Drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman Loera has a dream team of defense attorneys ready to represent him in his criminal case, but they want assurances the government won’t pursue forfeiture of their attorney fees before they appear.
Guzman, the head of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel, is charged with 17 counts, which include running a criminal enterprise from the late 1980s to 2014, conspiring to import and distribute cocaine in the United States, using firearms as part of a drug-trafficking operation and conspiring to launder money.
