Drug lord 'El Chapo' sentenced to life in prison



Mexican drug lord "El Chapo" has been sentenced to life in jail in New York.

Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman, who had headed the notorious Sinaloa cartel in Mexico, was on trial for murder conspiracy and a number of drug charges.

Judge Brian Cogan sentenced him to life plus 30 years in jail on Wednesday.

The court also ruled that he would have to pay back $12.6 billion (€11.2bn), which it is estimated he took from his dealings over around 25 years.

"El Chapo," had been found guilty of masterminding an industrial-level smuggling criminal gang in February.
