Ismail 'El Mayo' Zambada is one of the most famous names in the history of the drug war, which resembles the terrible power and evil influence of the most important drug companies in the world. 

 As the last member of the first generation of drug lords, he joined the Sinaloa Cartel and Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman from what was left after the collapse of the Guadalajara Cartel in 1989. El Mayo managed to evade capture for 35 years. Until now. 

 US authorities arrested Thursday in El Paso, Texas. He previously pleaded not guilty to several charges in federal court in Texas.

He was brought to the United States in a criminal activity organized by the son of his former friend, El Chapo. Joaquin Guzman Lopez, one of the heirs to the El Chapo mission, was arrested, along with Zambada, making him believe that he was going to northern Mexico to see the houses that were expected to be built. at a private airport. 

 - Are you worried about catching him? Zambada was interviewed in 2010 by the late Mexican journalist Julio Scherer García, who traveled to the mountains to conduct an unprecedented interview with the drug lord. 

 "I dread the thought of being caught," he replied. “I don't know if I am killing myself. I would like to think of doing it and do it myself." 

 However, when it comes to it, he has no chance or opportunity. Zambada da 76 betrayed him, it may take time, until they shut down . "I wouldn't be surprised if Zambada didn't like it," said former DEA agent Mike Vigil, who is in his 70s. the center of El Chapo's children, known as Los Chapitos, and the US government - raises the question of who will control the Sinaloa Cartel. 

 After El Chapo Guzman was captured and extradited to the United States in 2016, a series of bloodshed began as rival gangs battled for control of the land, influenced by anti-drug gangs. of weakness. 

 Even more shocking and violent was the reaction of the foot soldiers of the Sinaloa Cartel when their leader, Ovidio Guzman Lopez was arrested in October 2019. 

 After his arrest, hundreds of soldiers descended on The city of Culiacan opened fire. . key. civilians, police and military targets with .50 caliber rifles and rocket launchers. Eventually, the authorities returned Ovidio Guzman to his people to end the war. 

  was later arrested, deported and is currently in a US prison awaiting trial.

Mike Vigil believes that the violent eruption known as Culiacanazo should be avoided this time: "The Sinaloa Cartel has a strong seat that the leaders can take over, including El Chapo's brother," he said. . In fact, Mr. Vigil argued, the "king's plan" - which focuses on bringing down union leaders - is rarely successful. "From the point of view of (Mexican President Felipe) Calderon's administration, it seems to create an internal conflict between the cartels, which led to bloodshed." If that happens this time, suggests former DEA agent Mike Vigil, "the only winner will be their enemy, the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG)." However, the times of change and opportunities to work like these are incalculable. Mexican authorities had already sent more troops to the state of Sinaloa before the violence began. Another obvious question about the arrest of Zambada: what happened now? The work is planned for the month. However, according to some reports, there is an element of chance. When the various factors behind the fraud seemed to be coming together, despite the doubts of the American authorities, they finally decided that they had nothing to lose by trying. However, the main reason for the time was revealed in the speech of the US Attorney General Merrick Garland in a video message supporting the arrest: The Department of Justice "will not rest until they cause the poisoning of all our leaders, Our members and partners are accountable." Fentanyl overdose is the leading cause of death among Americans aged 18 to 45. That's a shocking number, and one that may be on the minds of the Biden administration, especially in an election year. Both Los Chapitos and El Mayo have made billions from fentanyl, which is easy to produce and transport without the need for large coca farms in the Andes like cocaine production. According to experts, it is impossible to completely stop the fentanyl trade. It is more useful for the cartels and is integrated into the modern sphere of the Mexican drug war. However, American law enforcement wants to harm the producers, reduce their influence, and destroy their government wherever possible. Acquiring El Mayo Zambada—even if he is old, in poor health, and more than twice as old—will continue to be an important part of this plan.
