For decades, U.S. authorities have been preparing to prosecute one of the world's most feared drug traffickers. They say they are seeking a life sentence and $14 billion in forfeited drug proceeds.

Two days after Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzmán was transferred to a prison near Juárez, Mexico, a city near the U.S. border, a federal judge in Mexico said the extradition process meets legal requirements.

Mexican marines swarmed Joaquin Guzmán's safe house in Los Mochis, but he managed to flee through a secret tunnel leading to the sewer system. Authorities caught him on a highway in a stolen car.
