After a run as one of the world’s most powerful and notorious criminals, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman is expected to be sentenced to life in prison when he appears in a New York courtroom on Wednesday.

Joaquin"El Chapo" Guzman is escorted by marines as he is presented to reporters in Mexico City soon after his arrest in February 2014

Last week, prosecutors asked US federal judge Brian Cogan to tack on a symbolic extra 30 years in prison for the use of firearms in his business, portraying Guzman as “ruthless and bloodthirsty.” At least one of Guzman’s victims – a woman who prosecutors say survived a hit ordered by the kingpin — will speak at Wednesday’s sentencing hearing.

Since his extradition from Mexico in 2017, Guzman has been held in solitary confinement at a high-security prison in Lower Manhattan.
