Libro ‘Pueblo’ de AMLO: expresidente acusa a EEUU de pactar con “Los Chapitos” la captura de “El Mayo” Zambada

In his new book titled 'Pueblo,' former Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador alleges that the United States government reached a clandestine agreement with the sons of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, known as “Los Chapitos,” to facilitate the capture and transfer of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada to U.S. soil. López Obrador characterizes the operation as a unilateral action coordinated between the U.S. and the cartel faction.

The former president’s claims highlight ongoing tensions regarding sovereignty and security cooperation between Mexico and the United States. By framing the arrest of the high-profile drug lord as a deal between foreign authorities and criminal elements, the narrative challenges the official accounts of the operation and underscores the complex geopolitical dynamics surrounding cross-border law enforcement efforts.
