Mexico’s Public Security Minister Rosa Isela Rodriguez said Friday that she had asked the United States to clarify whether the leaders of the Sinaloa cartel had been captured or had decided to surrender to Texas authorities.
Isela Rodriguez clarified Friday that the Mexican government “had nothing to do” with the arrest of Israel “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquin Guzman, son of “boss of bosses” Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, in an operation in El Paso, Texas, despite indicating that the US Embassy in Mexico kept authorities informed about the incident.
“Yesterday [quinta-feira] At 3:30 p.m., a phone call came in from the U.S. Embassy in Mexico, saying both were in custody in El Paso. A second phone call at 3:45 p.m. confirmed the identities of the two men,” a security official said at a press conference.
