The government will request that assets seized from drug traffickers or Mexican politicians detained in the US be handed over to Mexico.

The Mexican government, led by President Claudia Sheinbaum, has announced it will officially request that assets confiscated in the United States from Mexican drug traffickers and detained politicians be returned to Mexico. This initiative includes efforts to recover assets from notable figures such as Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada following legal proceedings in the United States.

The demand applies broadly to property seized from narcos and politically connected individuals facing legal action abroad, provided that the legal procedures allow for such a transfer. The move highlights the administration's ongoing focus on asset recovery and the repatriation of resources tied to transnational crime and corruption back to Mexico.
