Officials tell Reuters that Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada was lured into getting on a plane to the US by Joaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of Mexican drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.
An alleged Mexican drug cartel leader arrested in Texas was duped into flying to the US, officials have said. Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada was detained on Thursday alongside Joaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of Mexican drug lord Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman.
'I have no comment except to state that he did not surrender voluntarily,' he added. A bloody inter-cartel war erupted in 2008 when another senior Sinaloa leader was detained. His family members accused El Chapo of orchestrating the arrest with Mexican authorities, triggering violence between two powerful factions of the crime group. Guzman Lopez - who is in his 30s - is one of four sons of El Chapo. His brother Ovidio Guzman Lopez was arrested last year and extradited to the US.
