News summary

Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, appeared in a Texas federal court in a wheelchair, facing serious charges including drug trafficking, kidnapping, torture, and murder. His recent arrest on July 25, alongside Joaquin Guzman Lopez, the son of 'El Chapo,' has raised questions about a possible betrayal, as Zambada's lawyers claim he was kidnapped and forcibly brought to the U.S. against his will. During a brief court hearing, Zambada, 76, was described as appearing sickly, with his legal team emphasizing his health issues stemming from the alleged abduction. The judge designated the case as complex, extending the timeline for trial, with a status conference set for September 9. Zambada remains in custody without bail, as U.S. authorities seek to ensure his future court appearances and public safety.
