A Deal with the Devil: Confirmation That El Mayo's Arrest Was Orchestrated by Chapo’s Bloodline (11/8/24)

Beyond The Horizon

In a significant law enforcement operation on July 25, 2024, U.S. authorities arrested Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a co-founder and leader of Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel, along with Joaquín Guzmán López, son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. The arrests occurred in El Paso, Texas, following a meticulously planned operation involving the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI). Guzmán López, seeking a favorable plea deal and possibly to assist his brother Ovidio, who was extradited to the U.S. in 2023, cooperated with U.S. authorities. He lured Zambada onto a private plane under the pretense of inspecting real estate in Mexico. Upon landing in El Paso, both men were taken into custody without incident.
The arrests marked a pivotal moment in the ongoing efforts to dismantle the Sinaloa Cartel's leadership. Zambada, in his late 70s, had evaded capture for decades and was considered one of the most influential drug traffickers in history. His apprehension, facilitated by Guzmán López's cooperation, underscores the complex dynamics within the cartel's hierarchy and the strategic measures employed by U.S. law enforcement to combat transnational drug trafficking. This operation is expected to have significant implications for the cartel's structure and may lead to internal power struggles.
