Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman, alias “El Chapo,” has been found guilty by a New York jury.

He was on Tuesday found guilty after a three-month drug trafficking trial and six days of deliberation.

The verdict could result in life behind bars for the 61-year-old former head of the Sinaloa cartel, who was accused of smuggling 155 tons of cocaine and other drugs into the United States over a 25-year-period.
