Ismael Zambada-Imperial guilty

Ismael Zambada-Imperial was arrested in Culiacán in 2014 after cops tracked his frequent posts on social media.

Cars, jewelry, weapons and women is what the son of "El Mayo" Zambada boasted of on social networks. Alias is “Mayito Gordo” or chubby little version of his father.

While the Sinaloa Cartel remains under the leadership of Zambada García, he has not been seen in some time. There has been a serious split between his supporters and those of Guzmán Loera’s sons, collectively known as “Los Chapitos.” Mayito Gordo faces at least 10 years in prison but could be sentenced up to life.

The Sinaloa Cartel remains among the two most powerful cartels in Mexico, but its status has been challenged by the rapid rise of the Jalisco Cartel New Generation (Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generación – CJNG)
