The arrest of two major Sinaloa cartel leaders on US soil has left the public in suspense. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the capture of Ismael Zambada Garcia and Joaquin Guzman Lopez, known for their ties to Mexico’s most powerful criminal organization, have raised many questions. While Mexican officials remain uncertain about the details of the arrest, President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has called for transparency in the handling of the case. The surreptitious collaboration between US authorities and Guzman Lopez leading up to the arrest adds an intriguing twist to the ongoing saga.
Despite his discreet nature, “El Mayo” Zambada’s surrender has been theorized by experts in the field, given his 60-year-long criminal career. In contrast to the flamboyant lifestyle of “El Chapo,” Zambada has preferred a low-key existence in the mountains of Sinaloa. This recent development marks a significant chapter in the battle against drug trafficking, signaling potential shifts in the dynamics of cartel operations.
