US Formally Requests Ovidio Guzman Lopez’ Extradition

“Socalj” for Borderland Beat


The United States government has formalized its request for the extradition from Mexico of Ovidio Guzmán López "El Ratón", son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. The formal request comes a week ahead of the March 5, 2023 deadline set for 40 days after his arrest in Culiacan which resulted in waves of violence in Sinaloa and other areas of Mexico. The operation and its aftermath left 29 dead, including 10 soldiers. The raid involved laying siege to the town of Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa, and the neighboring town of Jesús María for more than 24 hours.

"El Raton" is being charged in Washington, DC with several counts of conspiracy to import cocaine, methamphetamine, and marijuana into the US. His indictment dates back to July 2017 but remained classified until January 2019. It was not until September of that year, however, that Washington filed the extradition request to Mexico. A month later, on October 17, 2019, Mexican authorities first captured Guzmán in Culiacán. Narco-blockades, shootouts, and riots in the city prompted President Andrés Manuel López Obrador to give the order to release him. The fiasco went down in history as the “Culiacanazo” and was one of the lowest moments for the current government in the struggle against the cartels.

Federal sources confirmed that the Attorney General's Office (FGR) received the letter formalizing the extradition request together with the file containing evidence to support the charges against Ovidio for the request from the US. The FGR must present the file before the federal control judge of the State of Mexico that is handling the extradition process and request a hearing date.

Since his capture, two Mexican judges have suspended his extradition to the US without prior judicial proceedings. These decisions do not halt the extradition process, but instead, oblige appeals judges to ensure that the provisions of the bilateral extradition treaty are being respected.

Last week, it was discovered that an arrest warrant was issued by a federal judge in the state of Sonora for crimes that have not yet been revealed by authorities. From the Amparo his lawyers filed, he has a provisional suspension that protects him from the execution of the arrest warrant, unless it is issued for crimes that deserve preventive detention.

This comes shortly before the US OFAC sanctioned several Sinaloa Cartel operators and companies linked to fentanyl production and trafficking under Ovidio Guzman.

    1. 7:14 the best he could of done for him and his family would of been to never get involved in the first place, now that he got caught he is only option is to fall even lower to become a snitch, cause he is oviously not a man, he is more of a wanna be

    1. The US might add that charge after his extradition. That indictment has been against him for years and for the extradition request they have to show some proof of the charges so easier with what’s already established.

      Delete
    2. 8:21 I don't think they can, especially if the charges expose him to life imprisonment or the death penalty since the México USA extradition treaty specifically prohibits those punishments in order to approve extradition. Also keep in mind AMLOs stance...

      Delete
    3. 9:15 your such a nino.
      He is not getting the Death Penalty.

      Delete
    4. If they’re facing death penalty is only reason they won’t extradite. Which he’s not facing.

    5. Only street pushers get CP, all other’s an extended vacation.

    6. 9:15 well chapo got life so🤷🏽, the only thing you cant get is a Death penalty if you get extradited from Mexico but a life sentence is ok

      Delete
  8. So the govt still going with the narrative of 29 dead and 10 soldiers.

    ReplyDelete
  9. they will probably try to offer him a deal to give up the brothers

    1. 7:58 my same thaughts, are they not gonna really say the death toll? Maybe some infants got killed so they rather go with 29 and 10 soldiers than with the real numbers

      Delete
  10. He gonna try give up all info he has on El Mayo, if Mayo pushed to get him arrested then he'll get some pay back....

    ReplyDelete
  11. If he hasn’t ratted in Mexico he will surely rat once in the US..Mexico will settle for labs and Sicario busts but America wants the juice on corrupt officials.. they already got García Luna and want more big fish maybe even a president or 2

  17. Fuck Ovidio, the DoJ can have him. I claim dibs on the other two bastards (brothers) for the $10 million dollar bounty!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. If DOJ in DC is extraditing him, it's over for him. That's the Main Justice HQ and they have a whole division that prosecutes narcos, and have a ton of cooperating witnesses. They are the ones who lend out witnesses to these other offices like in Brooklyn in GGL. He better talk in DC or he is going to end up like Mochomo!
