Sheinbaum asks Biden for all the information about the capture of drug trafficker Zambada in the US

The president of Mexico, Claudia Sheinbaum, asked her United States counterpart, Joe Biden, for all the information about the controversial capture of Mexican drug trafficker Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada this year, according to an interview given by the president to the media N+ and broadcast on Tuesday.

Zambada, head of the Sinaloa Cartel, was arrested in July in El Paso, Texas, where he arrived from Mexico in a small plane along with a son of the former leader of the criminal group, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, in an operation that the Mexican prosecutor’s office has been described as a “kidnapping”.

“I raised this issue with him that has been difficult in the relationship, asking him for all possible information, so that we could also evaluate ourselves,” Sheinbaum told N+, referring to a meeting he held on Monday with Biden on the sidelines of the G20 summit held. in Rio de Janeiro.

The president stated that the US president was receptive to the request. “Only I told him that it would be very important for Mexico to have all the information,” he added.

Zambada’s arrest caused shock in Mexico because it was the product of an operation within the country without the intervention of local security forces and has led to violent armed clashes between factions of the Sinaloa Cartel in that state in the northwest of the country.
