Report on the arrest of El Mayo Zambada: Request from Mexico
Mexico’s president requested a report on the arrest of El Mayo Zambada, as it appears that the Mexican government had nothing to do with the case.
The arrest or surrender of Ismael “El Mayo Zambada”, the co-founder of the Sinaloa cartel, made headlines.
In this regard, the president of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, requested a report on the arrest of El Mayo Zambada from the US government.
“They must deliver a full report” on the operation that led to the arrests of Ismael ‘El Mayo’ Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López.
So far, the United States has not released the report on the arrest of El Mayo Zambada.
“There has to be transparency,” López Obrador said on Friday during his usual daily press conference.

The president was asked if he would have liked Joe Biden or other US authorities to have communicated with his government before the operation, to which López Obrador simply replied “we have to wait and see if the arrests were carried out there or here.”
So far, the misinformation about the report on the arrest of El Mayo Zambada has been such that AMLO does not know if one or more of the cartel’s leaders turned themselves in, but he said the arrests show “an important advance in the battle against drug trafficking.
However, he said that the arrests are not “everything,” and added that the United States must do more “to solve the problem of drug consumption by addressing the causes.”
“It is an advance, without a doubt, but that is not everything, without taking away the merits of the operation (…) if consumption continues, the problem is not going to be completely solved,” he said.
