How Deep Were US Agents In Mayo Kidnapping? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The kidnapping of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada on July 25, 2024, and his rendition to New Mexico, where he was handed into U.S. agents, is one of the craziest events in decades of crazy cartel wars in Mexico. It has huge implications, sparking a Sinaloa Cartel civil war, that has seen more than 3,800 murders, 4,400 kidnappings and 211 people shot dead by soldiers in the state in two years.Yet there is still much we need to learn about the incident, and especially the role of U.S. agents.
