Fondatorul cartelului Sinaloa a fost condamnat la închisoare pe viață. Judecătorul a dat ordin să i se confiște 15 miliarde de dolari

Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, a key figure in the Sinaloa cartel, was sentenced to life in prison and fined $15 billion by a U.S. court. Zambada, 76, co-founded the cartel in the late 1980s and was known for his discreet lifestyle. He admitted guilt for leading a criminal organization and urged youth to avoid violence. Under his leadership, the cartel distributed significant amounts of cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl, employing innovative smuggling methods. His sentencing marks a significant moment in U.S. drug enforcement history, although the actual recovery of the confiscated assets remains uncertain.
