Mexico Attorney General’s Office calls on US to hand over key evidence regarding arrest of ‘El Mayo’ Zambada

The Mexico Attorney General’s Office (FGR) has broken its silence after three weeks of suspicions and inconsistencies surrounding the arrest of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquín Guzmán López in the United States, and the murder of Héctor Melesio Cuén Ojeda in Culiacán, the capital of Sinaloa. The ministerial authorities said Thursday in a statement that their U.S. counterparts have not shared key elements to clarify how El Mayo and Joaquín Guzmán López, the one of the sons of Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, were detained on U.S. soil, such as information on the aircraft that transported them, the pilot who flew it, and the official procedures that allowed them to land at a rural airport in New Mexico. The FGR also exposed errors and omissions in the investigation carried out by the Sinaloa Prosecutor’s Office to clarify the murder of Cuén, regarding the autopsy, the investigations at the crime scene, the preservation of the body, and the video that has been released of the alleged attack on the politician, one of the main pieces of evidence presented by the state authorities.
