Mexico investigates whether US lied about role in capture of drug lord

Mexico has initiated an investigation into claims that the FBI was secretly involved in the capture of top Sinaloa cartel member Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada García in 2024. The US government has consistently denied any involvement, but recent reports suggest otherwise, raising concerns about potential violations of Mexico’s sovereignty. This incident underscores the ongoing tensions between the two nations over drug trafficking and the extent of US involvement in operations on Mexican soil. The outcome could have significant implications for bilateral relations and the ongoing war on drugs.
