El Chapo's son pleads not guilty to US drug trafficking charges

Joaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of former Sinaloa drug cartel leader El Chapo, has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges related to one of the largest illegal drug operations in the world. The charges, which include drug trafficking and conspiracy, could potentially carry the death penalty if he is found guilty. Lopez entered his plea in a Chicago federal court, where he was arrested in a dramatic operation that involved delivering his father's former partner to authorities. He was detained alongside Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada Garcia, who evaded arrest for decades. Lopez's father, El Chapo, is already serving a life sentence in the US.
