Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, was arrested in the U.S. following a betrayal by Joaquín Guzmán López, son of imprisoned kingpin El Chapo. Zambada's arrest marks the end of his four-decade leadership of the cartel, which is notorious for its fentanyl trafficking operations. The operation to capture him had been planned for months, and both Zambada and Guzmán López were taken into custody without incident.
