# Mexico Investigates US Role in Drug Lord's Capture
Mexico has launched an investigation into whether the United States misrepresented its involvement in the 2024 capture and transfer of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García, a top member of the Sinaloa cartel. Reporting indicates the FBI may have been involved in the seizure of Zambada from Mexican territory, raising questions about what the US government disclosed about its role in the operation.
The investigation centers on whether the US provided accurate information to Mexican authorities regarding how the high-profile drug trafficker was apprehended and subsequently transferred. Such involvement would represent a potential violation of Mexican sovereignty if US agents operated on Mexican soil without proper authorization or disclosure.
Zambada García, one of the most significant targets in the drug trafficking world, was captured in 2024 in what had been presented as a Mexican government operation. The investigation now seeks to clarify the extent of US law enforcement participation and whether American officials were fully transparent about their involvement in the seizure.
