The lawsuit in the United States against the Mexican Joaquín & El Chapo & # 39; Guzmán, accused of leading one of the world's largest drug empires, will begin in November, two months later than expected, according to the judge in charge of the case on Monday.

The selection of jurors will begin on November 5, instead of September 5, as it was originally intended, Judge Brian Cogan decided after a request from the judge.

This is the second time Cogan has postponed the trial, which should have started in New York (East Coast) last April.

The defense requested this latest postponement 10 days ago, arguing that it was impossible to be ready to deal with the process before the thousands of new documents produced by the government's legal advisers.

Monday, Guzmán's lawyer, Eduardo Balarezo, expressed his dissatisfaction to consider that 60 days are not enough He said that his client was "very disappointed."
