The “baroness” of drugs Ismail “El Mayo” Zambada, arrested in Texas in July, called for repatriated Mexico in front of a death sentence in the US, became known today by Mexican President Claudia.

Co -founder of the Sinaloa cartel, which Washington has just joined the list of terrorist organizations, Zambada is tried for drug trafficking in New York. He was arrested in Texas on July 25, 2025.

The request of Zambada’s lawyers “was taken to the Consulate in New York and (…) and we deposit it to the office of the Attorney General of Mexico,” the president said during a regular press conference.

According to a report in the Reforma newspaper today, Zambada’s lawyers called for his “immediate repatriation” in the context of a “consular protection” request, arguing that his transfer to the US was “illegal”.

“If the Mexican government does not act (…) I will condemn death without any doubt,” the newspaper said.

Claudia Seinbaum insisted that, without seeking to defend the baron of the Sinaloa cartel, his case is now before the Attorney General’s office because it concerns “the right of a Mexican citizen” tried in the US, “without being complied with. Every legal process. “

Ismael Zambada, 77, is one of the co -founders of the Sinaloa cartel along with Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman, who serves a life sentence in the US.

He claims that he was kidnapped by a son of “El Chapo” and conveyed him against his will to a private aircraft to the US.
