Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada appears in federal court | VOA News

Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, alleged cofounder of the Sinaloa Cartel, appeared in a U.S. federal court. VOA's Celia Mendoza has more on this story.

Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada had eluded authorities for decades and had never set foot in prison until a plane carrying him and Joaquin Guzman Lopez, a son of notorious drug kingpin “El Chapo,” landed at an airport in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, near El Paso, Texas, on Thursday. Both men, who face various U.S. drug charges, were arrested and remain jailed.

Frank Perez, Zambada’s attorney, said his client did not end up at the New Mexico airport of his own free will.
