'El Chapo' to be extradited to US in 2017
Mexican drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán will be extradited to the United States in early 2017, Mexican security officials said on Friday. However, El Chapo's lawyers claimed that too many appeals were pending for extradition to take place so quickly. El Chapo was recaptured in January after he escaped from a maximum security prison through a tunnel.
