Arrest of "El Mayo" Zambada: A Major Blow to the Sinaloa Cartel
Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García, the legendary leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has been arrested, marking a significant blow to one of the world's most powerful drug trafficking organizations.
The 76-year-old drug lord, who co-founded the cartel, had long eluded capture by law enforcement. Known as "El Mayo" (the general), Zambada was considered one of the last major leaders of the cartel, which has been weakened in recent years by the arrest and extradition of its former leader, Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
Zambada's arrest took place on Thursday in El Paso, Texas, and was the result of a joint operation between Mexican and U.S. authorities. His son, Ismael Zambada Imperial, known as "El Mayito Flaco," was also arrested.
The arrest of "El Mayo" Zambada sends a strong message that even the most powerful drug lords are not above the law. It is a significant victory for law enforcement and a step towards dismantling the Sinaloa Cartel, which has been responsible for trafficking large amounts of drugs into the United States and other countries.
