In a dramatic and unexpected statement, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, the elusive leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, is claiming that his recent apprehension by U.S. authorities was not a voluntary surrender but the result of a betrayal by Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of the infamous Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán.
Zambada, a figure who had remained in the shadows of the drug trade for decades, alleges that he was kidnapped and forcibly brought to the United States in a covert operation that involved deception, violence, and treachery.
