Sinaloa Cartel Boss ‘El Mayo’ Sentenced to Life

Zambada, a former top associate of Joaquín ‘El Chapo’ Guzmán, was sentenced in a U.S. court after being extradited from Mexico.

He ordered to pay $15 billion in forfeiture, reflecting the enormous scale of the cartel’s operations.

El Mayo had been a fugitive for decades before his capture.

The sentencing marks a major milestone in the U.S. war on drugs.
