Mexican drug lord 'El Mayo' sentenced to life in US prison

Ismael Zambada García, known as 'El Mayo,' was sentenced to life in prison in US federal court on Monday after pleading guilty to drug trafficking charges as a co-founder and leader of the Sinaloa cartel. The 76-year-old Mexican drug lord admitted to shipping massive quantities of cocaine and other drugs through his plea deal. This case represents one of the most significant prosecutions of a Mexican drug trafficker in the US since 'El Chapo' Guzmán received a life sentence in 2019.
