BREAKING: Mexican drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman was sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years and was ordered to pay $12.6 billion in forfeiture in what is likely the last time he's seen in public before he goes to Colorado's Supermax prison.

Mexican drug lord Joaquin"El Chapo" Guzman was sentenced to life in prison plus 30 years and was ordered to pay $12.6 billion in forfeiture on Wednesday in what is likely the last time he's seen in public before he goes to Colorado's Supermax prison.Guzman, 62, was convicted in February of all 10 counts he faced, including engaging in a continuing criminal enterprise, which carries a mandatory term of life in prison, as well as drug trafficking charges.

But if the appeal is not successful,"then this will be the last time the public will see El Chapo," Colon told CNN."It could be potentially also the last time El Chapo could see his wife." Guzman, who has been in isolation for two-and-a-half years, is expected to serve out his sentence in the nation's most secure federal prison in Florence, Colorado.

"What we've really been discussing more is the appeal," Colon said."We really need to discuss as much as possible now because we won't get to visit him regularly like now for the appeal." He was recaptured in 2014, but former associate Damaso Lopez testified during Guzman's trial that he, Guzman's wife and other family stayed in touch with Guzman while he was held in prison in the Mexican city of Altiplano. Lopez testified that Guzman asked for a tunnel to be built directly into Guzman's cell.
