Lopez Obrador said he expected a “complete report” from the United States on how the men were taken into custody. “There must be transparency,” he said. The Mexican defence ministry sent 200 members of the special forces to the cartel heartland on Friday to reinforce security. CNN, citing a US law enforcement official, said the US authorities exploited the “rift” in the cartel to capture Zambada.
Zambada Niebla testified against “El Chapo” at his 2019 trial and revealed details of the cartel’s smuggling operations, claiming his father had a “bribery budget” of US$1 million per month, much of it going to high-level Mexican public officials.
