The trial of accused Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman will begin with lawyers' opening statements in a federal court in Brooklyn on Tuesday, amid intense public attention and extraordinary security measures.
Federal prosecutors say that as leader of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, 61-year-old Guzman directed massive shipments of heroin, cocaine, cannabis and methamphetamine bound for the United States. He faces 17 criminal counts and a potential life sentence if convicted.
