Friday’s arrests of Mexican drug lord Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada – leader of the infamous Sinaloa Cartel – and Joaquin Guzmán López – aka the son of jailed co-founder Joaquin ‘El Chapo’ Guzman Loera – resulted from an act of betrayal. As the dust settles on the epic arrests, reports yesterday say there was a power struggle between the pair that saw Guzmán López tricked into boarding a flight to Texas where US federal agents were waiting. Why the 38yo duped the 76yo and also delivered himself into custody is still TBC, but it’s a big win for the Justice Department as the cartel is considered one of the most violent and powerful drug trafficking organisations in the world. One person who wasn’t impressed is Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador – he says he wasn’t kept in the loop by the Americans. Both suspects will face court later this week.
