Mexican authorities have raised suspicions about potential U.S. government involvement in the alleged kidnapping and subsequent arrest of a prominent drug lord.
According to a report by Breitbart, Mexico's Attorney General's Office is conducting a federal investigation into the kidnapping and treason surrounding the arrest of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a top leader of the Sinaloa Cartel.
The Mexican officials claim that the sequence of events leading to Zambada's arrest began with the release of Ovidio "El Raton" Guzman from a U.S. prison two days prior.
Ovidio is the son of the infamous Sinaloa Cartel kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. The Attorney General's Office states that Ovidio's current whereabouts are unknown, adding another layer of complexity to the case.
Two days after Ovidio's release, his brother Joaquin Guzman Lopez is believed to have kidnapped El Mayo during a meeting.
The kidnappers reportedly transported Zambada via a small plane to a private airport near El Paso, where U.S. federal agents arrested both individuals.
This incident has caused significant turmoil within the Mexican government, prompting the launch of a kidnapping and treason investigation against the younger Guzman and potential accomplices.
Mexico's President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador has been vocal about his government's non-involvement in the operation. He has suggested that U.S. officials may have been interfering with Mexican affairs, further straining diplomatic relations between the two countries.
As part of their ongoing investigation, Mexican authorities have made multiple requests to the U.S. government for information regarding the identity of the pilot and details about the airplane used in the alleged kidnapping.
These requests, however, have gone unanswered, further fueling suspicions of potential U.S. involvement or knowledge of the incident.
The lack of response from U.S. officials has led to increased speculation and tension between the two countries. Mexican investigators are eager to piece together the events surrounding Zambada's arrest and determine if there was any cross-border cooperation or interference in the operation.
This case highlights the complex nature of drug cartel operations and the challenges faced by both Mexican and U.S. law enforcement agencies in combating transnational criminal organizations.
The case of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada's alleged kidnapping and arrest has raised significant questions about potential U.S. involvement in Mexican affairs. Mexican authorities are actively investigating the incident, focusing on the roles of Ovidio and Joaquin Guzman Lopez.
The U.S. government's silence on requests for information has further complicated the situation. As the investigation continues, it may have lasting implications for U.S.-Mexico relations and joint efforts to combat drug cartels.
