The former head of the Sinaloa cartel remains in a maximum security jail in Manhattan, after his extradition from Mexico on January 19.

In an interview with television network Telemundo published on Wednesday, October 18, 2017, Balarezo said that he periodically visits El Chapo. He claims his client has physical problems due to enduring 23 hours a day incarceration. “I’ve noticed some things that have changed in him (Guzman), such as memory leak, hearing impairment, sometimes he repeats things over and over,” he said.
