☆ How the U.S. Captured One of Mexico’s Biggest Drug Lords
  + stars: | 2024-07-26 | by ( Alan Feuer | Natalie Kitroeff | Emiliano Rodríguez Mega | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
It sounded like a story ripped from a narco thriller: One of the biggest drug lords in Mexico was lured onto an airplane, flown across the border and presented to American federal agents by the son of his former partner in crime. As improbable as it may seem, that is exactly what appears to have happened on Thursday evening, when a Beechcraft King Air turboprop landed at a small municipal airport outside El Paso, and off stepped one of the most wanted men in Mexico: Ismael Zambada García, a founder of the notorious Sinaloa drug cartel. Mr. Zambada García, known as El Mayo, had for decades evaded capture by both Mexican and American officials, living a life of luxurious simplicity in the mountains of Sinaloa — despite the $15 million U.S. bounty on his head. But in the end, U.S. officials said, he was betrayed by an unlikely foe: a son of his closest criminal ally, Joaquín Guzmán Loera, the infamous drug lord known as El Chapo, who is now serving a life sentence in an American federal prison.

Sinaloa Cartel members want to get a jump on the potential legalization of marijuana in Mexico. The key to their new business, according to Sinaloa Cartel operatives who spoke with Insider, is marketing. Marijuana cigarettes inside a manufacturing house in Culiacán. The "godfather" said that the organization has at least 20 different manufacturing houses under different brands. Its logo has an astronaut eating a slice of pizza — the pizza is used by the Sinaloa Cartel to reference "La Chapisa," the people working for "El Chapo" and his sons.

Two operatives in the Sinaloa Cartel told Insider they're actually trying to do the opposite. But operatives in the Sinaloa Cartel, the Mexican criminal organization behind the biggest shipments of fentanyl to the US, told Insider their intention is actually the opposite. US authorities began their campaign several months before Halloween, warning of alleged attempts by Mexican drug cartels to entice kids into drugs by selling rainbow-colored fentanyl pills and adding fentanyl to Halloween candies. "Rainbow fentanyl — fentanyl pills and powder that come in a variety of bright colors, shapes, and sizes — is a deliberate effort by drug traffickers to drive addiction amongst kids and young adults," Milgram said. The Sinaloa Cartel operative denied that his organization is targeting kids or young adults in the US as their final users.
