It was the umpteenth horrible evidence that the cruel war is still raging within the infamous Sinaloakartel. The bloody brother struggle started today exactly a year ago with the kidnapping and extradition on July 25, 2024 at the United States of the 77-year-old Capo Ismael `El Mayo ‘Zambada by a son of his former ally and co-founder of the Sinaloakartel Joaquín` El Chapo’ Guzmán.
Graffiti and a text on the delivery van seemed to indicate that the murders had been committed by the faction of the Sinaloakartel led by Ismael Zambada Siciros (43), aka `Mayito Flaco ‘, a son of El Mayo. The text was addressed to the sons of El Chapo that lead the other important faction: Iván Archivaldo Guzmán Salazar (42) aka `El Chapito ‘and Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar (39) aka` Alfredito’, better known as Los Chapitos.
El Mayo Zambada was invited by El Chapo’s son Joaquín Guzmán López (35) to help in Culiacán on July 25 last year to help solve a political conflict between two political rivals, the governor of the state of Sinaloa, Rubéntor’s party, and Héctor-Lechta, and Héctor-Lechta, and Héctor, and Héctor, and Héctor, Sinaloense, who had just been elected a people’s representative in the national parliament in Mexico City in the national elections.

Cuén and El Mayo in the fall
It turned out to be a fall. Cuén was shot and El Mayo was blindfolded and fascinated in a private plane to the Texas. There, Guzmán Jr. alias `El Güero Moreno ‘handed himself and El Mayo to the American anti-drug unit DEA. The role of Governor Rocha is unclear, the left -wing government party Morena has always kept him his head.

Washington denies that it was aware of the kidnapping and extradition in advance. A few weeks after his kidnapping by the chapito now prisoner in the US, Joaquín Jr., El Mayo announced in a letter to the Los Angeles Times that he was abducted and was extradited against his will to the US where he is now the death penalty for drugsmokkel of Fentanyl and for the Land.
The seed for an internal gang war was laid.
Revenge
The extradition of El Mayo seems to be a revenge for the fact that his son Jesús Vicente Zambada Niebla (50) aka `El Vicentillo ‘. In 2019, after his arrest by the Americans, he witnessed in exchange for criminal reduction in the criminal proceedings against El Chapo, which was subsequently sentenced to lifelong plus plus 30 years.
On September 9, 2024, within the Sinaloakartel, the inevitable battle for power between La Chapiza, the faction of Los Chapitos, and La Mayiza, the faction of El Mayo’s son broke out.

Bodies accumulate in the streets of the 800 thousand inhabitants Culiacán and elsewhere in Sinaloa. Murders, shootings, corpses in bags, mutilated bodies and funerals have since been the order of the day. Thousands of people take to the streets every day and keep their children inside. Residents who could afford it have fled Sinaloa with their children.
According to the latest estimates, 1600 people were killed in the violent struggle within the Mexican crime organization and 2000 were missing. 47 children, 28 women and 40 police officers also died in the barrage.
Smiling third
The violence has increased in recent months. “On Monday, June 30, with thirty dead, the most violent day since the start of the internal gang war on 9 September,” editor -in -chief Adrián López of the newspaper El Noroeste said in an interview on Radio Fórmula. “With 241 murders, June was the deadliest month in the history of Sinaloa since 2010.”

In the meantime, there are the other two Chapitos in American prisons. Ovidio Guzmán López (35) aka `El Ratón ‘has reached a settlement with the judiciary. He has declared himself guilty of drug trafficking and organized crime. In exchange for information about, for example, the location of drug laboratories, smuggling routes and possible ties between the Sinaloa cartel and the Mexican authorities, he avoids a criminal proceedings and will probably get a lower punishment. His brother Joaquín and El Mayo Azen also at such a settlement.
The US seems to be the smiling third. “The American legal system benefits the most of this kind of settlements because the occurrence of a long -term lawsuit saves a lot of costs,” the Mexican security expert ALán García told this newspaper earlier. “And they get a lot of information so that they better understand how the Mexican cartels operate.”
