Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán Loera is a Mexican former drug lord who headed the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the world's most powerful drug trafficking organizations. Known for his daring escapes from maximum-security prisons in Mexico, he cultivated a Robin Hood image in his hometown while amassing immense wealth and power through the production, smuggling, and distribution of illegal drugs. After decades on the run, he was finally extradited to the United States in 2017 and subsequently convicted on multiple drug-related charges. He is currently serving a life sentence in a high-security prison in Colorado.
