The capture of SInaloa Cartel leader Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada has dominated the public conversation both in the U.S. and Mexico, not only due to the magnitude of the arrest, but also the murky and contradicting details of the event.
"El Mayo" has linked what he has described as his "kidnapping" with local politicians, something quickly rejected by them and the country's top officials, incoming and outgoing presidents Claudia Sheinbaum and Andrés Manuel López Obrador.
