Life imprisonment is a great deal and now, after two long years of trials and time in jail, El Chapo has finally been sentenced.
He is now going to be in jail for 30 years.
In the dramatic hearing held at the court in Brooklyn, he finally broke his silence for the first time as he was being sentenced.
He entered the court, looked at his wife and gave her a flying kiss then thanked her and his legal team for being there and fighting for him.
The 62 years old then spoke for the first time, breaking his silence as his case has been going on for over 2 years now.
He had to take help from a translator to explain his words to the court.
With the help of the translator, he said that he had been tortured for literally 24 hours a day inside his cell of Manhattan Metropolitan Correctional Center where he had been since January of 2017.
He added more to his words by saying that he was denied a fair chance of fighting the case. This is why according to him, America is no better than any other country that is sunk in the water of corruption.
In his time inside the jail, he has regrown his mustache.
According to the reports, El Chapo’s mother wanted to be present at the hearing but she was not granted a humanitarian visa for the same.
The only people present for the hearing were his wife Emma Coronel Aispuro, Rosa Isela, his oldest daughter who holds American citizenship and his niece Dania.
One of the most important complaints he made was that he was not allowed to contact his wife since he had been in jail.
