Mexico Requests Accurate Information from the U.S. on the Capture of 'El Mayo' Zambada
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
Mexico's Attorney General, Ernestina Godoy, announced on Wednesday that she has requested new information requirements from U.S. authorities regarding the 2024 arrest of drug lord Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada on U.S. soil, to investigate whether Washington violated Mexican sovereignty with an undercover operation in the country. 'We have requested (...) a series of information requirements for the government (of the United States) to provide information related to the events mentioned,' Godoy stated at a press conference. This announcement from the head of the Attorney General's Office (FGR) comes after President Claudia Sheinbaum once again questioned the U.S. version of 'El Mayo's' capture, following a news report that revived doubts about the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) involvement in the operation. The controversy intensified after it was revealed that U.S. authorities donated to a museum the plane in which the drug trafficker was forcibly taken and which later landed in the U.S. following a betrayal within the Sinaloa Cartel. To clarify this incident, the FGR sent a new request for international legal assistance to the U.S. Department of Justice to provide data regarding the possibility that FBI personnel participated in the 'planning, organization, capture, transfer, and cover-up.'
