United States authorities have identified Ismael Zambada Sicairos, known as 'El Mayito Flaco,' as a current leader of the Los Mayos faction within the Sinaloa Cartel. Born in Anaheim, California, in 1982, Zambada Sicairos reportedly attempted to legally change his name in 2001 in an effort to obscure his connections to the criminal organization. He is the son of the cartel's long-time leader.
In a related enforcement action, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has imposed sanctions on nearly 50 individuals and entities linked to the Sinaloa Cartel. These measures, announced on Tuesday, target a broad network of associates and businesses connected to the group, reinforcing ongoing efforts to disrupt the cartel's operations and leadership structure.
