How Mexico drug lord 'El Mayo' was caught by US agents | BBC News

Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada has appeared in a US court after being 'tricked' by US federal agents into entering the US.

The 76-year-old is the leader of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, and is considered to be one of the world's biggest drug lords.

But how was he tricked into getting caught now, after evading top law enforcement agencies in the world for years?

Cartels are like corporations.
When one leaves another takes its place

El Mayo pleading not guilty is hilarious

El Mayo, the month of May.

⁠it’s not about free treatment. He’s sick probably doesn’t have a lot of time left. If you read the court transcript from his hearing yesterday, he’s in a wheelchair and couldn’t stand for long. It’s about him cutting a deal to see his kids one last time. El mayo lived his life on the down low. He was family oriented and wasn’t flashy. There wasn’t a single picture for 10 years. He for sure turned himself in. And el chapos sin turned himself in to free or maybe lower his brothers sentence. Cartel organizations aren’t dumb. They make moves and cut deals with world leaders. There’s proof of that too.

AMERICA CAN YOU STOP USING DRUGS PLEASE PLEASE

[ProducedByAllah]

This guy will go down as one of the Kings of Kingpins, distributed as the head of Sinaloa for 35 plus years. Then miraculously gets "lured" into a trap during his health reclining years in such an easy manner. Don't be fooled folks, he paid billions in bribes to some of your most coveted law enforcement agencies and bureaucracy institutes in order to live this evasive lifestyle

😂😂 you are delusional if you think a reigning drug lord is stupid enough to get caught by getting tricked onto a plane.

[bernardthomas]

I live in America, and yet this network has better coverage of local news; wtf?!

[L_Train]

This better not affect my fentanyl prices.

[SootyHunt]

Blame the cartels and not the chinese manufacturers or CIA operations

[OregonWildmanAKAsasquatch]

End drug culture. Don't do drugs. Don't have problems

[IntricateUniverse]

There’s a reporter from Mexico who gave some insight, and he said a DEA official basically told him it was a deal and he turned himself in. This guy has enough info for him to walk out a free man with a second identity. Hes old and his Son is already in the US as a protected informant. This guy just wants to retire.

[roboticusroboticus]

Because of Mexican officials would’ve told him not to get on that plane.
