En chiffres
Mexican drug lord Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada was sentenced to life in prison by a federal court in New York, USA. Zambada, who pleaded guilty to leading the Sinaloa Cartel for decades and smuggling massive amounts of cocaine and fentanyl into the USA, was punished without the possibility of parole.
During the court process, 76-year-old Zambada took responsibility for his crimes and addressed the new generations to end the violence in Mexico. Judge Brian Cogan also ruled to seize Zambada's 15-billion-dollar fortune. This decision, similar to the sentence of his former partner Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, who is in prison, concluded one of the most critical legal battles against the Mexican drug trade.
Important details regarding the arrest process also emerged; Zambada claims he was deceived and put on a plane to be brought to the USA by El Chapo's son, Joaquin Guzman Lopez. This incident sparked a civil war in Mexico between the 'Chapitos' faction within the Sinaloa Cartel and Zambada's supporters, resulting in the deaths of more than 1,200 people.
