American prosecutors want to seize up to $12.6 billion in money earned by notorious Mexican drug lord El Chapo

The U.S. Attorney's Office in Brooklyn asked a judge Friday to order Joaquin Guzman to forfeit that massive sum.

They called the amount a “conservative” estimate of the cash Guzman's Sinaloa Cartel earned distributing cocaine, heroin and marijuana in the United States. Prosecutors pointed to weeks of testimony from drug suppliers who described the lucrative narcotics enterprise during Guzman's trial. They said the laundered proceeds covered payroll and the purchase of planes, submarines and other vehicles.
