The New York Post offers a
piece on the beginning of the trial of “El Chapo” Guzman.
Opening statements finally
began Tuesday in the trial for Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman
— with prosecutors describing some of the notorious accused drug lord’s most
heinous acts for jurors, along with his weapons of choice.
“Some of his favorites include a
diamond-encrusted handgun with his initials on it and a gold-plated AK-47,”
said federal prosecutor Adam Fels.
He recounted how Guzman allegedly
ordered hits on his own loved ones and used a small private army — consisting
of hundreds of men “armed with assault rifles” — to take out his rivals.
“He ordered his hit men to
locate, kidnap, torture, interrogate, shoot and kill those rivals,” Fels said.
“Not even Guzman’s own family members were immune.”
