Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, a prominent Mexican drug cartel leader, was arrested after being allegedly kidnapped by Joaquín Guzmán López, the son of notorious drug lord 'El Chapo.' Zambada's attorney, Frank Perez, claims his client was forcibly taken to the U.S., stating that Zambada was ambushed, handcuffed, and transported against his will. The 76-year-old Zambada had eluded capture for decades and is now facing multiple drug charges, including a new indictment in New York. Analysts warn that Zambada's removal from the cartel could trigger violent power struggles among rival factions and potentially empower a more aggressive generation of traffickers. Zambada is recognized as a key figure in the narcotics trade and his arrest raises concerns about instability within the Sinaloa cartel. Perez has not elaborated further on the situation beyond his initial statements.
