Top Sinaloa cartel leader taken into U.S. custody alongside son of ‘El Chapo’
Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada was fooled into boarding a U.S.-bound private plane with Joaquin Guzmán, El Chapo’s son, who was also detained, a DHS official said.
MEXICO CITY — A longtime senior leader of the Sinaloa cartel, Ismael Zambada Garcia, or “El Mayo,” and a son of famed drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán were taken into custody Thursday by U.S. authorities in Texas, according to senior Mexican and U.S. officials. It was a major blow to the Sinaloa federation, a global drug-trafficking syndicate considered the No. 1 supplier of fentanyl to the United States.
A Department of Homeland Security official with knowledge of the arrest said Zambada was fooled into boarding a private plane bound for the United States with the former drug lord’s son, also named Joaquin Guzmán. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the operation. The elder Guzmán and his son Ovidio are imprisoned in the United States.
The two men detained Thursday are among the U.S. government’s most wanted drug traffickers, and the State Department had offered $15 million for information leading to Zambada’s capture.
