“The Justice Department has taken into custody two additional alleged leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel, one of the most violent and powerful drug trafficking organizations in the world. Ismael Zambada Garcia, or “El Mayo,” cofounder of the Cartel, and Joaquin Guzman Lopez, a son of its other cofounder, were arrested today in El Paso, Texas.
Both men are facing multiple charges in the United States for leading the Cartel’s criminal operations, including its deadly fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking networks.
“Hearing from sources a Texas based group of attorneys helped break a deal between El Mayo and US authorities. The same offer was handed to the rest of Los Chapitos and Mayito Flaco at the same meeting a few weeks ago. Only El Mayo and Joaquín Guzmán agreed.”
