U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced the guilty plea of Sinaloa Cartel co-founder Ismael “El Mayo“ Zambada Garcia during a press conference in New York City. The 77-year-old “El Mayo“ co-founded the Sinaloa Cartel alongside Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Zambada Garcia continued to evade capture and allegedly continued to run the Sinaloa Cartel from Mexico, according to a press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York in February. According to the superseding indictment, Zambada Garcia, from 1999-2024, led a continuing enterprise responsible for the importation and distribution of massive quantities of narcotics, which generated billions of dollars in profits. Zambada was arrested in Texas last year after what he has described as a kidnapping in Mexico. “Garcia and Guzman have allegedly overseen the trafficking of tens of thousands of pounds of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and fentanyl into the U.S. along with related violence. These arrests are an example of the FBI's and our partners' commitment to dismantling violent transnational criminal organizations like the Sinaloa Cartel.“ Subscribe to LiveNOW from FOX!
