree with what Baqueiro and others say about the colleague who is next to you in the sense that this matter does not end in drugs, it will continue to circulate in the United States and in the world, the triads and our thing have been around for a very, very long time and organized crime works and I share the question they asked there or the comment where Guzmán Loaera's large amounts of money are, they have not stuck where it hurts the most the show is going to continue this matter I would tell you that it is just beginning that Mexican justice was very bad I would have liked it and I have told you it has other spaces and having seen Guzmán Loera be tried in Mexico it has nine open cases is a failure it is a disappointment obviously there is widespread corruption in our justice system and it cannot be left in this situation pp the function is going to continue there will be more things and look what a coincidence this week on Friday president lópez Obrador will be in Badiraguato on a tour if there are things like that that happen and that diop explained do you believe and something that I was asking happiness do you believe that this trial could have been carried out in Mexico under the conditions of our justice pp no ​​because if there is corruption it is evident and In that sense, President López Obrador is right, we need a profound reform of the judiciary, although we have made progress in some things, such as the issue of the presumption of innocence, Guzmánloaera, we cannot even tell him in detail.mexico el chapo because it would be discriminating but well we are watching this show I came in a taxi to the studio I received several calls six calls about this topic this has had a high level of rate throughout the world all of Mexico is watching this says the end From the trial I would tell you that much more things are coming, things are coming, I hope that they will severely hit the hundreds of criminals who are on our streets and who are enjoying the presumption of innocence, the money pp continues to work, the drugs will continue to work and I'm not telling you this for the Mexican case, I'm telling you this for any phenomenon that has occurred in Colombia, for example with the coup against the big cartels with the large amounts of money that the Colombian plan brought in, because coca continues to produce if it continues to circulate, I believe which is another matter of network intelligence where the hell is Guzmán's money like this next greeting with pleasure Julio Baqueiro just that which has been criticized in many moments starting with President Felipe Calderón this strategy to combat organized crime through the big fields go for the heads make a lot of noise and gain a lot of media space as is being done now with this El Chapo Guzmán trial but the strategy that has been carried out until now to combat organized crime works.

The strategy will only work if you You hit where it hurts the most, which must be in the money in the pockets. The system continues to work. There is an enormous amount of money that is laundered in Mexico and well, we have prosecutors and we have the Treasury Department who have told us things but they have not hit them. I say where the hell is the money and it seems that the North American justice system was going for those 14,000 million 15 billion dollars where the hell are they who is going to pay the defense an excellent defense I would tell you and those who lose here well well lose lose lose Mexico Because sending it from the justice of our judges, from our public prosecutor's agents, from the other police officers, they lose because we have remained like a bunch of corrupt people.

By the way, I see right now in the morning that the person who arrested Guzmán who was in Washington has been fired, we don't know, I insist. They are coincidences Guzmán Loera was extradited one day before Trump took office on Obama's last day and curiously the lawyer was also sentenced to life imprisonment one day before leaving the government Enrique Peña Nieto - there are many things we are going to wait for the defense to to appeal but let's hope you can see things and see reactions in mexico in mexico no one very few people are in jail for this matter very few fran álvarez expert stay with us please my brilliant friend specialist in this we are going to a pause war we are going to continue but briefly answer Freddy's question from all of us one of the prosecutors in the case says if you are found guilty we will seek to find at least 14 billion dollars American money that has not been found so far think about That's back, Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán today in a federal court in Brooklyn has been found guilty of the ten charges against him in this trial that has lasted almost three months with hours and hours of testimony, as the prosecution and the defense of Chapo Guzmán said with mountains of evidence and witnesses requested, this is what marks history on February 12, 2019, where one of the most famous and most powerful drug traffickers the planet has ever had is finally sentenced, he has been sentenced, he has been found guilty of 10 charges.

We are going to wait until it is June for his sentence to be formally handed down but it has been a very interesting day to hear in a press conference both the prosecution and the defense of Chapo Guzmán talk about both success and as American law but also some very interesting statements from Chapo's lawyers, Mr. Lichtman, the way he expressed himself, he never said that they would think that it would be presumed that Joaquín Guzmán is innocent of any of the charges against him, but he did express himself in a way that was very effusive about Chapo Guzmán saying that he is an extremely intelligent man who is a gentleman and that he dedicated himself to comforting them, it will be barely an hour less when when he was declared guilty, Rogelio Morata was actually there, inside the building on the outskirts rebecas mes, who has been covering this process from the first moment, go ahead, rogelio, you got inside, what was it, can you repeat to us what was what you saw, as i know that many times neither emma colonel nor even joaquín el chapo guzmán and many of them gesticulate, nor are they very reagents have this very serious look and this only makes them appear to be very attentive as they dress them, which was very curious because suddenly when I found out that my colonel had already gone up to the eighth floor I was in the press room on the 6th floor everyone was there for some reason I got curious to go up to see this because I was still so close to the entrance of the courtroom I was on the 8th floor but not inside the court I was there and then I was chatting with some from my colleagues and I told them, you know, Emma Colonel, yes, sorry, you want me to throw out the macaroni video.

Let's see what Emma Colonel's departure was like this morning, once the verdict was known. She was wearing a green blazer and, well, of course. They tried to approach her but it was not possible, Rebeca was practically a titanic task because she came not only with her bodyguards but they had also established a security fence so that Joaquín Guzmán's wife could leave without being harassed without being disturbed as happened last week. In fact, they were about to throw it and that was both the frenzy for Emma Colonel to know what the reactions were and also because we were already on the eve of a verdict that she decided to put a security fence around her and even the department of National security, they have people here, they have agents here, they themselves also decided to start protecting the defense agents of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán, the lawyers and also Emma Colonel, since well, in the two media outlets, well, they were surrounding them, no, no.

They couldn't even let them walk because it's going back to the story of how it happened because it was 12 noon just before 12 noon I remember one of my companions told me we went down to eat and we chose to wait 20 more minutes and in That at twelve o'clock someone saw the judge's assistant come out through a door through the back door of the judge's seat and read her lips and she said there is a verdict and then a revolution began and shortly after the marshals the agents The federal authorities confirmed that there was a verdict, the press office in the court confirmed that there was a verdict and that was abuzz, Rebeca, I tell you that I think that was perhaps the most exciting moment of the day because once Chapo arrived like you did You said, he spoke seriously, he only smiled at Emma, ​​Colonel, he waved at her, but there was nothing more.

Every time they read a charge and they declared him guilty, El Chapo showed the same face that he was showing during these 44 days that lasted. his trial and returning a little to Joaquín's emotions and I believe that you were a witness, sorry if anything, of the most important reaction that occurred during the trial, which was the day he saw his daughters before leaving for Christmas, not that day. It was a shocking day for all of us, particularly I think they handled it very well, it is very curious because these and Mel came and you are 7 years old came to visit him and it was a very emotional moment.

I saw Joaquín Guzmán Loera's tears and this other part of a human being that everyone knows as a bloodthirsty man who, thanks to him, many people have lost their lives, many people are also addicted to narcotics, but that day we were able to see a Joaquín Guzmán Loera with extremely emotional tears and the little ones were climbing on him naima colonel to be able to greet her father because there were many journalists and even some journalists, some of our colleagues stood aside so that the little ones could see their father because they are not allowed to have physical contact, the children have always been going to visit to her father to the metropolitan prison in the south of Manhattan, well, she alone cannot see through a flex and the ones that are glass cannot be touched at all and this is the first time since Joaquín was extradited that they were able to see it without anything being involved, so being able to say it live, Reid, well, imagine, Jose, that was the reaction that my fellow journalists experienced here at the trial in December, including Rebecca Smith, who was covering practically the entire Joaquín Guzmán trial. loera doubled by the presence of his daughters and today after they found him guilty on ten counts and that he will practically be sentenced to prison for life unless something really extravagant happens, the truth is that his face had no greater expression that is something that It catches our attention a lot, maybe El Chapo already knew that his destiny was going to be that, El Chapo says, he actually wanted to come to this trial, Rebeca, because no Mexican drug trafficker has ever concluded a trial the way El Chapo did. presented to the end in a trial that almost took an ovation, everyone pleaded guilty, only Chapo wanted to show his innocence in this trial that for me was his last window, it is a real world, the last contact with both Emma Colonel and reality and also listening to diary his story remembering his myth remembering his past perhaps that explains why Joaquín Guzmán Loera, unlike all the other Mexican drug traffickers who have been arrested, did not plead guilty and wanted to finish his trial, which is a fascinating Rogelio remarkable perspective and that leads me to ask Rebecca Smith, who was one of those who was interviewed exclusively for Telemundo News, also Colonel and you asked her, it is precisely about whether Chapo liked all of this, Rebecca Smith in this advertisement, etc.

Indeed, Jose, when we got to interview the Colonel, one of the questions he asked What we did was if Joaquín Guzmán or he liked it, he liked having some kind of fame, if he liked publicity, if he liked the media, and she told us that literally, Emma Colonel answered us, well, why lie to you because she knows and knows that he likes it? fame and that he likes the media and he himself does not do it. We have not been able to see it here but also the defense has not said it on other occasions that since he wanted to make his book on several occasions he met with film directors as well. and he even wanted to be able to produce his own movie, he was looking for how to make money with his own story with his own movie, so there you have it, maybe you can forgive yourselves, Roger, as you are mentioning it, well, maybe he really wanted to hear from the living voice of his closest people, as he was and as he was, of course, the prosecutor's office, Rogelio, yes and Julio, so many questions, so many comments, the truth that has come out of these statements from so many witnesses for so many weeks, how interesting what they mentioned now, of the 56 and witnesses, 14 were acquaintances of El Chapo Guzmán collaborated with the US justice system to see if they can reduce his sentence.

They had to betray Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán, but perhaps El Chapo does not see it as that betrayal, seeing it from the perspective from which Rogelio sees it and sees it. Well, we are raising the image of this criminal that you had last week there at the trial and I saw him very different from Jose than how they are describing now as I saw him who heard the sentence with an almost lost look without any further expression. That day I was very happy and it was Thursday of last week and I had already won four days.

Many of us thought that this verdict would have had to come in a matter of two hours because whoever it was, they would find him guilty quickly and yet it took a while now. six days but on Thursday it will be four and the defense in some way saw that this was a kind of triumph. Chapo Guzmán greeted them very effusively and hugged his three lawyers. In addition, the colonel also very effusively was very smiling and very very expressive, this man who begins his story and rose to fame in 1993 with the murder of Cardinal Posadas in the city of Guadalajara.

El Chapo had first been working for Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the man who began the Mexican drug cartel as we know it today with the Guadalajara Cartel in the In the 80s, El Chapo was just his gunman, his driver, his assistant, his right-hand man, and until 1993 he achieved this fame that he now has. He was quickly caught that same year in Guatemala and from there everything became an avalanche. The life of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán It has been marked by persecutions of tensions and escapes. We must go back to June 10, 1993 when the Mexican authorities announced for the first time his capture in Guatemala.

He was tried and sentenced to 20 years in prison. The first surprise came on January 18, 2001 when He escaped from the Puente Grande prison in a laundry cart with the help of some officials. After more than a decade on the run, he was arrested in the port of Mazatlán, Mexico in a navy operation and later transferred to a maximum security prison in the highlands in the state of mexico in the federal social rehabilitation center number 1 altiplano the escape of joaquín guzmán loera was recorded but in July 2015 as if it were a movie he escaped through a tunnel a kilometer and a half long dug to his cell two months laterMexican authorities were about to capture him in the northeast of the country shortly after his meeting with actress Kate del Castillo on January 8, 2016.

Mexico announced the recapture of the shampoo on January 19, 2017. He was extradited to the United States and the next day he was presented in the federal court of Brooklyn, New York on November 12, 2018, two years after his extradition, the trial began against what is said to be one of the most famous criminals of the 21st century. This is the story of this drug trafficker whose legend has ended and with this verdict and that during the trial we already said it, he smiled three times when he saw his daughters when he saw emma and when he saw the actor who represents him in the narco series Alejandro Eta who also visited visited the court in a day of the trial but we actually had

telemundo

news three times that he smiles one of those is a person who helps generate and keep alive his legend he does not enjoy the media el chapo guzmán undoubtedly seems that, as they say, he fell into the sin of vanity yes but very interesting, speaking of numbers, his trial does not begin on November 12 and end on February 12 at 12 noon, that is interesting, we had not thought about it, but let's also say it is curious because now that you are talking about numerology within the Sinaloa cartel Alexi Fuente is one of the witnesses who was testifying, it is known that although this was not presented to the jury, but in the court documents it is documented that he was an extremely superficial, superstitious man, I mean a believer in the numerology of many of these tendencies. astral and come on I had ideas of that type so I write about everything there are numbers that have been an important part of this information from the prosecution the telephone numbers that Chapo Guzmán had if they thought they couldn't tap the wires were listening to the US government rebecca that month is with one of the main defense lawyers of the chaco week in front of rebeca hello how are you jose indeed we are here in the middle of a snow storm we were able to get the lawyers two of the main lawyers of joaquín guzmán loera to be here with us he is with us eduardo balarezo and the defender william purple thank you very much for being with us after this decision by the jury, which is the first thing that came to mind, art well, I tell you the truth and Joaquín, we thought that was what was going to happen because he was already condemned before the trial began but anyway we tried to do as much as possible we fought as hard as possible and another result is always expected but in Joaquín he told me this morning that his feet are firmly planted in the floor and he waits bullet he is calm he knew what he was facing but he really knows what it means to spend the rest of his life in prison he was very aware of that now william because he and I right now translate for you ah yes of course william over there two talked about on many occasions about chupeta that this guy is the leader of the northern valley cartel that he was one of the main partners at the time of joaquín guzmán loera for whom he had more than 16 surgeries the one who started to describe how he had sent more than 10 boats to Mexico, seven of them were successful, three of them were confiscated, then this subject changed his entire identity to be able to try to evade the authorities and remain free for you, which would be the jury that he testimony that has hurt them the most that hurts the defense the most but they were all equally harmful each one had a story to tell for me he is a witness that I interrogated who was the vicente zambada of mayo vicente's son because that is the narco juniors is this was born He lived in that system and had a lot of information that obviously did not harm us also now after these three months of trial have passed eduardo do you think it was a fair trial it was a fair trial in the sense that Joaquín received a trial but as you I said before he was already convicted before the trial began because of the media because of the prosecution because of his story so we had to fight not only against the evidence that we have in court but against the evidence and the story that exists outside because because of the media It's not the first time you've said it and it's not the first lawyer to say it.

You think that the media put a Joaquín Guzmán who was not clear why the media repeat stories repeat myths they repeat stories that are sometimes heard without foundation and I think that In the trial we heard things that you never report that he was a multimillionaire and things like that, there was no proof of that. Honestly, the man was living in the mountains for 15 years in a wooden bed, so where is that wealth, where are they good? Fortunately, that is something we have to look into in a moment more, but let me ask, let me ask you, how did you see your client today at the time that he was named responsible for these ten charges?

Of the ten charges against him, he was named guilty. As you saw, as I told you, or to the person who was prepared for everything, I don't think he was nervous, but rather he was ready for the whole process to end, and that's what he told us this morning. There are also other efes who are going to fight, of course, and they have con Tell us what the appeal process is like in this process. To all of us who are not lawyers, what is this appeal process? You have to wait for there to be a reading of the sentence that follows.

You have to be sentenced first and then we appeal. There is no agenda. Let's say, can you? appeal later by law and then the court of appeal in the second here new york will have to decide there are three judges who determine to make a decision and all in writing he will not be present at all ok now that this whole process has passed Again, let me ask you this question. Once you decided that El Chapo was not going to testify, do you think it was the right decision? I think so. Yes. No. I don't think it would change the verdict if the defendant was not going to testify.

No, he was sure not to testify from a principle an accused has three rights if he pleads guilty or not he will go to trial no and whether he declares or not that was a decision that was made with our advice now you can tell us if the government at some point wanted him to become a cooperating witness or he is the top of drug trafficking and only the government wanted to go after El Chapo El Chapo's trial a show for the government was a show it was a demonstration of the power of the government demonstrating what happens to people who supposedly do what Joaquín did I believe that the government had no interest in him becoming a protected witness and he was not going to be one either because that is how it is now and since it smells better and Emma wanted to wish light but suitcases and it is not enough face wanted to wish to see how I am asking him To the lawyer William Purple, how do I notice Emma, ​​although they are defending Joaquín Guzmán Loera, well, he has been present almost every day.

I am interested, William Purple is telling us that he actually noticed some tears on Emma Colonel's face. I had never seen Emma Colonel. seen, I had seen tears on Joaquín Guzmán's cheeks when he saw his little ones. I think it was a very emotional moment for him and I think that, as Mr. Purple is saying, they are realizing and realizing that indeed perhaps they are the last days that will be able to be seen in this way in this freedom jose it seems to me that you have a couple of questions that you would like to ask if one of them is precisely from mcconnell that the prosecution in the last moments of this trial mentioned that they They saw that Emma Colonel had helped Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán escape from the Altiplano prison.

Maybe the lawyers think there is some kind of judicial process against Emma Colonel for something that came to light in this trial. Well, I'm going to have to pass it on to them. the question because we are live and so I am the only one who can hear you José but Eduardo let me ask this question to you who believe and you consider that Emma Colonel is going to have repercussions for this testimony in which they say that she supported and passed the message to the planning the escape of Joaquín Guzmán Loera from the Altiplano for the second time, the white man wants Joaquín, if the prosecution goes against that, it is already something incredible to leave the woman alone and she has suffered enough and she has her two girls that she has to be a mother to They let her live her life in peace, there should be nothing against her and there is not enough other than the words of these informants on the part of the American government, the Mexican government, both of them, both of them, and now it is like this, they have sacrificed a lot, you live in Washington, they had to literally here how are you personally eduardo after three months of being locked in these very tired purple walls and I have been here for four months preparing and in the trial it has been to say yes not only for us with the family I also have two children and my wife and we are ready to return to our life teaching and techniques ok I am asking Mr.

Purple if this case against Joaquín Guzmán Loera has been one of the biggest cases that he has represented since Mr. Purple has been involved for many years. I have been in this industry, so to speak, for many years defending major criminals, also non-criminals, so I also think that happiness, our other driver wants to ask a question, happiness, I listen to you, thank you, Rebecca. Obviously, we know little about what a lawyer has to do, but many of us have a doubt because while the prosecution presented 56 witnesses, Chapo Guzmán found that his defenders presented a good witness.

There is another very interesting question that we have discussed with you in the courtroom during these long hearings and why and on what it is based. The decision in which you have only presented a witness, our opinion of William and I was that they did not present a defense because the witness who sees and who came did not help at all and in the stipulation that followed with the prosecution neither did It had nothing to do with it, I preferred to finish the case and let the successful person take it. That was a decision that the client made with the lawyer Lipman, so that's how it was and the client in this case, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, was happy with that with that witness.

What brought you to the end of everything? I think he didn't like the decision he had made. I'm going to ask the same question now to Mr. Purple Miramar and Row of Share Touring Defense Buttons. Well 6, in this case it was Mr. El Icman, the Lawyer Lima. in which he made this decision with the client so what the purple lawyer is telling me is that it was a decision in less than 30 minutes they ended up with a single witness that Mr. Geoffrey Lipman had agreed with Chapo Guzmán and well it was not a decision What they made because they have worked for many years together was not a decision that they made but rather it was Chief Lakeman with his client and in this case they brought in a person who did not necessarily harm them but did not negotiate with them either.

What are you left with from this from this from this from this trial with from this court as you saw your client in the end you saw him angry sad disappointed with courage he wants to continue fighting but water that he is a very strong person he has had a difficult life and has overcome almost Everything, as I told you, he has a lot of spirit and wants to continue fighting Joaquín Global and very clearly that is a man, a man and he was a man. He was not like the people who came with that, yes, yes, in the Oxford, well, there you have it, happiness, Jose, we have in these moments the first reactions from the defense we are live outside the court and of course telemundo everyone has the main reactions that from the defense for you jose of happiness many thanks to our correspondent revelations with the two lawyers describing chapo guzmán as A gentleman, for them, of course, the prosecution put the incident in which Chapo Guzmán personally tortured three people, then he put a bullet in them and ordered that they be buried alive, two faces of Chapo Guzmán, Javier Vega is in Washington, Javier wishes that there has been a reaction there.

What's your advice, fellow Miami colleagues, it's a pleasure to greet you from the capital of the country where the reactions from the federal government to this verdict are already beginning to be generated there in the federal court of New York and I would like to tell you about the first reaction that we received that has to do with with that of the Attorney General in charge Matthew Whitacre of the Department of Justice who said he was pleased with the announcement of this verdict and who said that as was evident to the jury present during these weeks Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán flooded with cocaine and not only cocaine but very dangerous drugs to the United States for more than 20 years and that this was evidenced in testimony after testimony during this trial.

The attorney general in charge also says that the message with this verdict is very clear for the Mexican bosses and for those who continue to operate under the protection of the illegality in Mexico and those who continue to traffic drugs to the United States who sooner or later will be arrested or sooner will be judged and here there are two very clear recipients of this message on the one hand nemesio oseguera alias el mencho the leader of the Jalisco new generation cartel who we know is the cartel which had more growth in recent years, particularly during the six-year term of Enrique Peña Nieto - even surpassing the Sinaloa cartel itself in power and territorial structure and which became one of the most wanted until now, still a fugitive and Ismael himself. el mayo' zambada who is still in charge of this sinaloa cartel and whose son, as you have mentioned, was one of the star witnesses of the prosecution in thiscalled trial of the century so this is the message that they send from the department of justice to those who continue hiding in Mexico and who continue trafficking every day through the ports of entry and through various modalities as explained by those who accused El Chapo in this US drug trial, reactions also from the Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Kristen Nielsen, who also described Chapo Guzmán as one of the most feared and most violent criminals of all time, also celebrating the verdict and saying that this is testimony to the joint work and of the efforts of law enforcement officers for many years and went further than the attorney general in charge saying that the message is not only for the Mexican fields but for all international criminals who are operating in various countries around the world so the government is taking advantage from the United States this situation and this news to issue this series of messages in various addresses also from the FBI reported immediate reactions from here from the capital of Washington its director says justice has been done after a significant effort and the FBI is also recognizing the role that the Mexican government has had in all this and in that same sense the DEA has spoken out, its administrator in charge says that it has promised to strengthen collaborative relations with the Mexican government, the DEA saying we will continue working hand in hand with the government of Mexico In this case, now with the Andrés Manuel López Obrador government to continue detaining our key objectives, although as we know in recent weeks, President López Obrador himself has said that his strategy has changed and that his strategy is not now that of detaining these great bosses of these big names in drug trafficking, but their strategy is now one of rebuilding the social fabric, so if we analyze the long list of agency departments in charge and not to mention law enforcement officers, operational agents who were involved for years in this case in jose and colleagues washington takes a moment to breathe to celebrate this verdict of one of the biggest criminals of all time jose javier dagá thank you very much from washington and now we are going to return to mexico with our expert on drug trafficking issues freddy Álvarez, I greet you from here, I am happiness, Abelleyra Freddy.

We have a question for you regarding precisely that since Mexico now has a new government, it is the turn of Andrés Manuel López Obrador to make a decision about our de Gea to continue attacking this problem that seems endless. In Mexico, regarding drug trafficking, what do you expect to be done and what would be an effective strategy? Well, happiness, Mexico is new Attorney General of the Republic. This has very little time. It has relative autonomy. Before, I was a prosecutor. I have said that for me, in Personally, I would have liked to see the trial against Guzmán Loera in Mexico.

It did not happen until now. I have not seen any reaction from the government. Yes, I mentioned it a while ago with Pepe Felicia and with you that the president of the republic Andrés Manuel, well, now this will be the end. of the week in Culiacán and coincidentally going to Badiraguato, this matter has nothing to do with Guzmán's case, but without a doubt it does send, well, here are some messages. I believe that the government should demonstrate and should say, well, we are going hard against these criminals, Mexico has many many cartels, I see that nothing has ended with Guzmán's nutrition in Mexico, it has not ended in production, distribution has not ended, money laundering has not ended, so I hope that this trial of the century will have an impact and we will have justice. firmer against organized crime but because of some statements that have been said in recent days, it seems that we are all forgiving, we do not have to firmly apply the law and well, happiness, this is the first reaction.

I have not seen the reactions of the Mexican government yet. nor of any of them, much less of the judicial power, I was talking about nine trials opened against Guzmán Loera, by the way, an extradition process that was also irregular because Guzmán was never authorized to go to the Brooklyn court, he was authorized to go to other courts and Well, it's an irregularity in due process, but well, that's it, the story is tradition, I'm Julia Baqueiro, I praise many people at the time that it was a gift, a kind of gift for the new government of President Donato because they were also treated right in the day before if I remember correctly or on the same day or a day after but due to the dates of his inauguration in a kind of gift to improve relations between both countries that have not been very good recently you see it as having given results this gift to this relationship between Mexico and the United States including the cost of dear is going to fall I agree with you if it was a gift it was a day before it was on January 19 President Trump took office on the morning of January 20 and from then on well This whole spectacle took place and it was because the government of President Peña, I insist, was an irregular issue.

If you remember these details, they took him first to a prison in Ciudad Juárez and suddenly, well, we already saw it in New York in a court different from the ones. that he had requested extradition there we have a problem if some analysts commented on it but it was left up in the air we left it only for a matter of history where due process must be carried out for these things if due process is not carried out at least in Mexico The trial could be Esteban or it could be lost if the matter is already closed, let's see what happens, what happens in Mexico with the other alleged criminals, always, my dear Baqueiro, we must talk about the presumption of innocence, what the lawyer said.

Guzmán was convicted, it was never said that he was presumed guilty, he was always told that he was a great criminal, the great criminal of the whole world. I don't see it that way. I believe that there are more drug traffickers of greater weight, but hey, it is required. We saw this almost live, in truth, from this world it has had excellent coverage. I congratulate you. Let's wait for some other things, Baqueiro. What you have to see, my friend, is if this changes anything in the reality of drug trafficking in Mexico or around the world.

He offered. I was with you. In August 2010 when they found and showed when they arrested Barby, do you remember and the authorities, come on, we need how time goes by, the authorities were talking about these hard blows against drug trafficking, like things don't change much, Fred, there may be changes because Joaquín Chapo Guzmán is there. in prison in Colorado, barby is still in prison in Mexico, nothing is going to change, production, distribution and money laundering will continue to operate unless the new authorities get their act together and strike a sure blow and they are intelligence blows the intelligence must really work, the lawyer said that Guzmán almost almost lived poorly in the mountains of Sinaloa, Durango, that's not the case, but it really is a failure of the financial intelligence of Mexican and North American intelligence, where the hell are the 14,000 15 thousand or 10 thousand or 5 billion dollars must be somewhere because if not then this would also be just another spectacle pp that's it again happiness here with a question city for you as Mexicans I also grew up in Mexico You always heard it said that all governments had certain agreements with the different drug cartels and that for many years, for decades, a certain peace was maintained.

I believe that certain rules existed that were respected by both parties and that was over and broken. nothing is respected, the war against drug trafficking began with Felipe Calderón and now that Andrés Manuel López Obrador also enters with this kind of philosophy that there should be no punishment, that there will be this forgiveness, you believe that whatever is going to happen To try again is to have some silent agreements or what are we talking about? No, because obviously what we want for Mexico is for there to be peace to stop so much death.

What do you think? Peace is not happiness at any cost. We have to apply it. The law, this matter of peace, was handled first by a Catholic bishop in Guerrero who even approached some criminals and they talked a little about promoting peace. No, peace must come with the application of justice and the application of justice is persecution. to put criminals in jail with due process. I believe that we cannot apply anyone should take exception to the application of the law. Application of the law also has to do with the issues of the application of the security mechanisms of the army of the navy of the federal police that has worked and presumably whatever comes from the national guard I do not believe in agreements with criminals I believe that it has not worked anywhere in the world it did not work in Colombia it did not work in Italy where the big ones prosecutors and lawyers like falcón in the case of italy should simply apply the law and put criminals in jail that's how justice should work happily and I believe that the government, the president of lópez Obrador, cannot abdicate, I think he has to apply the law if there are criminals if someone even runs a traffic light they should apply the law to us this is what we want to work no more penalties sometimes what is required is simply to apply apply the law you know perhaps the question that many people now ask have is whether at this moment the person receiving the edict is truly the leader of the sinaloa cartel the defense we just had rebecca smith from new york - an exclusive interview with chapo guzmán's lawyers and he insisted throughout this trial or did he want to sow doubt that It wasn't El Chapo, it was rather El Mayo Zambada.

You have studied organized crime in Mexico for a long time. There is truth in that. There is no doubt that El Chapo was more of the image on the screen and behind it was a brain that would be El Chapo. zambada operating liz man the lawyer said it with you a while ago and I reiterate it many times to all the media I believe that beyond the Mr. mayo called mayo zambada there may be others there are others new criminals emerge I still don't know maybe we have been detected that's why I I said that this is going to continue working, we have to hit them because it seems really hard.

I see in interviews a while ago, New York as if it were as if organized crime had ended in Mexico with the tail, what they did with Guzmán is not like that. This is going to continue working, there are many small cartels that are sometimes much more dangerous than these big ones, this bosses or alleged criminals raised me cowboys and Fred, it was spoken in this trial and again addressing the issue that I mentioned, Rebeca gets into that exclusive interview. With Chapo's defense lawyers, in recent days we spoke about that prosecution witness who in 2014 told prosecutors that he had witnessed him when Enrique Peña Nieto was given 100 million dollars - a few days before assuming the presidency.

He handles that amount of cash and yes and if it is possible, do you think that it is possible that the theory that 100 million dollars was given to a person at that level of money and corruption we are talking about is very absurd about this man's statement. You must see it in its context because these people normally lie because they are criminals, it is to believe the criminals and in the case of Vella, they even accused me of General Naranjo in Colombia when General Naranjo copero with the tail the agency and the 16 North American agencies, I would say, well then, if that was the case, it was a failure of the US intelligence process.

The collaborating witnesses say a series of atrocities and it stays there. If they have evidence, then present the statements of criminals and we must see them in that context pp nothing more than fred to see is thank you always interesting your perspective and your great knowledge thank you very much for being with him to that aspect of happiness he will want a hug you guys see you very much and now we return to new york with rebecca smith and rogelio monetary forward well here we are ago you can still in some way enjoy this interview that eduardo balarezo william purple gave us the truth is that it has been well in some way a way of seeing the perspective of the other side of chapo not because well for a long time or rebeca Then there are these brutal testimonies against Joaquín, what was wrong was not what Fred Álvarez was saying, you should not believe in the statement that was made about Enrique Peña Nieto, although these criminals are also the ones who have given the statements to have El Chapo guilty today.

Not to me, what catches my attention about all this and in this I agree a lot with Fred Álvarez is that we are celebrating that Chapo Guzmán was found guilty on these ten charges and that he could almost certainly face life imprisonment, in reality he has stopped this great problem in the United States, which is bone addiction, that is the big question that remains for me. It is not right. It is without a doubt an exemplary punishment. It will send them a message, but on the other hand, the reality is that the problem still remains on a thousand heads. because organized crime regenerates easily and consumption here in this country because we must not also forget that this is a big problem, the demand that exists in this country contributes a lot to making all of this continue to work and it already does.

When they gave the press conference, the directors of the DEA and the FBI and also some prosecutors said that they are attacking the head of the snake saying that even El Chapo is responsible for the opioid crisis that we see today in this country but as Rogelio says well, we have seen it with othersgreat bosses who have learned well that the problem continues the continuous demand and as long as there is demand well it is said that there will be what I wanted but I was thinking in English but as long as there is demand well they will continue to satisfy that demand so I think it is interesting to see how it is that Now if they are going to try to counterattack all of these, they can start giving all of this when there is this demand that is so beloved in the United States.

How is it that they are going to try to continue attacking and although they say that the American and Mexican governments continue to work together, there is still a lot of drug trafficking in Mexico. We still see a lot of deaths in Mexico and we still see a lot of demand here in the United States and look guys there in the studio, there is another question that I ask myself. We have constantly talked about the issue of corruption as without a doubt an injection to this problem that is drug trafficking. It would explain the flourishing of the Sinaloa cartel without the participation of government officials, yes, members of the army, in short, without any important participation of the Mexican government and yet today we do not have any major figure detained, that is, El Chapo sums it all up and no one of no government, not even the PRI, which was where drug trafficking flourished with impunity, nor the bread that was when, for example, Guzmán Loera escaped for the first time from the Puente Grande prison in Jalisco and the government of Enrique Peña Nieto in which not only the recapture occurred the escape, the recapture, nor do we have anyone detained, that is, it is true, to a certain extent, it is striking that everything is concentrated on the chapo without distinguishing what he has done, not without detracting from all the charges against him, but there is also a reality of the On the other hand, we do not have anyone yet who is paying for these large and serious crimes, although the defense said so, we asked them a few minutes ago if El Chapo was the top man and he stays there or are they going to continue dealing with them, are they going to continue counteracting drug trafficking in Mexico and well, they tell us that he was standing here as a macho, as a man contrary to all the witnesses who were present here, that they did reach an agreement with the prosecution and thanks to the fact that El Chapo will now be declared guilty, many of them are even believed to be able to walk among the American people and they will walk free along with their families once they have committed so many crimes including one of them murdering a giant lollipop if he goes well he would be free more or less in about 15 years without having killed and he testified here in this court that had killed and had accepted having killed 150 people and in 15 years we could see him free so it is good I know what you think it seems to us that it is sometimes surreal to hear these things and see the damage the suffering the death that has been caused joaquín el chapo guzmán, his organization and so many organizations that are involved in drug trafficking, let's take a brief break, what does rebecca smith say with us, by the way, the telemundo factory of exclusives, we must congratulate her today with that exclusive with the defense of joaquín el chapo guzmán ago a few months with emma colonel we are going to take a brief break and continue with much more here at Noticias Telemundo we continue with this special programming on this February 12, 2019 when Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán was found guilty of the ten charges against him And that one that I and my colleagues all have.

In addition to the fact that some of you, like you, Julia, have been present there in the same federal court, you have experienced what it feels like to be in such an important trial, we also have our other general and personal perceptions of what it means. What is happening, Rogelio Moratal and Rebecca Smith were not talking about, okay, they just blamed Chapo Guzmán, but maybe the leadership is not the head of all this drug trafficking machinery that exists in Mexico, but also, as Freddy Álvarez told us, it is expert in drug trafficking, justice must be applied, whether the head is the head or not, joaquín el chapo guzmán has participated and has participated in various ways and for a long time, but one of the issues that most outrages all of us who are about to be Mexicans or because they are a relative of someone with an addiction, it is because there are no government people, government officials, being so many at so many levels, who have participated and have allowed this distribution of drugs to exist and who are not paying, that they are not in prison that obviously gives courage, it does not give courage but we must understand that Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán, whether or not he is the head of the cartel today, has participated in a great way, definitely if we have learned anything during these three months of almost a trial that has been Definitely a show, a highly mediated issue with characters in it giving testimonies as witnesses with the lawyers, also some characters with Chapo Guzmán himself, Emma Colonel, but there has also been a lot of learning, one is how it operates and how, but for so many years the Sinaloa cartel working with the Colombian cartels bringing cocaine through different methods, another is corruption and what has occurred during all these years so that the Sinaloa cartel could bring all these tons of drugs to the United States and there is evident the corruption that existed at the most levels. from the army police to probably the highest levels of the Mexican government and without a doubt seeing this dichotomy of description of a man, the lawyers did not call him a very intelligent, very macho gentleman and then in the trial we saw how he tortured with a cane He shoots 13 people who had been brought to him and then orders that while they are alive they be buried alive, a dichotomy of a man who has now been shown to have created so much violence and so much destruction not only within Mexico but here in the United States, how many lives? have not destroyed how many times how many parents do not have the privilege that most colonel has of having taken their daughters to see their father because those parents have lost children if because of drug addiction 250 thousand lives lost during these years of war against drug traffickers talk about 30,000 missing people, which is to say, perhaps the greatest pain of a parent, not knowing if your child is alive or dead, not knowing where he is, there is a true drama that is being experienced in Mexico as a result of this fight for routes to bring drugs to the United States and another lesson I would say from these three months of trial is that a wall is not going to work to stop the movement of drugs because the drugs have entered through tunnels or through the customs checkpoints through the transits that already exist not through places where perhaps a wall can be den by plane and by its party and by and through tunnels with air conditioning electricity under those walls and between houses and there is also this side that has to do with what They are mentioning what role the US plays because also being the intelligence that they are, etc., drugs continue to happen.

I don't think it is solely the responsibility of the drug cartels in Mexico and otherwise, you cannot blame those who distribute the drugs for the addiction but the epidemic. of addiction that in this country that is a much more complicated social fabric than what is happening in the US so probably right now states and we cannot stand our necks saying this is our fight against addictions, no the fight has to be much deeper I think where there is demand there will always be problems, of course, thank you very much, we continue with much more here at Telemundo News, stay with us, but the escape of Joaquín Guzmán Loera, ah Camacho, nothing illegal, I think that I am more than clear about singing information that Joaquín Guzmán actually loera was found guilty that a historic the guilty verdict against joaquín el chapo guzmán the life of joaquín el chapo guzmán has been marked by persecutions of tensions and escapes el chapo is guilty 10 times joaquín guzmán loera is found guilty after 3 months finally there is a unanimous verdict the drug trafficker who has sent the most drugs to the united states has his fate in prison probably for the rest of his life the trial of the century has come to an end this is a special edition of world news and well el chapo guzmán today guilty on ten charges he faces the rest of his life in a maximum security prison in the United States in Colorado his profession where the most dangerous terrorists in the world are in the United States Rebecca Smith has been covering this case from the first moment they are together with our colleague rogelio morata that in brooklyn forward so here we are still outside the federal court of brooklyn where we have been reporting very closely for the last three months everything that happens behind these doors and well we know this morning around 12 noon we found out Not Rogelio that a verdict was actually going to be reached and finally Chapo was found guilty of the ten charges against him, the first charge being the most damaging for him, which is being the leader of a criminal organization and each charge some of them.

They have their sub-charges, the most important is the first one with 27 sub-charges in Rojales, if you like, let's go over these 10 charges in which Joaquín Guzmán Loera has been found guilty, charge 1, as Rebeca mentioned, it is an ongoing relationship with a criminal enterprise, that charge really guaranteed that he would have a life-long prison sentence, of course, charge number 2 is awaiting sentencing, conspiracy for the international production and distribution of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and marijuana, and charge number 3 is conspiracy. to import cocaine followed by the fourth which is conspiracy to distribute and na charge number 5 international distribution of cocaine this is important to clarify Rogelio it does not matter whether or not the cocaine has arrived in the United States just having the intention of sending cocaine to this country for that reason The thing is that he is being tried for this charge, from charge number 5 to charge number 8, it is classified as a mesh, in the same way it is international distribution of cocaine because there are four charges with the same title, let's say, well, why is it basically a question of quantities but It's the same thing, there are four counts of international distribution of cocaine.

Charge number nine is the use of firearms. Rogelio should also clarify that the use of firearms is because many people will wonder, well, if he used firearms in Mexico because the It is of interest to the United States and the prosecutor's office to try him for this. Well, it is because there is a relationship with narcotics and there is a direct relationship with narcotics, so he can be tried for this charge, which is having a firearm while using it or intention to import narcotics and charge number 10 to launder narcotics proceeds so those are the ten charges in the ten.

Joaquín Guzmán Loera was found guilty had created some doubts, Rebeca, the fact that the jury was asking about some related things, especially for charge number one because we said damn then they barely go there, maybe they still have to review the other nine but not in reality it was that they were unclear about some things about the 27 sub-charges or violations that were contained in charge number 1, the most complicated of everyone but it seems that once those doubts were clarified, everything else today was resolved or was resolved in an instant and of those 27 of his 27 are charges or violations as he is also known, only two were not the prosecutor's office could not prove that He was responsible for exactly the other 25 sub-charges or violations and I know why the jury's verdict has been truly overwhelming because it found Joaquín Guzmán Loera guilty, we repeat June 25 at 10 in the morning Judge Brian Hogan goes to dictate the sentence that cannot be done, in some way Rebeca thinks that it is going to be something different, no longer and as Eduardo Balarezo explained to you, then we will begin to contemplate how the process is going to be carried out to appeal this decision and something curious What Rogelio's lawyers also explained to us is that it was truly Joaquín Guzmán Loera who encouraged the lawyers.

It seems that El Chapo was happy with the defense he has had throughout this trial. They physically and personally do not understand why he only A witness was brought in but that was something that the third lawyer agreed to, Geoffrey Lipman and Joaquín Guzmán Loera, but they reached that agreement and then what we do know is that these lawyers leave peacefully, they leave happy and apparently they have a client too. Don't worry, let's listen to what you think of the prosecutor's statements once the verdict was announced. Out here we hope that this decision will lead to a sentence of life in prison without bail, there is no escape or turning back.

This is a victory for the American people who He suffered for so long so long while they are going towards billions putting poison through our inter blue two years ago when Chapo Guzmán landed here in the US he is particularly here in New York to face the charges for which he was found guilty today I I had the opportunity to tell them that the realization of facing American justice was perceived in the environment and today I tell you that American justice has served a significant dose to Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán in this way ending his days of trafficking drugs ending his days of killing people and carrying out violent acts all with the purpose of poisoning our streets with cocaine, heroin and other types of narcotics.

This is a positive man. He has always been positive with us. He has always tried to support us. They are already flying and we see it clearly. different way of what society sees differently thanHow the government sees it, we see it by how it behaves with us. He has always been a gentleman. He has always supported us. He has always been positive and grateful for our efforts and that is the image we have later, Mr. Assmann. Well, in the end, we listen to the defense first. We listened to two people from the government's prosecutor's office, basically, who came with an important muscle to say, to talk about the conclusions of this.

A number of people came out in the court, since we actually found it in the prosecutor's office in a smaller number, but here The entire government was already represented with all its muscle, Rebeca came out and there were about 30 people calmly, no good, that represents it, it is a representative number because in the index in the investigation that Joaquín Guzmán Loera has here in Brooklyn, it is the US government. against Joaquín Guzmán Loera and today all that effort and the millions and millions of Jose and Rogelio dollars that have been spent on putting this trial as we have seen with so many witnesses and with so many testimonies, today it bore fruit and they finally achieved and He managed to get the jury to determine that Joaquín Guzmán Loera was guilty of the ten charges.

Quickly, the judges were represented, the DEA, the FBI, and also the office of Attorney General Jose, and there were also representatives of the law from other states who have also seen trials against El Chapo Guzmán, right, colleagues, yes, for example, the South Florida Prosecutor's Office because they also had a pending investigation, that's why it was also an armed investigation and so big because there were other representations of places where El Chapo also had some pending matters. well there are investigations in other states such as chicago el paso and sándigo and as rogelio already mentioned to me in florida and to ask one of the questions we all have that is emma colonel's reaction there we have images of more colonel leaving the building right after to find out about the sentence but her husband's guilty plea they also want to heal the avalanche of reporters trying to talk to her to see if she said something and she said nothing today emma colonel one of the lawyers of any el sapo guzmán He was talking about how he saw tears on Emma's face, Colonel Julio Baquero.

One of the things that shocked us a lot were the witnesses, I said, sometimes they seemed like something out of a novel, others seemed like they were from the worst nightmare dreams of plastic surgery and Jose, the truth is that they already said it. This case was perfectly geared because there was no room for error, they could not risk a different verdict than the one we are seeing today from the jury, so the accumulation of evidence was enormous and among the testimonies we heard crazy things, amazing things, things that made your skin crawl. witnesses who ended up in many cases betraying their boss, El Chapo Guzmán.

This is a review of the 56 witnesses who testified at the trial of Joaquín El Chapo. Guzmán highlighted the betrayal of his former partners before the jury. Several of those companions recounted atrocious crimes of El Chapo, one of them was Jesús El Rey Zambada, his former lieutenant in Mexico City and younger brother of El Mayo, Zambada narrated what the operations of the Sinaloa cartel were like from Colombia to New York, saying that they bribed politicians and military personnel in Mexico and revealed that Guzmán ordered the murder of one of his partners just because he did not want to shake his hand at the end of a meeting, another was Juan Carlos Ramírez Abadía alias Chupeta, one of his Colombian cocaine suppliers appeared with a face deformed by plastic surgeries and drew attention to his unvarnished stories of how Guzmán achieved respect for his methods of crossing drugs into the United States through tunnels on the border.

For his part, Pedro Flórez, who was his drug distributor in Chicago, explained how he trafficked narcotics in several American cities, but one One of the most anticipated witnesses was Vicente Zambada Nieve Vicenillo, the son of his former partner Vicentillo, for all the details of Chapo's escape from the Puente Grande prison in 2001 and the problems they had with the Carrillo Fuentes brothers. His testimony was classified as a betrayal of His father gave one of the biggest surprises to xxi Fuentes Villa stated that former Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto requested a payment of 250 million dollars from El Chapo for his political campaign but said that they only gave him 100 million.

He also stated that the cartel de los Beltrán Leyva paid the army to attack Guzmán's people during the presidency of Felipe Calderón Lucero Sánchez, the deputy chapó was his lover and supplier of marijuana, however in court he assured that Guzmán took advantage of their love relationship to ask him to traffic marijuana and will launder money for his cartel, but one of the most important testimonies was that of Dámaso López, the financial operator of the Sinaloa cartel. The lawyer revealed the bloodthirsty side of Chapo, speaking about at least six murders of rivals and traitors that the capo ordered and left. more pearls Emma Colonel coordinated Chapo's escape from the Altiplano prison in Mexico and blamed the gangster's children for the crime of journalist Javier Valdez, without a doubt a true series of nothing more, it was a truly revealing trial because of these testimonies, it is often said that drug traffickers lead luxurious lives of adventure and opulence because they know that their end will be soon either because they are killed or because they are caught and here we actually saw that many of them have already met their end in the hands of justice American Jose also Julio who when things get very heated are willing to talk to anyone with whomever those pacts of the old mafia are far from reality today July thank you very much let's talk a little more about what the future of joaquín el chapo guzmán doctor alfredo izaguirre criminal lawyer is with us doctor thank you for being with us the lawyers of joaquín el chapo Guzmán in this exclusive world news interview say that they are going to appeal that they are going to ask what they can look for in the future when If a defendant is found guilty, he has the automatic right to appeal in the appeal.

The judges of the operation do not decide if El Chapo did it or not, they simply appeal errors that have occurred in I imagine that in this case the judge is a judge who knows What the prosecutors are doing are people who know what they are doing and I imagine that they have done everything to prevent there from being any process, any cause to appeal, if it is difficult to remain in a federal trial of this magnitude, it is even more difficult than giving a federal appeal. His defense lawyers are also mentioned about the issue of his extradition, which was somewhat irregular, that is something they can fight, the traditional treaty was made between Mexico and the United States.

There are certain things that the court does not have jurisdiction when they are treaties from country to country. They simply They take care of the right of the accused of amendment 4, 5 and 6 so those are extra things from governments that sometimes the appeals court does not interfere the federal government has said that it will continue that what they uncovered a pot of corruption does not end here the words Verbatim from the prosecutor it was here that things do not end, the federal government is speaking in these accusations, if you are in different positions that they are going to look for the 14 billion dollars that Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán has in cash that they legally go or can do, it could be from and confiscate any type of money that he has within the United States, any type of property that he has in the name of another person who is supposedly keeping his property or money.

The Mexican government also has to take care of confiscating money and property that I imagine Also they are not in the name of the chat will have properties of money but not everything will be enough name of the then the Mexican government has to get together with the American government and try to confiscate all those properties and money lawyer as to the case to how the defense lawyers were taken when We were therefore asking them why they brought only one witness when the prosecution brought 56 ​​the scale is completely loaded to one side and some of them alleged that there had not been enough time to present and charge these witnesses, not three months are not enough but the trial This has taken a long time and the judge has given the defense enough time to present a case.

The problem and I imagine that whatever has happened is when an accused begins to call witnesses, the prosecution has the obligation to present all obedience against the accused when the accused begins to call witnesses on his behalf then the jury begins and takes that job away from the prosecution then comes a balance of who you believe the government witnesses or the Chapo's witnesses potentially that's why it was simply more that they called a witness and water and the defense lawyer said that if it had been up to him they would have called no witnesses because then it is a verdict of who is more credible but that is difficult to understand, not because when you are defending someone then you need arguments for and against the right to remain silent and not present witnesses at the same time as it begins to present witnesses, then the balance changes, the witnesses say well, I believe one, I believe the Chapo's witness who was the government's witness, the dynamics of the trial now change and it may be information that Until now it has not been reduced in the trial by the prosecution, for example in recent days there was a report that the chapon the witnesses said that the chapo asked for 13 year old girls to rape that they paid him to bring him 13-year-old girls to be able to rape that did not come out as evidence in the judicial process against him but Chapo also had the right to testify and speak and they decided that they should not speak to him either.

All of this is to limit information such as the rape. El Chapo testifies then the government the prosecution has the right to ask him questions at his trial so I imagine that the prosecutor would have asked well if you are innocent why that prison fire twice in Mexico if you are innocent because all these drug traffickers were They know and they say that you have done business with all of them, well a person could be lying but 14 15 people that the story is basically a sequence there is no story that makes sense El Chapo would not have been in a position that is very difficult to explain the position in which the state would have testified in court as a lawyer as a criminalist that you are, there is a dream case for someone who has to defend an alleged criminal but of this magnitude if you would have liked to be his lawyer if it is obviously a case that has caused punctuality of the defense lawyers one said that it is the biggest case that he has handled obviously for a new defense it is better to win the trial than to lose because everyone thinks well he is the lawyer yes but he lost the case of the chat case but if it is a very difficult case for that person and if I believe that any defense lawyer would have done it, doctor, tell us about what life faces for Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán in the 61 years that he has been there, there has been very different what is coming to him Where will he be in June?

They will automatically sentence him to carbon number 1. The judge wants what he wants to do, he has to give him life. Life is a life sentence forever. That notion that life is 30 years is not going to come out, not life is physical life. and he is going to die in prison, potentially I imagine that he is going to go to a high and maximum security prison based on the one that has been tried to be played or has been played twice there is a prison that is underground in light color and possibly there It is where the rest of the prison is located underground, so to make a tunnel like they did on the plateau, there would have to be four of every road, but in that prison where it is, it also houses terrorists, etc., so what would life be like? of an inmate in a super prison it could possibly be 24 23 and a half hours only in a cell only with his blessing, in other words we are talking about that when one arrives at a type of prison of this style one is no longer treated like in others which is a type of attempted reform where they can read where they can have to be alone the rest of their life and potentially it will give them half an hour to exercise this is hell in viana if you are going to have visits conjugal visit to the daughters conjugal visits here in the US they do not exist In other countries, Colombia, Mexico, they potentially exist but here they don't exist.

I don't know if to what extent the family will let him see it based on the fact that he has already escaped twice. He is possibly the safest prisoner the United States has had based on his history. of escape wow in the USA the lives of others are going to be very difficult thank you who wishes with us we are going to a brief break and we continue with much more in this special news in the world of El Chapo Guzmán guilty of 10 charges against him He will never leave a prison again, we are back, Raúl Torres, our correspondent in Mexico, I have been following this news, Raúl, and you will also be just as surprised as I.

We have not heard reactions from the authorities. So, July is surprising because, as you have said, how do we know? There is a halo of legend around the figure of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán not only because of the large amount of drugs he brought to the United States that he also trafficked in Mexico, because of the large amount of money, the large amount of violence and also because in someareas of Sinaloa, especially Chapo Guzmán, is loved and respected because in some way he helped some communities, but we must remember that this is a report that the police have, it is a report from the federal police, around 2,000 deaths are attributed to Chapo Guzmán. direct, that is, what he could have ordered or committed of that magnitude is the violence that Chapo Guzmán generated, of course, many more murders than the ones the Sinaloa cartel would have been involved in, however, let me tell you that there are many reactions on social networks fundamentally on Twitter TV or just some people saying that the ones who celebrate the most at this moment in the verdict against Chapo Guzmán are other drug traffickers because now they know that they are going to there is a place there that is available and that it is good to look for it and they would be looking for it others say that it is about a compatriot who is very bad is that verdict another one I found a twitter it is not visible a meme a photograph of Enrique Peña Nieto and Felipe Calderón behind bars they say after this verdict El Chapo Guzmán and another who says that El Chapo was actually a hero who risked his life and some who are not there also say that they are not so sure that he is not going to escape from taking it out in the US because as we all know here he escaped from being fired twice from penalties of maximum security those are in that sense but there are also other other Twitter users other messages saying that after Chapo Guzmán fell many politicians and even businessmen who were linked to him and who are also guilty should fall other others say that we must leave to praise him because at the end of the day he is a criminal and let me also finally tell you that well, as we all know, Chapo Guzmán was always for many years, he was on the Forbes list on this list of the world's billionaires and although I have been listening to talk about his fortune when he had where is it good because according to the magazine we have to remember that they even said that he had between 3,000 and 4,000 million dollars and that is why he raises the question well if so where is he in July yes definitive raúl one of the big questions and how interesting these reactions are that generated by Chapo Guzmán, it is impossible to remain neutral or not have a reaction to Chapo Guzmán, he is a character that generates many feelings, you Raúl, because we are in Mexico, there are many drug leaders, there are many. big criminals, but you Raúl, what do you attribute to the fact that El Chapo generated this and no one else?

I think it's precisely because of everything he did and what others didn't do, simply to start the two escapes, but it has to do with their criminal career because we must remember that when he became famous it was in 1993 when the Tijuana cartel of the Arellano Félix brothers, in an ambush at the Guadalajara airport, tried to kill him they tried to kill him after you had been allies they fought over the route They fight over drug trafficking, they try to kill him and they don't succeed. The one they murder is General Cardinal Juan Jesús Posadas Ocampo.

It happens and 993 and that does that, let's say that it catapults him and launches him into fame because he was a very important character. moment let's say the main head of the Catholic hierarchy in Mexico that catapults him to fame because a real manhunt breaks out and then in 1993 El Chapo Guzmán is captured in Guatemala then brought here and taken to the maximum security prison it was then called Almoloya Over the years he changed the name to the Altiplano, well, he escaped there, from there he was transferred to the Puente Grande prison, which is also a maximum security prison, and he escaped and there he was catapulted to the fame of Joaquín Guzmán Loera.

They became the public enemy number one and then and well and then it effectively led the Sinaloa cartel to become the most powerful criminal organization not only in Mexico but considered one of the most powerful in the world all around the figure of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán Julio and What do you want now, Raúl, for the future of organized crime in Mexico, without Chapo Guzmán, the Sinaloa cartel as it is and also these new groups that have been growing in recent years, such as the Jalisco new generation, this is good according to official reports, the Sinaloa cartel Sinaloa is, let's say, in decline, it was divided into various criminal organizations, some of them would be directed by the sons of Chapo Guzmán, another by Mayo Zambada and by others and by other groups that are part of the Sinaloa cartel, but effectively, as you say.

After the Sinaloa cartel had great power, reports from experts say that at this moment the cartel with the most money, the greatest firepower, the one who is trafficking the most drugs but also commits other types of crimes, is effectively the Jalisco cartel new generation and that is why at this moment although it is not a figure like Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán at this moment in the nemesio oseguera el mencho is the criminal the most wanted criminal leader is the criminal the public enemy number one let's say at this moment in this country July but Raúl had a different strategy with the new government that could put an end to this violence with this organized crime, well so far no because although they want to form the national guard that they say will eventually withdraw the army from the streets and the combat organized crime, the truth is that it will be made up fundamentally of sailors and soldiers, so that is a criticism that many have made of this new administration, which is that they do not see a fundamental change in the fight against organized crime and In fact, the president of López Obrador has just given the order to send a greater number of soldiers precisely to Ciudad Juárez because after that it was considered one of the most violent cities in the world, if not the most violent, they managed to reduce the number of murders the number of homicides but it had an interesting factor which was that Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán, precisely with the Sinaloa cartel, dominated and took the place from the Juárez cartel and that is why that was one of the factors that led to Whether the violence decreased, well, this violence is on the rise again and that is why the government of López Obrador decided to send a greater number of military personnel, so we do not see a change yet, let's say fundamental, in the strategy, so according to specialists This would mean that there is still time for the violence in the country to begin to decrease July well then hopefully that time will not be too long thank you Raúl Torres from Mexico City we have already said it here not here the fight does not end the dea itself insisted this morning that they will continue working to stop drug trafficking effectively July and happiness one of the questions that one asks not as a man so intelligent to use the words that his group of defense lawyers used in that exclusive interview to whom Telemundo news a such an intelligent man with the king of the tunnels with all the money in the world under his belt, how does he fall into the hands of the authorities?

Well, I believe that there are certain characteristics of a person with that profile, not just one. I believe that they fall in love with power. and another you always have a weakness in life and one of your weaknesses apparently has been the women in this house a woman 32 years younger than him and well in addition to all the other women that I had in my life but there was one that I admired She didn't really like watching the super Telemundo series La Reina del Sur whose protagonist was and will continue to be, by the way, Kate del Castillo, then when she made contact with Kate del Castillo, who at that time she will remember, you will also be a lawyer.

She, one day she makes a statement. through twitter in some way saying that sometimes they trusted more in someone like joaquín el chapo guzmán he feels flattered in some way and creates a contact with her which happens to intercept communications and when she pays a visit with samper they manage to locate them he wanted to be famous and that his life and arrival on the big screen was the ego, not the black man, he betrayed him because due to an encounter with Kate del Castillo and champagne, as happiness said, Joaquín Guzmán Loera was therefore easy prey for the Mexican authorities, he is a star of Hollywood, a soap opera actress and the most wanted drug trafficker in the world, this is how the real-life story of the fall of Chapo Guzmán begins, although no one would believe it.

Joaquín Guzmán Loera wanted to tell his story and while he was imprisoned in the maximum security prison of the Altiplano, his lawyers received several proposals to make a film about his life, but the only person he would trust would be Kate del Castillo. She gave him the rights to the film and the exclusive rights to tragedies everywhere. Gates, excited about the project, is looking for partners in hollywood first the argentine producer fernando sulichin who she met at director oliver stone's house it was sulichin who would contact her with the american actor and producer jon pen he was known for being interested in latin american politics he met with hugo chavez and raúl castro had spoken openly in against the fight against drugs for the producers and the actress on board in the project someone as recognized as penn would only make him more attractive for his album two months after escaping from the highlands el chapo invited kate to meet promising her not to would be in danger in October 2015 when he took a plane to Mexico with John Payne and the two producers, after a trip that would last 14 hours, they arrived at Guzmán Loera's camp in a remote place in the mountains of Sinaloa.

The anticipated meeting was narrated by song pn in an article published in January 2016 by the rolling stones magazine just a few hours after his capture, according to pen, the meeting began with a toast in honor of the fact that the actor was surprised that in the 7 hours that the meeting lasted, Chapo did not He stopped smiling, the appointment was sealed with this photograph and the promise to continue working in the production of Chapo's life, but only three months later in January 2016, Chapo was arrested by the Mexican authorities this morning in the municipality of Los Mochis, Sinaloa.

Members of the security institutions of the government of the republic managed to arrest Joaquín Guzmán Loera, thus ending a 25-year criminal career in which Guzmán Loera managed to bring 155 tons of cocaine into the country, escaped from two maximum security prisons and converted the cartel into Sinaloa in the largest and bloodiest criminal enterprise in the world but he fell when he let his guard down, enchanted by a woman, as everyone here knows. In October 2015, I actually interviewed Mr. Guzmán Loera in order to evaluate the possibility of producing a film. series or documentary about his life, on this occasion I was accompanied by two Hollywood producers and an American actor who were interested in his testimony and participating in the project months later, in January 2016, said interview was made public and coincided with the recapture of Mr.

Guzmán today to decide from the prosecutor Adam Pilsch apparently they break help to his and almost went to his location and subsequent capture I was not aware of such a situation and this is the betrayal that I always talked about Kate del Castillo talking about Son's betrayal so she says and she is sure that john who was the one who took the authorities to where joaquín el chapo guzmán was was anyone shampoos van a big fan of the queen of the south' through telemundo when they tried to capture him once they met in Her bedroom Los Dividos de la Reina del Sur' is not going to be able to see La Reina del Sur 2, which is coming to Telemundo screens soon because she is going to be in this maximum security prison, but Kate del Castillo maintains that it was the one where she handed over to chapu they go to the authorities this is part of the exclusive interview we had with her recently there are times when life seems like fiction and fiction seems - without a doubt real but the case for example of el chapo that affected your life so much It changed my life in that sense.

This has followed the Chapeau case more or less, not much because I was working, but I have been more or less aware. I know that they have said many things like everything is opening up there and well, what can I tell you? No, what I'm happy about is that they didn't call me, they were preparing me, but they didn't call me in the end to go testify, neither the prosecutor's office nor the deference contacted you no no no no no longer no longer no longer the prosecutor's office yes because they spoke to me and So they were preparing me for yes, I had to go, but I'm thankful that they didn't call me.

Many witnesses have spoken about the obsession that Chapo Guzmán had with having documentary films made of him, etc., and you were involved in that because you were involved in the situation that happened to you. changed life, tell me a little about how it changed life as a 'law of getting hold of that extraordinary thing that was happening. I don't even know how he dealt with it because I was completely alone and I don't just say it metaphorically, but in a way because he told me from At the very least I felt like I was alone against the whole world but literally I was alone in my house without my family I don't have a husband I don't have a boyfriend so it was a very hard moment that I would have loved to be able to share with someone because maybe it would have been less less hard and having been able to be with my parents to see their faces, not because we both know that we spoke on the phone and I acted strong and they acted strong so it was very hard and I think in the end what it did to me go through all that and know that I was telling the truth because I am who I am, I assume theconsequences of the decisions that I make and that's it, the rest is no longer crazy, I don't control it, but I always had the truth, I knew what the truth was and that kept me firm, firm, if you believe that a Chapo Guzmán has some good Of course, every human being has good and bad, what one directs in one thing is a life and others choose another, they choose themselves like Teresa Mendoza, they do not choose forgiveness and because they are born in a world that is already like that, but what I saw was he is that at least he loves his children he loves his children above all things his mother so well that speaks of love and someone there is something there that has that feeling you would like to make the film or the documentary that you had in mind you know I'm so disgusted right now and that's the word for everything that happened, I had such a bad time and I also had such a bad time, and now they've already released documentaries, they've released this one in series and all of that doesn't interest me right now, besides the fact that the trial of the sir, no, right now I'm not interested, I want all of this to pass completely, you have the rights and if in the handwriting of Chapo Guzmán, the wife of the subject Colonel told us exclusively that if until now he says that it is from the punishment that he is not interested in doing neither documentary nor film about the life of Chapo Guzmán.

She says in that interview just a few weeks ago that she didn't even want to think about what she had to go through and why the trial continued, the trial is over, let's see. What happens is interesting, the happiness is that the last thing I asked her was from the castle in that exclusive interview, if she has communicated with El Chapo after El Chapo has already been brought to the United States, she said that yes, she received it in the hands of the lawyers. from Chapo a message from him to her who was I am very sorry for what they have put them through and I know that you were not the culprit look at that I imagine some calm not a calm from day to night what a wonderful and great interview Jose, very good interview from Castillo, as well as a while ago our colleague Rebeca Smith was able to have exclusive access to two of the three defense lawyers of Chapo Guzmán, words like very intelligent macho and even a gentleman were heard from the mouths of these lawyers, but let's see What did they say to Rebeca after this decision by the jury, which is the first thing that came to mind: art, well, I'm telling you the truth and Joaquín, we thought that this was what was going to happen because he was already convicted before The trial began but anyway we tried, we tried to do as much as possible, we fought as hard as possible and another result is always expected, but Joaquín told me this morning that his feet are firmly planted on the floor and he hoped to be calm, he knew what he was facing, but he really knows what it means to spend the rest of his life in prison.

He is very aware of that now because right now, of course, William is there, because we have talked on many occasions about chupeta, that this guy is the leader of the Valle del Norte cartel that he was one of the main partners at the time of Joaquín Guzmán Loera for which he had more than 16 surgeries, which he began to describe how he had sent more than 10 boats to Mexico, seven of them were successful Three of them were confiscated, so this subject changed his entire identity to be able to try to evade the authorities and remain free.

For you, which would be the jury, which testimony has hurt them the most, which hurts the defense the most, but they were all equally harmful, each one. He had a story to tell for me, he is a witness that I interrogated who was Vicente Zambada, the son of Mayo Vicente because that is the narco juniors, this nation lived in this system and had a lot of information that obviously hurt us also now after that. These three months of trial passed, Eduardo, do you think it was a fair trial? It was a fair trial in the sense that Joaquín received a trial, but as I told you before, he was already convicted before the trial began. his story then we had to fight not only against the evidence that we have in court but against the evidence and the history that exists outside as you saw your client today at the moment they named him who is responsible for these days charges of the ten charges that They accuse him, they name him guilty, as you saw, as I told you, or the person who was prepared for everything.

I don't think he was nervous, but rather he was ready for the whole process to end, and that's what he told us this morning. There are also the words and immediately after To leave the federal court, lawyer Alfredo Izaguirre, what do you think about the opinions that El Chapo's Saturdays have about him? Well, obviously they said that the Chapos are intelligent and that there is no doubt that he is intelligent, he has created a company where he has earned millions and million million dollars has been able to create an illegal company. El Chapo is a person who has to deal with people in a brutal way and in this case with the lawyers of the obviously it is not possible to charge him.

He has to be an intelligent person. He cannot. It depends on his lawyers, he cannot demand from him in a bad or powerful way as he is used to doing with his lawyers, therefore his lawyers will have a perspective from a calm passive docile person and I am sure that El Chapo never taught them the ability to violence that has said that I take things like a macho if in the federal government a defendant has the right declared guilty or to go to trial a person like El Chapo I imagine I don't know what he has bribed enough people in the laws as well as the police people from the government in Mexico and El Chapo might have been able to negotiate with the American government by giving the information, especially to these people, to the point of anger, bribed from the exact situation in Mexico, and instead of going to trial he could have pleaded guilty and maybe they would have been They would have lowered the sentence based on the information he would have been given by the officials at the polls now at this time where he knows what he is going to spend the rest of his day underground in a high security federal prison and with what he knows the knowledge he has of who was paid how much and why he could try to enter into a negotiation so that the charges will be lowered if he tells everyone everyone normally after a trial that is after jarrett even it's like he says you portray the The prosecution at the trial no longer talks to you now the other witnesses who testified against the chat if they can continue cooperating they say they are cooperating with the USA test cooperated and testified against the chat those people are going to have their sentences lowered one possibly taking into account consideration that Chapo with a violent person will lower his sentence and potentially up to 50 60 percent of the sentence they have now, meaning that Chapo lost his opportunity in that sense but Julio Baquero told us that, for example, the chupeta A person who declaredly murdered about 150 people, as it is legally possible that, despite everything, it is his reduction, he receives 15 years in prison, although the person has created so much violence and has killed so many people, those deaths are in Mexico, so possibly in the treaty it is a tradition of that person individually he was treated for drug trafficking it is understood that he killed certain people but he was not sentenced for the deaths but simply for drug trafficking doctor it is of interest to for example the US government and therefore also the Mexican government that when El Chapo arrives guzmán here they tell you we are not going to pressure you to give us all the information of all those who bought the bribe and we leave it at that so that it is not painful for our government or the Mexican government that is of interest to the Mexican government the US government maybe says well We have to be an example to this person, this person has escaped twice from Mexican prisons and we have to show that this here in the United States is not going to happen and they took him as an example of punishing him and sanctioning him as much as possible because there You have it, thank you very much for these explanations, lawyer Alfredo Izaguirre.

In the meantime, we are going to take a brief break, which he says with us here on Noticias Telemundo. Guzmán Loera, Chapo Guzmán, guilty of the 10 charges against him, will spend the rest of his life in a maximum security prison. in the United States happiness and our colleague and telemundo news correspondent rebecca smith who is present throughout this historic trial of joaquín guzmán loera is going to give us a brief summary about this entire trial that such a rebeca we listen to you how about happiness jose again after 56 witnesses 200 hours of testimony 44 days of trial finally the jury after six days of deliberations reached a verdict in the federal court in Brooklyn they have been very intense days we have heard from 14 cooperating witnesses many of them were witnesses who testified for days and days in the cross-examination that Joaquín Guzmán's defense is entitled to, this cross-examination was also carried out for days and days, Chupeta, the Cifuentes brothers, the son of Mayo Zambada, El Vicentillo, Mr.

Dámaso lópez, defined an endless number of people very close to Chapo, very close. To whom El Chapo, some of them even write to us, how El Chapo even pulled the trigger on three members of the enemy cartel, such as the Zetas and the Arellano Félix, is that we often hear testimonies and testimonies, he put a lot of money, both boring but many of them. They very reveal evidence of how drug trafficking operates in Mexico, many of them let us know how bribery is impregnated in the fabric and social fabric of Mexico, unfortunately, and how the US government had to support the Mexican government.

In order to reach and find the person responsible for one of the main cartels in Mexico, the Sinaloa Cartel, today the US authorities are going home happy because after many years and millions and millions of dollars spent, they finally manage to convict Chapo and El Chapo is found thanks to a jury here 12 civilians are found guilty and many of the members of the authorities either from the FBI DEA because they say that it is a gain for the American public today at the same time the American people win and win because they are in a tough fight against drug trafficking and they go home very calm Joaquín Guzmán Loera as he already said in happiness José will not be able to see the light of day again he will have very limited visits probably only from his daughters we will have to see if Emma Colonel He will be able to visit the Supermax prison but we are very, very alert and also very aware of when the sentence reading will be, which is expected to be next June towards Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán and there we will know what the latest is for this subject for this generic drug trafficking leader, you who have been present every day, many times you have had to sleep at night to be very early in the morning prepared to enter the court for the trial and two or three things that have impacted you during these almost three months is a very good question José is not used to it I am the interviewee I think that what impacted me most about this trial is the defense's tenacity in trying to prove that El Chapo was not the true leader of the Sinaloa cartel but rather the The real leader was Mayo, so how they tried to weave this doubt among the members of the jury.

That shocked me a lot, but above all, how is it that many of those who come to testify today or those who came to testify today reach a verdict all these cooperating witnesses because they can very likely be released and only as long as they reach Chapo because many of them received an agreement with the prosecution and well in some cases like him chupeta that we already mentioned with Rogelio because he may be able to return to walk free in 15 years and well he killed and admitted to having killed 150 people in this court and also of course lastly José the sacrifice that we had to gladly of course present to some journalists sometimes sleeping on this sidewalk to to be able to come and witness this trial of the cycle that today had the exclusive interview that you saw here with the group of defense lawyers of Chapo Guzmán and a few months ago the exclusive interview with Emma Colonel thank you very much happiness the defense lawyers have very little What to do regarding a better future for Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán and his future has been decided today, this is how it is not coming, confirmed by the criminal lawyer we have here as a guest, Alfredo Izaguirre, and also as he was telling us a little while ago.

Previously, Fred Hay in Mexico has a lot of experience analyzing cases of drug traffickers, but hey, we are talking about a person with around three decades of criminal career who has on his record having crossed into the US around 200 tons of drugs due to having escaped. of film as it became in Mexico twice and also have a film capture with Hispanic television characters involved and with characters even from Hollywood this is this has truly been a life of a film that we know today is going to end up cloistered in a prison, truly nothing is a grave in life, it is exactly true that it is an existence where 23 of the 24 hours a day she will be in her small cell without access to communicate with lawyers or with her relatives, she cannot Talking on the phone is a very miserable and miserable existence, but well, that's what he has to do for having led those 30 years of life, causing great destruction.

It also poses destruction. That's what Jose is. The future for Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán is already done. We will have a lot. more today innews from the world at 6 35 30 center a recapitulation of everything we have experienced today happiness and more true it will be if you stay with telemundo as you already know we are always up to date with the most important things that are happening in the US and especially at 10 9 center with a lot of surprise here in news the world I show the Guzmán Loera game cover a male myth nothing illegal I think it is more than clear to me sometimes take notes and want to reread this singing information that indeed joaquín guzmán loera was found guilty that a historic guilty verdict found joaquín el chapo guzmán
