El Chapo not stand confinement in Mexico and calls to negotiate with the United States.

The narco has asked his lawyers to expedite the process to initiate extradition.

El Chapo Guzman has asked his lawyers to expedite the process to initiate extradition to the United States. The straitjacket that the Government has put Joaquin Guzman bothers you. The elusive leader of the Sinaloa cartel says suffer a sudden attack of claustrophobia. His lawyer, Jose Refugio, says he has asked to negotiate a pact with the US: "It is possible to reach an agreement there. It would seek to negotiate was minimal and it was not locked in a maximum security prison. "

Accustomed to life in the bush, surrounded by chickens and cows, or comfortable homes like the one they caught him last time, with cable TV and Chinese food at home, jail Altiplano is a shady place for El Chapo. One of his lawyers, Jose Refugio, describes the phone as a restless and feverish prisoner, "dejected" that will not bear enclosure. In a desperate act, he says he has asked to negotiate a pact with the United States, a place where, a priori, does not want to set foot any drug trafficker. The extradition process, nevertheless, needs the approval of the Mexican government.

Refugio can not exercise in the neighboring country, so he says be looking for a colleague who can deal with the case on the other side of the border. The process, he says, will begin next week. On the Sinaloa cartel leader extradition they weigh two orders, one from a Southern California court and another court in West Texas. Seek for murder, drug crimes, arms trafficking and criminal association, enough so that he could be sentenced to life imprisonment in the case that the jury found him guilty. However, the lawyer believes that cooperating with justice ( "if it were actually responsible for these crimes," qualifies) in return you might get some benefits, like not being held in a Supermax, inflexible high security prisons in the US, and have a specific release date, however distant it.

If follow this path, the Chapo undertake a similar Osiel Cardenas, the leader of the Gulf cartel who was sentenced in Houston to 25 years in prison, in an almost secret trial in 2010. The capo who created the Zetas process the group of elite soldiers deserters after sow terror in Mexico, he faced charges of money laundering, drug trafficking and threats to federal agents. According to his prison record, the man who was nicknamed the Mata-friends for murdering his closest associate, will open in 2025.
