More than 120 tons of precursors and essential chemicals for the production of synthetic drugs such as methamphetamine are seized in Nuevo León and Sinaloa.
The products were destined for clandestine laboratories operated by the faction of the Sinaloa Cartel led by capo Ismael El Mayo Zambada, and his son Ismael Zambada Sicairos, alias Mayito Flaco, according to El Universal.
In a two-day joint operation with Cofepris and local authorities, elements of the Mexican Navy, the chemical precursors seized have a value of 87 million pesos.
In the federal security cabinet they detected that the Sinaloa Cartel moved part of the laboratories to Nuevo León to produce synthetic drugs.
