The leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, has sent a letter to the Government of Claudia Sheinbaum requesting that they intervene in his repatriation from the United States. Zambada warns of a possible collapse in bilateral relations if measures are not taken in this regard.
In the message directed to the Mexican government, Zambada emphasizes that he was taken to the United States illegally and asks to avoid his death penalty in that country. Juan Manuel Delgado González, his legal advisor, has confirmed the submission of the letter at the Mexican Consulate General in New York.
The Mexican drug trafficker argues that the non-intervention of the Mexican government could set a dangerous precedent, allowing any individual to be transferred to U.S. territory without consequences. He also warns about the possibility that Mexican politicians and officials may face the same fate.
Zambada highlights that the defense of his rights is not an option for Mexico but an obligation. Therefore, he insists that the cancellation of his criminal process in New York be demanded, which he believes originated from his kidnapping and illegal transfer to the U.S.
In summary, 'El Mayo' Zambada seeks the support of the Mexican government to avoid his death sentence in the United States, arguing that his case represents an assault on national sovereignty and could set a dangerous precedent for any Mexican citizen.
