The two sons of notorious drug kingpin El Chapo are currently in plea negotiations regarding severe drug-trafficking charges in the U.S.
During a recent court appearance, neither Ovidio Guzmán López nor Joaquin Guzmán López attended the brief session.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Erskine stated more time is needed to explore a potential global resolution in the case.
The brothers are identified as leaders of a faction within the Sinaloa cartel, facing investigations linked to the significant export of fentanyl to the U.S.
Ovidio is scheduled for court on February 27, while Joaquin's next appearance is set for March 19.
