Will they finally catch him? The question asks Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada poke a denture under a thick black mustache. “At any time or never,” he replied in powdery Spanish to journalist Julio Scherer (1926-2015).
– –
Almost ten years after that unpublished interview, the second scenario is more possible for the founder of the Sinaloa Cartel.
– –
After the life sentence of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán in the United States, the next kingpin on the list would naturally be “El Mayo” Zambada; however, it was not.
– –
Although for years, Ismael Zambada has remained the most emblematic figure within organized crime, the authorities raised the price for the capture of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, “El Mencho”, leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, considered the most powerful criminal group in the country.
– –
For 50 years, Ismael Zabada García, a low-profile drug lord, has dedicated himself to illegal drug trafficking without ever having set foot in a prison.
– –
Why isn’t a man over seventy years of age on the radar of the Mexican government? That was one of the questions raised by the judicial process of his partner and compadre, Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán.
– –
To answer it, the journalist and expert in drug trafficking, Anabel Hernández, wrote profusely on the subject.
– –
Hernández reports that “El Mencho”, in the world of great crime, He was a newcomer who imitated the ways of the great men of drug trafficking, but with violence and instability in the drug market. Unlike “Mayo” Zambada, who is a man of few enemies and possesses a special power: to give stability to the black market.
– –
For the journalist, the reports on the expansion of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel are a kind of “campaign” to make them a more precise target. “They only seek to magnify them, since they are not that size. Once they become a target, they become disposable, ”he assured.
– –
Other important but violent hitmen were The Zetas, who were consolidated not by drug trafficking, but by their excessive violence.
– –
Exemplifying, Anabel mentions. “It is the same as the phenomenon that happened with Los Zetas and its founder Heriberto Lazcano. Were they more important than” El Chapo “or” El Mayo “? Did they traffic more drugs? No, but the violence they carried out generated instability in the market ”.
– –
Currently the cartel of the last letter has lost unity. Its historic leaders are out of the game, and the organization has fragmented in a way that remains confusing, without much clarity about the cartel’s current morphology. However, their violence is still very much alive in the Gulf of Mexico states, mainly in Veracruz and Tamaulipas.

In Mexico, the situation is different. The Attorney General’s Office and the DEA agree that the CJNG is the criminal organization that has the greatest presence in Aztec territory. This due to the criminal dynamics of Mencho.
