Former Sinaloa cartel leader Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman has started to hallucinate, suffer memory loss, and depression while in jail, his lawyer claimed.

“It is plain to the defense team that something is not right with Mr. Guzman,” defense attorney Eduardo Balarezo told a federal judge, NBC News reported. He said that Guzman should see a neuropsychologist for an examination.
