'El Chapo' Guzman's health worsening after extradition setback, lawyer says

Ciudad Juarez –  Following a major legal setback in their battle to avoid notorious Mexican drug lordUnited States.

Joaquin "El Chapo" (Shorty) Guzman's extradition, his defense attorneys appear to be laying the groundwork for a possible argument that he is unfit to stand trial in the

 Guzman is in somewhat better spirits than a few months ago because his wife, Emma Coronel, visited him last week, but he is concerned about his mental health because his head hurts and he is experiencing memory loss, Silvia Delgado, his attorney in the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez, told EFE Friday. The imprisoned Sinaloa cartel chief's short-term memory is increasingly diminished, and in the prison where he is confined in Ciudad Juarez officials are only giving him one-fourth of the anxiolytic medication doctors have prescribed, Delgado said.

"He put a lot of emphasis on his health. He says he wouldn't make an attempt on his own life for the sake of his two (young) daughters, but he urged us to help him with his health," she said after visiting the prison where he has been held since May.

She said she could not say that Guzman "is confident he won't be extradited soon, but he's at ease with the work we're doing as his legal representatives," Delgado added.

Andres Granados, one of the leaders of Guzman's defense team, told EFE that his client could die as soon as December if he continues to be mistreated inside the prison.

"(Guzman) told me. His health has deteriorated. He feels bad. They're taking his medication away. It seems like the federal government wants to kill him before he can be extradited," the attorney said in an interview at the Ciudad Juarez airport after visiting the high-profile inmate.

The defense attorney said Guzman was taking more than four medications for headaches, as well as anti-depressants, anxiolytics and other drugs.The federal Attorney General's Office announced Thursday that a federal judge ruled against a series of appeals by Guzman in his extradition battle.

 His defense attorneys said that same day they would appeal to higher courts within 10 working days and that a new ruling could take several months or up to a year.

They could further appeal to Mexico's Supreme Court and, if necessary, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, Granados said.

 If all of those appeals fail Guzman would be transferred to the United States, where he has been indicted in several states on charges including criminal conspiracy, racketeering and money laundering.

 While it remains unclear whether the assertions about memory loss and poor health will have any impact on Guzman's appeals process in Mexico, his defense team may be planning to use those health issues to argue that he is unfit to stand trial in the United States or merits less severe sentences.

The Mexican government, for its part, appears hopeful that it can extradite Guzman, who has twice escaped from maximum-security prisons, in the near future.

His most recent escape occurred in 2015 and was a humiliating blow for President Enrique Peña Nieto's government, although he was recaptured a few months later.

He had earlier broken out of a prison in the western state of Jalisco in 2001 and spent more than 13 years on the run before being recaptured on Feb. 22, 2014, in the Pacific resort city of Mazatlan.

Guzman's criminal organization rose to become one of the main sources of illicit drugs entering the United States.

 The Mexican kingpin's wealth led to his name regularly appearing on Forbes magazine's list of global billionaires.

On Friday, National Security Commissioner Renato Sales said the drug lord could be extradited in January or February once all of his appeals have been exhausted.

    5. Mz is one of the many big fishes who are from that narc state, but above those "mountain ppl", are "other ppl" who run everything from drug traficking organizations, money laundering banks to entire "law enforcement agencies", those that don't have to run or hide from the federals while they do their deeds right in front of their faces. That was the question about. Perhaps something like secret societies.

    2. I've been saying this for a while... This is all a smoke curtain.. Mark my words when I say that the last thing we will ever know about el chapo is that he died in prison from massive heart attack... Whether we decide to buy it or not is up to the individual, but nothing is far fetched when it comes to Guzman ...

  6. BILLSHIT! This is another ploy from Chapo to avoid extradition and or a trip to a max security facility in the U.S. if he is extradited.
    I, mean who are his fuckin lawyers trying to fool? People don't get sick for being in jail with no apparent reason! What is this fucker a parrot or animal that dies if moved from his home???
    According to some newspapers he has had at least 150 visits from lawyers to family members etc... to at least 23 visits from his wife! This is by no means total isolation!!!

    6. Knew a guy in max security. He lived next door. Had about 15 years in max. It was wintertime and you could keep food cold on your window ledge. This guy had lost about 40 lbs. He looked skinny and sickly. I said what's happening with your weight.
      He told me he was on a diet that would improve his health. And all he was eating was popsicles.
      I told him that wasn't the best way to go! He disagreed, and I left it at that!
      Within 2 weeks, he had left the range for lockup for protective custody. His mind was shot as he had no reason to fear for his life.
      Anyway, lots of guys lose it over the years. Many go paranoid psyhcophrenic, hearing voices coming from the vents and TV and radio and over the air waves.
      No way you can convince them that there is no problem or it's their head playing tricks. If they don't get meds they usually stab someone or check-in to protective custody--like the popsicle-diet guy!

  17. This midget is scared to hit US soil. When he is finally extradited he will be forever cut off with the outside world except his neighbors "Mr. Wall and Mr. Floor." If he is a good boy they might turn on his mini black & white tv for a hour or so. Then again it is strictly ADX programming.

  18. Good. I hope that midget P.O.S is suffering in jail. I hope his days are filled with anxiety, guilt, grief, and any other form of psychological pain possible. He deserves it for the death and destruction he's sown throughout Mexico.

    I'm glad he's going to rot in a prison cell and never get to enjoy his money or spend more than 10 minutes a day with his family talking on the phone or looking at them through glass, steel and metal bars. Midget loser!

  19. Chapo is too big a player. Neither the Mexican nor the US governments want him to talk. If this is really Chapo in prison, the soap opera will continue until either he escapes again or they stage his death. Both govenments LIKE organized crime, they can control it and Chapo has a history of working with both governments. The Sinaloa Cartel will be around a long time because it works hand in hand with both governments, the lesser of the evils out there. If you don't understand this, then you have no idea on how the world really works. Too much money in drugs to really end the cash cow. Everyone from the DEA, to ICE to local cops, to lawyers make too much money off drugs. Better to have it organized with someone you can manage, that is why Chapo & Mayo will be around for a long time.
