Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman has been sentenced to life behind bars in a U.S. prison. A federal judge in Brooklyn handed down the sentence Wednesday, five months after Guzman's conviction in an epic drug-trafficking case.

The 62-year-old drug lord, who had been protected in Mexico by an elaborate corruption operation, was brought to the U.S. to stand trial after he twice escaped from Mexican prisons. Guzman has complained about the conditions of his confinement and told the judge he was denied a fair trial. 

The harsh sentence was pre-ordained. The guilty verdict in February at Guzman's 11-week trial triggered a mandatory sentence of life without parole.
