One of the biggest cartel busts in recent memory began with an act of betrayal

Category: Crime

Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, co-founder of the Sinaloa cartel, was arrested after being allegedly betrayed by Joaquín Guzmán López, son of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán. Zambada was reportedly kidnapped and taken to the U.S. under false pretenses. Both Zambada and Guzmán López face serious charges related to drug trafficking, including fentanyl operations. The arrests mark a significant moment in the ongoing battle against drug cartels, although experts express skepticism about the long-term impact on drug trafficking dynamics.
