In a stunning turn of events, U.S. authorities have apprehended El Mayo Zambada and El Chapo's son. The Sinaloa Cartel's top brass are now behind bars!
In a stunning turn of events, U.S. authorities have apprehended Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of the infamous Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán. The duo was detained soon after landing in El Paso, Texas, delivering a significant blow to the operations of the Sinaloa cartel, one of the world's most notorious drug trafficking organizations.
Attorney General Merrick B. Garland made a public statement regarding this high-profile arrest, emphasizing its importance in the ongoing fight against global drug trafficking. 'This is a significant day in our mission to dismantle the world's most violent and influential drug syndicates,' Garland stated. El Mayo, who co-founded the Sinaloa cartel alongside El Chapo, has long been a thorn in the side of law enforcement agencies and his capture marks a monumental victory for U.S. and Mexican authorities.
El Mayo Zambada has been a prominent figure in the drug trafficking world for decades. His collaboration with El Chapo created a powerful and ruthless cartel that has been responsible for an overwhelming amount of violence and corruption throughout Mexico and beyond. With El Chapo already serving a life sentence in the United States, El Mayo's arrest may signal a turning point in the efforts to curb the cartel's influence.
The Justice Department highlighted that the arrest was the result of extensive intelligence-gathering and international collaboration. Garland praised the tireless efforts of law enforcement officials on both sides of the border. 'Our collective work underscores the importance of international cooperation in combatting global crime,' Garland added.
