“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Video translation is as follows:
This weekend, more than 130 tons of chemical percusores used to manufacture illegal fentanyl were seized in Culiacán. The drugs belonged to the Mayo Zambada cartel. This has a lot to do with what Jorge had mentioned about the confrontation within the Sinaloa Cartel itself in the state of Sinaloa.
These are warehouses used by Ismael El Mayo Zambada, leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, to store chemical precursors. At the end of March, the warehouse complex located in Culiacán was seized by elements of the Sedena and the national guard.
There they located 130 tons of chemical percusores used to make 10 tons of fentanyl and methamphetamine. They were found inside drums in the warehouse that was guarded and monitored by criminals with the help of local authorities. Coincidentally there were no arrests.
Unofficially, it was revealed that Mayo Zambada is offering a large sum of money in exchange for the shipment being returned. The Sinaloa Cartel is the group that sends the largest shipment of fentanyl to the United States, both the Mayo and Los Chapitos factions.
This drug caused the deaths of more than one hundred thousand people in one year in the American Union. Therefore, the cartel is one of the priority objectives for the security agencies of the neighboring country.
This rupture in the Sinaloa Cartel between the mobs of El Mayo and Los Chapitos is increasingly noticeable and steadily reflected in different parts of the country. For now, this blow that the Mexican army and other institutions gave against Mayo Zambada is a very hard blow. This was a severe hit against that organization, against the perpetrators for the production of fentanyl, which was once said wasn’t being produced here.
