Washignton, DC – US agents arrested two top leaders of Mexico’s Sinaloa drug cartel in Texas on Thursday, the justice department said, striking a major blow to one of the most powerful and violent criminal organizations in the world.
The pair face “multiple charges in the United States for leading the Cartel’s criminal operations, including its deadly fentanyl manufacturing and trafficking networks,” he said. After El Chapo’s capture, several of his sons, collectively known as the “Chapitos” or “The Little Chapos,” inherited control of the organization, according to US authorities.
Details about the arrests have not been officially released, but US media said law enforcement sources described a dramatic sting operation in which El Mayo was unwittingly lured across the border. Zambada, who co-founded the cartel, is described by the InSight Crime think tank as “one of the most storied drug traffickers in Mexican history.”
