The United States managed to arrest the most wanted Mexican drug trafficker in July, but the Attorney General's Office in the neighboring country (and the Mexican president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador) now says that it is considering filing judicial charges for treason against those who accused him. they delivered.
It is part of the long and strange trail of the leader of the Sinaloa cartel, Ismael El Mayo Zambada, who appeared unexpectedly in July on a private plane that landed near El Paso (Texas) on a flight organized by another highly wanted boss who decided to turn himself in.
U.S. authorities say Joaquín Guzmán López — son of jailed former cartel leader Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán — flew to the United States to surrender, but kidnapped Zambada before leaving Mexico and forced him onto the plane.
But instead of thanking the United States for the capture of Zambada—whose cartel has been sowing death, violence and terror in Mexico for decades—the Mexican Prosecutor's Office is studying the possibility of filing treason charges against Guzmán or anyone involved in the alleged plot to bring Zambada to the US.
