Sentence of Ovidio Guzmán
In an interview with Infobae, Mike Vigil, former DEA agent, pointed out that it is very possible that Ovidio Guzmán is sentenced to life imprisonment for all the charges he faces in the states of Illinois, Columbia and especially in New York.
“It is possible (that he will be sentenced to life imprisonment) because he is accused in New York and they have the best prosecutors there. They handle very complex conspiracy cases like this, so it will make it very difficult for Ovidio to escape justice,” explained the former DEA agent.
With 30 years of experience, former agent Vigil assured that the extradition of “El Ratón” would not have a major impact within the Sinaloa Cartel and they would be operating normally.
