Drug lord faces life in prison after pleading guilty in US
Bangkok Post
|August 27, 2025
The Trump administration’s top justice official Pam Bondi hailed a “landmark victory” on Monday as Sinaloa drug cartel cofounder Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada changed his plea to guilty, meaning he faces life imprisonment and losing $15 billion (487 billion baht).
-
Mr Zambada, 77, cofounded the Sinaloa Cartel with notorious drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman. He was arrested in the United States in July 2024 along with Joaquin Guzman Lopez, a son of El Chapo.
“El Mayo will spend the rest of his life behind bars. He will die in a US federal prison where he belongs,” Attorney General Bondi told a briefing flanked by prosecutors and federal agents in Brooklyn.
