Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a powerful leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, has claimed in a recent letter that he was ambushed, kidnapped, and forcibly brought to the United States against his will. According to Zambada, the incident occurred when he was lured under the pretext of a meeting with political figures, including Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya. Instead of the anticipated meeting, Zambada was allegedly attacked, hooded, and handcuffed by men in military uniforms led by Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of "El Chapo."
Zambada's letter describes how he was forced onto a private plane and flown to the U.S., where he was handed over to federal authorities. The U.S. Ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, confirmed that Zambada's extradition was not voluntary and suggested that the operation involved cooperation between rival cartel factions, possibly indicating betrayal within the Sinaloa Cartel. This event has raised concerns about further violence and power struggles within the cartel.
Zambada's case has attracted significant attention, highlighting the complex relationships between Mexican cartels and local political figures, as well as the ongoing struggles between different factions within the cartel.
