Mexico’s government is reviewing a petition by Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, a longtime leader of the Sinaloa cartel who is jailed in the United States, to be returned to Mexico for trial, President Claudia Sheinbaum said Friday.
Sheinbaum noted that Mexico’s attorney general was already investigating the circumstances of how Zambada was arrested in the U.S. with another Sinaloa cartel leader by authorities near El Paso, Texas in July. He is awaiting trial.
