Sinaloa Cartel founder 'El Mayo' set for life sentence in New York

A New York court will hand down its verdict Monday for Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, a founding figure of Mexico's notorious Sinaloa Cartel. Judges are expected to condemn the veteran narcotics baron to spend the rest of his life behind bars.

Zambada began as an impoverished field hand and climbed to the summit of global organized crime, amassing vast power and fortune before law enforcement captured him at a United States airport during July 2024, according to pmo.ee (https://pmo.ee/8511944).
