The Department of Justice (DOJ) celebrated on Friday the appearance of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada before a court in New York City, saying that his "day of reckoning" has arrived and that "justice will follow."
In a press release that included the quotes of several officials, including U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, the DOJ detailed the 17 charges the drug lord is facing, including "overseeing a multi-billion-dollar conspiracy to flood American communities with narcotics, including deadly fentanyl."
