Who Lied? Sheinbaum Questions FBI's Role in Capture of El Mayo Zambada
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum questioned the U.S. narrative regarding the capture of drug trafficker Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada on Tuesday, asking, 'Who lied?' This came after a report revived doubts about the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) involvement in the operation. Sheinbaum recalled that the then U.S. ambassador to Mexico, Ken Salazar, stated in 2024 that no U.S. agency participated in the operation, but noted that a recent report claims the FBI attributes the operation that led to Zambada's transfer to U.S. territory to its agency. The president stated that this contradiction prompted the Mexican government to request new information about the case, pointing out that 'it is not understood why this plane is presented as an operation of a U.S. agency' when the official U.S. version was different. 'Who is lying? Who lied? Did Ambassador Ken Salazar lie?' Sheinbaum said during her daily press conference.
