Zambada is one of the most consequential traffickers in Mexico’s history and co-founded the Sinaloa Cartel with El Chapo, who was extradited to the US in 2017.
Mexican drug lord Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and the son of his former partner, Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, have been arrested in El Paso, Texas the US Justice Department said.
Two US officials told Reuters that Zambada and Guzman Lopez were detained after landing in a private plane. After El Chapo’s extradition, his criminal empire was inherited by four of his sons - known as Los Chapitos, or Little Chapos -- who took over his faction of the cartel and became some of the biggest exporters of fentanyl to the United States.
