Son of 'El Chapo' to change not guilty plea in Chicago drug trafficking case, court documents say

CHICAGO -- Mexican drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán's son will change his plea Monday in a drug trafficking case, according to court documents.

Joaquín Guzmán López originally pleaded not guilty. He's due in court at 1:30 p.m. Monday in Chicago.

Federal prosecutors now previously said they will not seek the death penalty for Guzmán López.

"El Chapo" is already serving a life sentence.

His other son, Ovidio Guzmán López, pleaded guilty to drug trafficking charges in Chicago in July.



He also initially pleaded not guilty.
