Mexico approves extradition of drug boss Guzman to US
None
MEXICO CITY- Mexico has approved the extradition of drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman to the United States and has received guarantees the death penalty will not be sought against him, the foreign ministry said on Friday.
Under Mexican law, Guzman can appeal the decision, possibly delaying the process for weeks or months.
Juan Pablo Badillo, one of Guzman's lawyers, told Reuters he would file "many" legal challenges in the coming days.
