Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán Loera sent his eleventh letter to the Federal Court for the Eastern District of New York requesting that his case be reviewed and asking to be transferred back to Mexico.
The new letter, dated May 26, was filed under the legal status of “Pro Se,” a mechanism through which a person represents himself before the Court. In the document, Guzmán Loera once again identifies himself by the nickname “El Chapo,” the same name he used to sign his previous filings.
The letter is addressed to Judge Brian Cogan, who presided over the criminal proceedings against him. In this new handwritten document, the former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel requests a release related to his extradition and argues that, in his view, he meets the criteria to seek a new trial under U.S. federal policy.
