Guzman, who recently grew a mustache, complained about the terms of his confinement before his sentence was handed down.He alleged that the jurors on his case allowed media accounts of the trial to influence their thinking - an argument his lawyers have also made.
Before he was finally captured in 2016, Guzman twice escaped maximum-security prisons in Mexico. He was extradited to the United States to face trial in January 2017. His 11-week trial, which featured testimony from more than a dozen former associates of Guzman who had made deals to cooperate with prosecutors, offered the public an unprecedented look at the cartel's inner workings.Andrea Velez, a former associate of Guzman, said Guzman had paid the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang $1m to have her killed, and that she had escaped with the help of US authorities.
The witnesses, who included some of Guzman's top lieutenants, a communications engineer and a onetime mistress, described how he built a sophisticated organisation reminiscent of a multinational corporation.
