It has huge implications, sparking a Sinaloa Cartel <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/ivans-catastrophic-war">civil war</a>, that has seen more than 3,800 murders, 4,400 kidnappings and 211 people shot dead by soldiers in the state in two years.</p><p>Yet there is still much we need to learn about the incident, and especially the role of U.S. agents. Joe Hefferon, a former New Jersey police captain, conducted an excellent investigation, which I discuss with him on this episode of the CrashOut podcast, and you can also <a href="https://joehefferon.substack.com/p/el-rendicion-sinaloa">read here.</a> He discovers fascinating info that point to a wider role of U.S. federal agents in what they have already said was called &#8220;Operation Air Kings.&#8221; The most important findings include - </p><ul><li><p>The tail number of <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/lawyer-jando-not-arrested-after-mayo">the Beechcraft King Air </a>that transported Mayo was cloned from a New Mexico company but also used in another plane in Brazil. This suggests use of the number in federal government operations. </p></li><li><p>A military plane landed in the Do&#241;a Ana County airfield shortly before the landing of Mayo.</p></li><li><p>Wording of a U.S. government message about &#8220;a highly complex, secretive, and daring arrest&#8221; suggests a much bigger role than simply arresting Mayo off the plane. </p></li></ul><p>You can watch the fascinating interview with Hefferon above on video, read the transcript, or listen to the pure audio below. </p><div class="native-audio-embed" data-component-name="AudioPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;label&quot;:null,&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;286461dc-84e5-4269-8bbd-756917f4a4a8&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:2299.742,&quot;downloadable&quot;:false,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><p>Also, on another September 11, a moment of remembrance for the victims of that horrific attack a quarter of a century ago. </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">CrashOut by Ioan Grillo is a reader-supported publication.

</a></p><p>Este es el cap&#237;tulo final de una serie de tres partes que presenta la vida de &#8220;El Chapito&#8221;, el hijo de El Chapo.</p><p>La primera parte, sobre la juventud de Iv&#225;n, <a

segunda parte</a>, sobre el ascenso de Iv&#225;n en el mundo del narco y de convertirse en un temido capo.</p><p><strong>Parte III</strong></p><p>A principios de junio de 2021, seg&#250;n fiscales estadounidenses, Iv&#225;n Archivaldo Guzm&#225;n, hijo de El Chapo, y su hermano Ovidio, se reunieron con el pol&#237;tico Rub&#233;n Rocha Moya para discutir las elecciones a gobernador de Sinaloa que se celebrar&#237;an el domingo siguiente. Los Chapitos, como se conoce a los hijos de El Chapo, ya apoyaban a Rocha en la campa&#241;a, seg&#250;n las acusaciones. Pero en la reuni&#243;n final, se sell&#243; un acuerdo personal en el que los capos asegurar&#237;an el voto y Rocha les devolver&#237;a el favor una vez que fuera elegido gobernador.</p><p>&#8220;En la reuni&#243;n, que cont&#243; con la protecci&#243;n de sicarios del C&#225;rtel armados con ametralladoras y otras armas, Iv&#225;n y Ovidio prometieron que los Chapitos garantizar&#237;an la victoria de ROCHA MOYA en las elecciones a gobernador&#8221;, reza la acusaci&#243;n. &#8220;A cambio, ROCHA MOYA prometi&#243; a los l&#237;deres de los Chapitos que, de ser elegido, se asegurar&#237;a de que funcionarios afines al narcotr&#225;fico de los Chapitos ocuparan puestos de autoridad&#8221;.</p><p>Efectivamente, el 6 de junio de 2021, Rocha gan&#243; con el 57 por ciento de los votos, seg&#250;n el recuento oficial, en medio de acusaciones de que hombres armados intimidaron a los votantes e incluso mantuvieron a punta de pistola a pol&#237;ticos de la oposici&#243;n durante horas. &#8220;Ya no era participar en una elecci&#243;n en una democracia para ganar o perder, sino para no perder la vida,&#8221; <a href="https://grupoanimal.mx/politica/eleccion-sinaloa-2021-violencia-miedo">dijo la legisladora estatal Paola Iveth G&#225;rate</a>.</p><p>El C&#225;rtel de Sinaloa lleva mucho tiempo sobornando a pol&#237;ticos. Pero, seg&#250;n se alega, durante el mandato de Rocha la relaci&#243;n se volvi&#243; m&#225;s extrema: el gobernador colabor&#243; &#8203;&#8203;estrechamente con una facci&#243;n espec&#237;fica del c&#225;rtel, y agentes de polic&#237;a entregaron a sus objetivos, entre ellos un informante estadounidense y su familia, a sus sicarios.</p><p>Con esta protecci&#243;n, Iv&#225;n estableci&#243; un control f&#233;rreo sobre Culiac&#225;n, la capital del estado, imponiendo &#8220;impuestos&#8221; a los distribuidores de cerveza, abriendo dispensarios de marihuana al estilo californiano y desplegando punteros armados por toda la ciudad. Durante su mandato, los asesinatos disminuyeron temporalmente, mientras que los Chapitos disfrutaban de una gran fortuna gracias al tr&#225;fico de drogas sint&#233;ticas.</p><p>Sin embargo, en 2024, el C&#225;rtel de Sinaloa estall&#243; en una brutal guerra civil cuando Iv&#225;n se enfrent&#243; al hijo de El Mayo junto a una alianza de narcos que se opon&#237;an a &#233;l. Iv&#225;n ya hab&#237;a sido subestimado antes, pero ahora parece que &#233;l mismo subestim&#243; a&#8230;</p><p><em><span>Lo sentimos, amigos, necesitan suscribirse para leer el resto de esta historia.

is the final chapter of a three part series profiling &#8220;El Chapito,&#8221; the son of El Chapo.</p><p>Part One, on the early life of Iv&#225;n, <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/el-chapito-ivan-archivaldo-fights">is here.</a>  </p><p>Part Two, on the narco graduation of Iv&#225;n into a feared kingpin, <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/the-narco-graduation-of-ivan">is here.</a> </p><p><strong>Part III</strong></p><p>In early June 2021, according to U.S. prosecutors, Iv&#225;n Archivaldo Guzm&#225;n, the son of El Chapo, and his half-brother Ovidio, met with the politician Rub&#233;n Rocha Moya to discuss the gubernatorial election in Sinaloa the following Sunday. The Chapitos, as the sons of Chapo are known, had already been supporting Rocha in the campaign, according to the allegations. But in the final meeting, a personal deal was cemented in which the gangsters would secure the vote and Rocha would return the favor once he became governor. </p><p>&#8220;At the meeting, which was protected by Cartel <em>sicarios </em>armed with machineguns and other weapons, Ivan and Ovidio promised that the Chapitos would ensure that ROCHA MOYA won the gubernatorial election,&#8221; it says in the indictment. &#8220;In exchange, ROCHA MOYA promised the Chapitos Leaders that, if elected, he would ensure that officials friendly to the Chapitos&#8217; drug trafficking would be placed in positions of authority.&#8221;</p><p>Sure enough, on June 6, 2021, Rocha w<a href="https://www.elfinanciero.com.mx/elecciones-2021/2021/06/07/resultados-electorales-ruben-rocha-de-morena-se-lleva-gubernatura-de-sinaloa/">on with 57 percent</a> of the ballots, according to the official count, amid accusations that gunmen intimidated voters and even held opposition politicians at gunpoint for hours. &#8220;It wasn&#8217;t participating in an election, where you win or lose, but about not losing your life,&#8221; <a href="https://grupoanimal.mx/politica/eleccion-sinaloa-2021-violencia-miedo">said state lawmaker Paola Iveth G&#225;rate</a>.</p><p>The Sinaloa Cartel has long paid off politicians. But under Rocha, it&#8217;s alleged, the relationship got more extreme, with the governor working closely with a particular faction of the cartel, and police officers handing over their targets, including a U.S. informant and his family, to its gunmen. </p><p>With this protection, Iv&#225;n established a powerful grip on state capital Culiac&#225;n, &#8220;taxing&#8221; beer distributors, opening California style marijuana dispensaries and having armed <em>punteros </em>throughout the city. Under his reign, murders actually went down for a period while the Chapitos enjoyed vast wealth from trafficking synthetic drugs. </p><p>Yet in 2024, the Sinaloa Cartel exploded into brutal civil war as Iv&#225;n faced off the son of El Mayo alongside an alliance of gangsters pitted against him. Iv&#225;n had himself been underestimated before, but now it appears he underestimated&#8230; </p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read the rest of this story.

origen a la Mocro-Maffia en Holanda y B&#233;lgica, con ramificaciones en Espa&#241;a, Francia y otros pa&#237;ses. La mafia marroqu&#237; es un hueso duro de roer para los periodistas, pero para echar un vistazo a este imperio del contrabando, Niko Vorobyov, narco-responsal de CrashOut, consigui&#243; entrevistar a una mula marroqu&#237; (o transportista de hach&#237;s) que se infiltr&#243; en el mundo del crimen organizado y trafic&#243; con esta sustancia apestosa. Es una historia fascinante y de gran actualidad.</span></em></p><p><span>Por Niko Vorobyov</span></p><p><strong><span>I.</span></strong></p><p><span>Fadwa cuenta que se mantuvo alejada del crimen en su Marruecos natal hasta que denunci&#243; a la polic&#237;a a un pretendiente que traficaba con hach&#237;s, quien decidi&#243; acusarla de estar involucrada en el negocio. Tras compartir celda con asesinos y aprender a defenderse, sali&#243; de la c&#225;rcel marginada y termin&#243; cas&#225;ndose con el narco y traficando con su </span>hach&#237;s. <span>El amor es impredecible. Y el narcotr&#225;fico tambi&#233;n. La historia de Fadwa ofrece una perspectiva &#250;nica de las rutas del narco marroqu&#237;, desde las monta&#241;as del Rif, ricas en hach&#237;s, hasta los caf&#233;s de

Holland and Belgium, with offshoots in Spain, France and beyond. The Moroccan Mafia are a hard nut for journalists to crack but to get a glimpse into this smuggling empire, CrashOut&#8217;s narco-respondent Niko Vorobyov landed an interview with a female Moroccan mule (or hash transporter) who got in with the bad crowd and moved the smelly stuff. It&#8217;s a fascinating and timely tale.</em></p><p>By Niko Vorobyov</p><p><strong>I.</strong></p><p>Fadwa says she kept away from crime in her native Morocco until she told the police about a hash-trafficking suitor, and he decided to claim she was in on the deal. After sharing a cell with murderers, and learning to use her fists, she walked out of jail as an outcast, and ended up marrying the hash trafficker and moving his dope. Love works in mysterious ways. And so does the drug trade. Fadwa&#8217;s story here gives a unique glimpse into the Moroccan narco paths from the hash-rich Rif mountains to Amsterdam coffee shops.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a

But details of his final capture in the city of Los Mochis in January, 2016, were especially nuts. When Mexican marines stormed his safe house, Chapo and his head of security Cholo Iv&#225;n escaped down a drainage tunnel, only to flee flooding through a manhole wearing vests and steal a car. In a twist of fate, Chapo was then stopped by two lowly federal police patrolmen who stashed him in a roadside motel terrified of Sinaloa Cartel gunmen before they could hand him to the marines. </p><p>Journalist H&#233;ctor de Maule&#243;n dug up details of this incredible tale, which he compares to the Glenn Ford Western <em>3:10 to Yuma, </em>in a series of stories (or <em>cronicas</em>). A decade later, it has come out as Netflix movie called <em>La Captura</em>, or in English, <em>Facing El Chapo</em>, which is action packed and uses a certain artistic license while also providing a real window to the terror of the Mexican Cartel Wars. </p><p>In contrast to most narco movies and series, <em>Captura</em> centers on the police officers, who it portrays as heroes turning down million dollar bribes and risking their lives to do the right thing. I have <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/is-it-cool-to-enjoy-narco-culture">long commented</a> on how Mexico struggles to have cop heroes, while narcos are glorified, and I wonder if they have finally found some. I also wonder if this reflects a bigger shift in the culture as people here are fed up of crime while there is huge support for Security Secretary Omar Garc&#237;a Harfuch cracking down. Or is there more to this story of why these police handed in Chapo and the politics of his arrest? </p><p>In this episode of CrashOut Podcast, I talk to De Maule&#243;n about these issues and how the mighty Chapo could end up in a vest on the street with one bodyguard having to jack a car. The veteran journalist gets into fine details about the incident and about what happened to the police officers <em>after</em> they busted the most wanted narco on the planet. </p><p>NOTE - To see the English subtitles on the podcast during the Spanish section, turn off Substack&#8217;s auto-generated subtitles.  </p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">CrashOut by Ioan Grillo is a reader-supported publication.

trabajado con una facci&#243;n del C&#225;rtel de Sinaloa, pero se hab&#237;a separado para forjar su propio imperio. Sin embargo, D&#225;maso &#8220;Mini Lic&#8221; L&#243;pez, amigo convertido en enemigo de los Chapitos, afirm&#243; posteriormente al periodista Luis Chaparro que varios narcos estaban involucrados en el complot y que &#233;l mismo hab&#237;a avisado que estar&#237;an en el restaurante con poca seguridad. Despu&#233;s de que los sicarios se llevaron a los Chapitos, recibi&#243; un mensaje: &#8220;Los p&#225;jaros ya est&#225;n en la jaula&#8221;.</span></p><p><span>Mini Lic afirma que Iv&#225;n hab&#237;a enfadado a otros narcos al intentar apoderarse del imperio de su padre, que estaba en prisi&#243;n, y que quer&#237;an eliminarlo. &#171;Los detuvieron para matarlos&#187;, dijo Mini Lic. &#171;No fue por dinero. No fue para asustarlos. Fue para matarlos&#187;.</span></p><p><span>Los capos de Sinaloa, El Mayo y su padre Chapo, se apresuraron a negociar por sus vidas. Para facilitar estas negociaciones, seg&#250;n afirma D&#225;maso, Chapo organiz&#243; el secuestro del propio hijo de Mencho en prisi&#243;n. &#171;Le dijo a El Mencho: &#8216;Si me das a mis hijos, yo te doy a lo tuyo&#8217;&#187;, declar&#243; Mini Lic.</span></p><p><span>Tras cuatro d&#237;as, los Chapito fueron liberados para volver al narcotr&#225;fico en Sinaloa. Sin embargo, para algunos narcos veteranos, parec&#237;an d&#233;biles y vulnerables. Los ve&#237;an como &#8220;juniors&#8221;, chicos ricos que hab&#237;an ido a colegios privados, publicaban en redes sociales y adoraban los Ferraris y los Lamborghinis, pero carec&#237;an de la dureza de su padre, que hab&#237;a crecido usando sandalias, vendiendo naranjas a los 11 a&#241;os y extrayendo resina de las amapolas de opio a los 15. Algunos de estos jugadores cre&#237;an que pod&#237;an arrebatarles el territorio.</span></p><p><span>Sin embargo, para 2020, Iv&#225;n hab&#237;a consolidado su poder hasta convertirse en uno de los narcos m&#225;s ricos y temidos de M&#233;xico. Controlaba Culiac&#225;n, la capital del estado de Sinaloa, y gran parte de las fuerzas policiales, el sector empresarial y, cada vez m&#225;s, a sus pol&#237;ticos. Los Chapitos incluso rivalizaban con el veterano capo Mayo en t&#233;rminos de poder, lo que generaba una tensi&#243;n latente.

After the gunmen had taken the Chapitos, he received a message: &#8220;The birds are now in the cage.&#8221;</p><p>Mini Lic claims that Iv&#225;n had angered other narcos as he tried to take over the empire of his father, who was in prison, and they wanted to take him out. &#8220;They picked them up to kill them,&#8221; Mini Lic said. &#8220;It was not for money. It was not for a scare. It was to kill them.&#8221;</p><p>Sinaloa kingpins El Mayo and their father Chapo rushed to bargain for their lives though. To help these negotiations, D&#225;maso claims, Chapo organized the kidnapping of Mencho&#8217;s own son in prison. &#8220;He told El Mencho &#8216;If you give me my children, I will give you yours,&#8217; &#8221; Mini Lic said. </p><p>After four days, the Chapitos were released to go back to trafficking in Sinaloa. Yet for some veteran narcos, they had looked weak and vulnerable. They were seen as &#8220;juniors,&#8221; or young rich kids, who had been to private schools, posted on social media and loved Ferraris and Lamborghinis but lacked the grit and ruthlessness of their father, who had grown up wearing sandals, selling oranges at 11 and scraping gum from opium poppies at 15. Some of these players believed they could take the turf away. </p><p>Still, by 2020 Iv&#225;n had consolidated power to become one of the richest and most feared narcos in Mexico. He controlled Sinaloa state capital Culiac&#225;n and much of the state&#8217;s police forces, business sector and increasingly its politicians. The Chapitos even rivaled the veteran Sinaloa capo Mayo in terms of power, leading to seething tension. This is the story of how Iv&#225;n graduated from junior to kingpin, through violence, trafficking and corruption. </p><p><strong>The Succession From Chapo </strong></p><p>After Chapo was captured&#8230;</p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read the rest of this story.

</p><p><span>En el surrealista mundo de los narcocorridos, o baladas sobre drogas, en Sinaloa, M&#233;xico, los videos suelen contener breves escenas dram&#225;ticas que retratan al capo del narco del que se habla en la canci&#243;n. Miembros de la banda y actores interpretan los papeles, pero un productor de Culiac&#225;n que trabaja en estos videos me cont&#243; que es com&#250;n ver a sicarios aut&#233;nticos en las escenas, e incluso a veces un capo real aparece en la grabaci&#243;n y saluda. Y los narcocorridos suelen ser (aunque no siempre) encargados y pagados por los narcos que aparecen en ellos.</span></p><p><span>Una de esas escenas apareci&#243; en un video de 2015 de la banda Enigma Norte&#241;o y su disco El Se&#241;or Iv&#225;n, sobre el narco Iv&#225;n Archivaldo Guzm&#225;n. Iv&#225;n es hijo de El Chapo y a veces se le conoce como El Chapito, mientras que a &#233;l y a tres de sus hermanos se les conoce colectivamente como Los Chapitos.</span></p><p><span>El video presenta al cantante de Enigma, Ernesto Barajas, en el papel de Iv&#225;n, mientras bebe un car&#237;simo co&#241;ac Louis XIII y juega a las cartas tradicionales espa&#241;olas cuando aparece un asistente vestido con traje y pajarita. &#171;Disculpe la molestia, se&#241;or&#187;, dice el asistente. &#171;Aqu</span>&#237;<span> le traigo la carta que le mand&#243; su papa&#187;. Barajas irrumpe cantando sobre Chapo escribi&#233;ndole desde la (supuestamente) prisi&#243;n de m&#225;xima seguridad de M&#233;xico para nombrarlo nuevo jefe de su imperio de la droga. Mientras Barajas canta:</span></p><p><span>&#8220;</span>Escribi&#243; la carta el Chapo con un destino final <br>Sabemos el remitente, tenemos un nuevo jefe <br>Y no se ag&#252;ite mi gente ya le dieron el lugar<span>.&#8221;</span></p><p><span>Es una de las varios corridos que Enigma tiene en su repertorio sobre Iv&#225;n, de quien incluso se rumorea que aparece en uno de sus videos bailando de espaldas con una chica. La cercan&#237;a de los cantantes de corridos con los narcos reales implica que no solo comparten su fama, sino que tambi&#233;n se ven arrastrados a su mundo violento. El a&#241;o pasado, unos sicarios asesinaron a tiros al cantante Barajas en un estacionamiento de Zapopan, Jalisco.</span></p><p><span>Como dice la canci&#243;n, Iv&#225;n hered&#243; el imperio de su padre e incluso lo expandi&#243;, probablemente amasando una fortuna con el fentanilo. Sin embargo, consolidar su control fue una lucha larga y ardua, y finalmente Iv&#225;n condujo a su reino a una catastr&#243;fica guerra de c&#225;rteles. Mientras tanto, dos de sus hermanos cooperan con la fiscal&#237;a estadounidense en un caso que debilita su protecci&#243;n pol&#237;tica. Aun as&#237;, Iv&#225;n fue subestimado cuando ascendi&#243; al poder y contin&#250;a desafiando las expectativas y sobreviviendo. &#191;Qui&#233;n es el hombre detr&#225;s del capo?</span></p><p><strong><span>Perfil psicol&#243;gico</span></strong></p><p><span>La historia de Iv&#225;n comienza&#8230;</span></p><p><em>Lo sentimos, amigos, necesitan suscribirse para leer el resto de esta historia.

the surreal world of narco corridos, or drug ballads, in Sinaloa, Mexico, the videos often contain short dramatic scenes portraying the kingpin being sung about. Members of the band plus actors will play the roles, but a Culiac&#225;n producer who works on these videos described to me how it&#8217;s common to have authentic <em>sicario </em>hitmen in scenes and sometimes even a real kingpin turns up at a shoot and says hello. And narco corridos are often (though not always) commissioned and paid for by the drug lords featured in them.  </p><p>One such scene was in a 2015 video for the band Enigma <span>Norte&#241;o and their record </span><em>El Se&#241;or Iv&#225;n </em>about narco Iv&#225;n Archivaldo Guzm&#225;n. Iv&#225;n is the son of El Chapo and is sometimes referred to as El Chapito, while him and three of his brothers are known collectively as Los Chapitos, or Little Chapos. </p><p>The video features Enigma singer Ernesto Barajas in the role of Iv&#225;n as he sips super-expensive Louis XIII Cognac and plays traditional Spanish cards when an assistant roles up in a suit and bow tie. &#8220;Sorry for the bother se&#241;or,&#8221; the assistant says. &#8220;I bring a letter that your father sent.&#8221; Barajas bursts into song about Chapo penning to him from Mexico&#8217;s (supposedly) top security prison to appoint him as the new head of his drug empire. As Barajas croons:</p><p>&#8220;Chapo wrote the letter with a final destination, </p><p>We know the sender, we have a new boss,</p><p>Don&#8217;t be sad, they have awarded the position.&#8221;</p><p>It&#8217;s one of several ballads that Enigma has in its repertoire about Iv&#225;n, who is even rumored to actually appear in one of their videos dancing with a girl with his back turned. The closeness of corrido singers to real-life narcos means they not only get a share of their glory, however, but also get pulled into their violent world. Last year, gunmen shot dead the singer Barajas in a parking garage in Zapopan, Jalisco.</p><p>As the song says, Iv&#225;n did indeed take over the empire of his father and he even expanded aspects of it, likely making a fortune from fentanyl. It was a long hard struggle to consolidate his control though, and Iv&#225;n eventually led his kingdom into a catastrophic cartel war. Meanwhile, two of Ivan&#8217;s own brothers are cooperating with U.S. prosecutors in a case that weakens his political protection. Still, Iv&#225;n was underestimated when he first rose to take control and he continues to defeat expectations and survive. Who is the human behind the kingpin?</p><p><strong>Psychological Profile</strong></p><p>Iv&#225;n&#8217;s story begins&#8230;</p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read the rest of this story.

the Cuban embassy in Mexico City, two months before he shot John F. Kennedy? Or was the Nicaraguan double agent who reported this to Mexico&#8217;s secret police a fabricator seeking fame and fortune? Or was this all part of a CIA counter operation to divert attention from the real assassins?</p><p>Six decades after the assassination of JFK at Dealey plaza in Dallas on that fateful Nov. 22, 1963, which would shift history, documents continue to drip in on the sprawling confounding case. One pile of dusty papers offering clues lies in Mexico&#8217;s national archive, now in the colorful building of the former Lecumberri prison. I had a chance to get in there and wade through the files of the Direcci&#243;n Federal de Seguridad, or DFS, Mexico&#8217;s secret police of the time, on Oswald&#8217;s trip to Mexico in September 1963.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

It was strange behavior as the former marine had previously defected to the Soviet Union and then gone back to the United States with his Russian bride. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png" width="490" height="227.4198473282443" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:608,&quot;width&quot;:1310,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:490,&quot;bytes&quot;:1094756,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/i/209037816?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PWvC!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8a16b88c-c867-4b6a-86b6-f0f04f61aa3a_1310x608.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><em>Credit: Archivo General de la Naci&#243;n,  Exp. 36-69-963</em></p><p>The two most colorful DFS interrogations are of&#8230;</p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read the rest of this story.

C&#225;rtel de Sinaloa durante m&#225;s de una d&#233;cada, transportando cientos de kilos de coca&#237;na y cargamentos de armas, y supervisando una flota de aeronaves &#8220;que inclu&#237;a Caravans, Piper, King Air y Cessna 206&#8221;. Tambi&#233;n se encargaba de las comunicaciones de una secci&#243;n del c&#225;rtel y lleg&#243; a reportar directamente a Iv&#225;n Archivaldo Guzm&#225;n, hijo de El Chapo y l&#237;der de la facci&#243;n de los Chapitos. Su lucrativa carrera termin&#243; en febrero de 2025 cuando soldados mexicanos lo arrestaron tras un tiroteo, y fue entregado a custodia estadounidense en agosto.</span></p><p><span>Jando se hizo tristemente c&#233;lebre el mes pasado cuando se le acus&#243; de ser el piloto que traslad&#243; al veterano capo Ismael &#8220;El Mayo&#8221; Zambada desde Sinaloa a un aeropuerto de Nuevo M&#233;xico tras su secuestro el 25 de julio de 2024. Agentes federales arrestaron a Mayo en el aer&#243;dromo del condado de Do&#241;a Ana al aterrizar en un Beechcraft King Air, y finalmente fue condenado a cadena perpetua el lunes. Joaqu&#237;n Guzm&#225;n L&#243;pez, otro hijo del Chapo, tambi&#233;n fue arrestado al bajar del avi&#243;n, confes&#243; el secuestro de Mayo y est&#225; cooperando con la fiscal&#237;a estadounidense. El incidente desat&#243; una guerra civil entre el c&#225;rtel en Sinaloa, que desde entonces ha sufrido m&#225;s de 3.500 asesinatos y miles de desapariciones.</span></p><p><span>Sin embargo, en una conversaci&#243;n telef&#243;nica con CrashOut, el abogado de Jando, Jonathan Savella, afirm&#243; que Jando no fue detenido ni acusado tras el secuestro de Mayo. &#171;Puedo confirmar que no fue arrestado ese d&#237;a. No puedo confirmar d&#243;nde se encontraba ese d&#237;a&#187;, declar&#243; Savella.</span></p><p><span>Esta declaraci&#243;n a&#241;ade a&#250;n m&#225;s misterio al desconcertante caso de Jando, el controvertido secuestro transfronterizo de Mayo y la forma en que los agentes federales estadounidenses lo manejaron (u organizaron). Incluso el nombre de Jando es ambiguo: se le identifica como Mauro Alberto N&#250;&#241;ez Ojeda (incluso en su acusaci&#243;n formal), pero en algunos documentos aparece como Alejandro Ojeda &#193;vila (y Jando podr&#237;a ser la abreviatura de Alejandro).</span></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png" width="458" height="160.42582417582418" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:510,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:458,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:null,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/i/208286153?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstackcdn.com%2Fimage%2Ffetch%2F%24s_%21yEfc%21%2Cf_auto%2Cq_auto%3Agood%2Cfl_progressive%3Asteep%2Fhttps%253A%252F%252Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%252Fpublic%252Fimages%252F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><span>Si Jando fue realmente el piloto que entreg&#243; a Mayo a agentes estadounidenses, su historia es extraordinaria.

aqu&#237;.</a></p><p>The 32-year old Sinaloan pilot known as &#8220;El Jando&#8221; (pronounced Hando) confessed in a statement to a U.S. court in April that he worked with the Sinaloa Cartel for over a decade, flying planes with hundreds of kilos of cocaine and with shipments of guns, and overseeing a fleet of aircraft &#8220;including Caravans, Pipers, King Air and Cessna 206&#8217;s.&#8221; He also ran communications for a section of the cartel and rose to report directly to Iv&#225;n Archivaldo Guzm&#225;n, the son of El Chapo and leader of the Chapitos faction. His lucrative career came to an end in February 2025 when Mexican soldiers arrested him after a shoot out, and he was transferred into U.S. custody in August. </p><p>Jando gained real infamy, however, this last month when it was alleged he was the pilot who flew the veteran kingpin Ismael &#8220;El Mayo&#8221; Zambada from Sinaloa to an airport in New Mexico after he was kidnapped on July 25, 2024. Federal agents arrested Mayo at the Do&#241;a Ana County airfield when he landed in a Beechcraft King Air and he was finally given a life sentence <a href="https://www.crashoutmedia.com/p/el-mayos-last-hustle">on Monday</a>. Joaqu&#237;n Guzm&#225;n L&#243;pez, another son of Chapo, was also arrested coming off the plane, confessed to kidnapping Mayo and is cooperating with U.S. prosecutors. The incident sparked a cartel civil war in Sinaloa, which has suffered more than 3,500 murders and thousands of disappearances since. </p><p>However, speaking by phone to CrashOut, Jando&#8217;s lawyer, Jonathan Savella, said that Jando was not booked or charged following Mayo&#8217;s abduction. &#8220;I can confirm he was <em>not</em> arrested that day. I cannot confirm his location that day,&#8221; Savella said. </p><p>The statement adds yet more mystery to the confounding case of Jando, the controversial cross-border kidnapping of Mayo, and how U.S. federal agents handled (or organized) it. Even Jando&#8217;s name is murky: he is identified as Mauro Alberto N&#250;&#241;ez Ojeda (including in his indictment) but in some documents is called Alejandro Ojeda &#193;vila (and Jando could be short for Alejandro). </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png" width="462" height="161.82692307692307" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:510,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:462,&quot;bytes&quot;:277941,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/i/208258290?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!yEfc!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F4155bbcc-de13-47a7-a888-371054cf7ab5_1632x572.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"></picture><div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>If Jando were indeed the pilot who flew Mayo into the hands of U.S. agents his journey is remarkable.

</p><p>Mientras Ismael &#8220;El Mayo&#8221; Zambada, probablemente el narco m&#225;s prol&#237;fico que haya salido de M&#233;xico, se encontraba en el Centro de Detenci&#243;n Metropolitano (MDC) de Brooklyn, Nueva York, su equipo legal se enfrent&#243; a un desaf&#237;o. La penitenciar&#237;a puso al capo de 76 a&#241;os en aislamiento, lo que representa un riesgo para la salud mental del recluso (o, dicho de forma m&#225;s sencilla, lo vuelve loco).</p><p>Para contrarrestar esto, el equipo legal se asegur&#243; de que recibiera visitas constantes, incluyendo asistentes legales y su abogado principal, Frank P&#233;rez, el fiscal estadounidense m&#225;s destacado en la defensa de narcos junto con Jeffrey Lichtman, quien represent&#243; a Joaqu&#237;n &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzm&#225;n. Cuando entrevist&#233; a P&#233;rez en la Ciudad de M&#233;xico el a&#241;o pasado, le pregunt&#233; de qu&#233; hablaba Mayo durante esas horas. P&#233;rez respondi&#243; que el narco ten&#237;a dos temas principales de conversaci&#243;n: el ganado de su rancho en Sinaloa y la pol&#237;tica, incluyendo asuntos tanto mexicanos como estadounidenses.</p><p>La an&#233;cdota arroja luz sobre la sentencia dictada hoy contra Mayo en Nueva York y el acuerdo al que finalmente lleg&#243;. Esta ma&#241;ana, a las 11:00, hora de Nueva York, el juez Brian Cogan, quien tambi&#233;n sentenci&#243; al socio de Mayo, El Chapo, y al corrupto jefe de seguridad Genaro Garc&#237;a Luna, le impuso a Mayo una condena a cadena perpetua.</p><p>El anciano padrino recibi&#243; la sentencia despu&#233;s de entrar cojeando a la sala del tribunal con un mono naranja, y seg&#250;n se informa, exclam&#243; un &#8220;&#161;hay cabr&#243;n!&#8221; para mostrar su dificultad para levantarse, <a href="https://x.com/keegan_hamilton/status/2079227283286753613">de acuerdo a</a> los periodistas se encontraban en la tribuna. Se disculp&#243; por sus cr&#237;menes y pronunci&#243; un breve discurso sobre la necesidad de poner fin a las guerras entre c&#225;rteles en M&#233;xico.</p><p>&#8220;La violencia debe acabar en M&#233;xico&#8221;, dijo. &#8220;Se pierden demasiadas vidas. Se destrozan familias. Se arrastra a los j&#243;venes a una vida sin futuro. Nadie ganar&#225; esta guerra&#8221;.</p><p>Los fiscales recalcaron que Mayo morir&#237;a en prisi&#243;n, lo que les dar&#237;a una victoria sobre los c&#225;rteles en un caso en el que los agentes estadounidenses trabajaron durante d&#233;cadas y en el que Mayo finalmente fue arrestado tras un controvertido secuestro transfronterizo hace dos a&#241;os, en julio de 2024.</p><p>&#8220;El Mayo fue el narcotraficante m&#225;s importante del mundo en este siglo&#8221;, declar&#243; Joseph Nocella Jr., fiscal federal del Distrito Este de Nueva York, en una rueda de prensa a las afueras del tribunal. &#8220;Espero que la cadena perpetua de El Mayo brinde un m&#237;nimo de consuelo a las familias que han sufrido tanto. Los capos de la droga mueren en prisi&#243;n. El destino de El Mayo es morir en prisi&#243;n&#8221;.</p><p>Sin embargo, si bien el gobierno estadounidense se asegur&#243; de que Mayo pasara sus &#250;ltimos a&#241;os en una celda ah&#237;, el astuto capo tambi&#233;n lleg&#243; a un acuerdo calculado sobre la incautaci&#243;n de bienes y la cooperaci&#243;n que probablemente le permitir&#225; evitar la dura prisi&#243;n de Supermax, donde se encuentra Chapo, y as&#237; eludir un mayor aislamiento. Mayo sobrevivi&#243; medio siglo en el mundo del narco porque era un negociador h&#225;bil, fascinado por la pol&#237;tica. En su sentencia, negoci&#243; su &#250;ltimo acuerdo, que expongo aqu&#237;.</p><p>Los detalles de esta incautaci&#243;n de activos y cooperaci&#243;n no son lo que parecen a primera vista. Mayo construy&#243; su acuerdo&#8230;</p><p><em>Lo sentimos, amigos, necesitan suscribirse para leer el resto de esta historia.

Ismael &#8220;El Mayo&#8221; Zambada, probably the most prolific narco trafficker to ever come out of Mexico, was in the Metropolitan Detention Center, or MDC, in Brooklyn, New York, his legal team encountered a challenge. The penitentiary put the 76-year old kingpin in solitary confinement and this poses a risk of damaging the mental health of the prisoner (or to put it more plainly, driving him nuts). </p><p>To counter this, the legal team made sure people were visiting him constantly, including legal assistants and his main lawyer, Frank Perez, the most prominent U.S. attorney to defend narcos alongside Jeffrey Lichtman, who repped Joaqu&#237;n &#8220;El Chapo&#8221; Guzm&#225;n. When I interviewed Perez in Mexico City last year, I asked him what Mayo would talk about during these hours. Perez said that the drug lord had two main topics of conversation: the cattle on his ranch in Sinaloa, and politics, including both Mexican and U.S. affairs. </p><p>The anecdote shines light on Mayo&#8217;s sentencing today in New York and the settlement he ultimately came to. This morning at 11 am New York time, Judge Brian Cogan, who also sentenced Mayo&#8217;s partner El Chapo  and corrupt security chief Genaro Garc&#237;a Luna, handed Mayo a life sentence.    </p><p>The aging godfather received the sentence after limping into the court room in an orange jumpsuit, and reportedly exclaimed an <em>&#8220;hay cabr&#243;n!&#8221; </em>(or a &#8220;damn, man!&#8221;) to show his difficulty getting up, <a href="https://x.com/keegan_hamilton/status/2079227283286753613">according to</a> reporters in the gallery. He apologized for his crimes and gave a short sermon about needing to end the cartel wars in Mexico. </p><p>&#8220;Violence should stop in Mexico,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Too many lives are lost. It destroys families. It thrusts youths into a life without a future. Nobody will win this war.&#8221; </p><p>Prosecutors emphasized that Mayo would die in prison, giving them a victory over cartels in a case that U.S. agents worked on for decades, and in which Mayo was finally arrested after a controversial cross-border kidnapping two years ago, in July 2024.  </p><p>&#8220;El Mayo was the world&#8217;s single biggest drug trafficker this century,&#8221; Joseph Nocella Jr, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said in a press conference outside the court. &#8220;I hope that El Mayo&#8217;s life sentence brings some small measure of comfort to those families who have suffered so much pain. Drug kingpins die in prison. El Mayo&#8217;s fate is to die in prison.&#8221;</p><p>However, while the U.S. government has indeed ensured that Mayo will spend his last years in a U.S. cell, the wily kingpin also came to a calculated settlement around asset seizures and cooperation that will likely allow him to stay out of the punishing Supermax prison, where Chapo is, and avoid more solitary confinement. Mayo survived for a half a century in the drug game because he was a deal maker, fascinated by politics. In his sentencing, he brokered his last bargain, which I lay out here. </p><p>Details of this asset seizure and cooperation are not what they at first appear. Mayo built his agreement&#8230;  </p><p><em>Sorry folks, you need to subscribe to read the rest of this story.

he had to get stuck in and box himself. The result in his book <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Looking-Fight-David-Matthews/dp/0747262357">Looking For A Fight</a></em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Looking-Fight-David-Matthews/dp/0747262357"> </a>shows not only his level of grit as a journalist but his absolute determination to reach the truth about hard-hitting issues (literally). </p><p>When he researched gangs for a follow up book, <em><a href="https://www.amazon.es/London-DM-David-Matthews/dp/1529104734">Gang London</a>, </em>he didn&#8217;t literally join a gang but he spent a huge amount of time with them; using his knowledge he clears away the myths and hype to find out what is really going on amid the stabbings and coke deals on the the streets of the British capital.  </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

There is a real problem with organized crime in the UK but it&#8217;s often not how the tabloids describe it. </p><p>In this chat on the CrashOut Podcast, we get into some fascinating issues including: how Britain might have the biggest use of cocaine per capita in the world; the demise of old school cockney gangsters; how African war refugees are recruited into London gangs (a story reminiscent of the MS-13 fleeing El Salvador for Los Angeles); the rise of phone theft crews on electric bikes; and how serious Turkish traffickers hire black street gangs as foot soldiers. We also lament on England&#8217;s painful loss to Argentina in the World Cup. </p><p>You can also listen to the pure audio of the episode here:</p><div class="native-audio-embed" data-component-name="AudioPlaceholder" data-attrs="{&quot;label&quot;:null,&quot;mediaUploadId&quot;:&quot;28389a08-0cc9-48c5-b08c-43bc6bb4c9b4&quot;,&quot;duration&quot;:3507.1477,&quot;downloadable&quot;:false,&quot;isEditorNode&quot;:true}"></div><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.crashoutmedia.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">CrashOut by Ioan Grillo is a reader-supported publication.

su estado natal de Guerrero, M&#233;xico. Combinando el estilo de periodista, activista e influencer, este hombre de 39 a&#241;os public&#243; videos para 164.000 suscriptores en YouTube y otros 33.000 en Facebook, adem&#225;s de en otras redes sociales.</p><p>Serna opin&#243; sobre diversos temas, desde asuntos exteriores hasta el mundo del espect&#225;culo mexicano, pero su verdadera pasi&#243;n era el medio ambiente. Denunci&#243; la contaminaci&#243;n de los r&#237;os, la destrucci&#243;n de playas y el envenenamiento del agua. Public&#243; los nombres de las empresas responsables, demostr&#243; la falta de permisos y se&#241;al&#243; a los pol&#237;ticos que, seg&#250;n &#233;l, estaban implicados. Todo esto a pesar de vivir en la ciudad tur&#237;stica de Zihuatanejo, asolada por una guerra territorial entre c&#225;rteles rivales, que tambi&#233;n se infiltran en negocios y grupos pol&#237;ticos de la zona y han obligado a varios periodistas a huir.</p><p>&#171;Alex Serna inform&#243; con tanta libertad como si estuviera ajeno al entorno en el que estaba parado&#187;, escribieron sus colegas periodistas del medio El Tlacolol, con sede en Chlipancingo, capital del estado de Guerrero. &#171;Lo que s&#237; hac&#237;a Alex Serna, y de forma contundente, era cuestionar al poder ya los poderosos.&#187;.</p><p>En marzo, Serna public&#243; sobre una amenaza que recibi&#243; y dijo que la cuenta detr&#225;s de ella estaba vinculada a un negocio que estaba investigando, propiedad de una poderosa familia pol&#237;tica. &#8220;B&#225;jale de huevos hijo de tu puta madre&#8221;, dec&#237;a la amenaza. &#8220;No estamos jugando ya tenemos tu ubicaci&#243;n y todo&#8221;.</p><p>Serna no se rindi&#243;. Continu&#243; informando hasta su &#250;ltimo video, publicado el 20 de junio, en el que mostraba da&#241;os ambientales en pueblos cercanos y acusaba a un empresario extranjero de estar involucrado. Ese d&#237;a, mientras M&#233;xico se centraba en el Mundial, con partidos disput&#225;ndose en Ciudad de M&#233;xico, Guadalajara y Monterrey, desapareci&#243;.</p><p>Desaparecer en M&#233;xico es, lamentablemente, algo com&#250;n; el gobierno tiene registrada una lista de m&#225;s de 130.000 personas desaparecidas. En Zihuatanejo, al menos otras diez personas desaparecieron entre finales de mayo y junio, y las familias, atemorizadas, solo denunciaron los casos en silencio. &#171;Ese municipio se convirti&#243; en un pozo negro&#187;, escribieron los periodistas en El Tlacolol. &#171;El miedo en Zihuatanejo es insoportable&#187;.</p><p>En medio de este terror, pasaron al menos diez d&#237;as antes de que la desaparici&#243;n de Serna se conociera en las noticias. Incluso entonces, transcurrieron varios d&#237;as m&#225;s antes de que el gobierno estatal confirmara que su cad&#225;ver se encontraba en una morgue p&#250;blica; seg&#250;n versiones, su propia familia tambi&#233;n hab&#237;a sido amenazada y aterrorizada de ir all&#237;.</p><p>El cuerpo de Serna fue descubierto dos d&#237;as despu&#233;s de su desaparici&#243;n, seg&#250;n revel&#243; finalmente un grupo estatal de derechos humanos.
