As Sinaloa Cartel co-founder Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada continues facing legal proceedings in the United States, former drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán is reportedly cooperating with U.S. authorities by providing key information against his longtime associate.
Zambada is facing 17 charges in New York, including drug trafficking, conspiracy to commit murder and money laundering. Prosecutors allege he played a central role in trafficking fentanyl into the United States, contributing to a surge in overdose deaths.
