Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, is in a New York prison since last week, following his capture in late July and the pressing of 17 charges against him.
The drug lord pleaded not guilty to all of them, including "overseeing a multi-billion-dollar conspiracy to flood American communities with narcotics, including deadly fentanyl." And a former top DEA official said it's highly unlikely he will change his mind and cooperate with U.S. authorities.
