**AMLO Accuses US of Not Cooperating on Information About Arrests of “El Mayo” and “El Chapo’s” Son**
President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, commonly known as AMLO, has expressed his dissatisfaction with the United States regarding the minimal information it provided about the recent captures of Ismael Mario Zambada García, alias “El Mayo,” and Joaquín Guzmán López, known as “El Güero Moreno,” the son of the infamous Joaquín Archivaldo Guzmán Loera, alias “El Chapo.”
During his morning press briefing on August 9, 2024, held at the National Palace in Mexico City, López Obrador revealed that the US government, led by President Joe Biden, had shared only basic details about these high-profile detentions. This information included the arrival of an aircraft in El Paso, Texas, with both Zambada and Guzmán López on board.
“We are still waiting for more comprehensive information, but so far, we have only received very elementary details. For instance, they mentioned an agreement that had been in place and that the plane landed not only with Guzmán Lopez but also with Zambada,” López Obrador stated.
The Mexican President criticized the lack of cooperation from the US, pointing out that the provided information was insufficient. “We know a plane cloned from Hermosillo wasn’t involved, but the Mexican General Prosecutor’s Office is investigating further. However, the US has not offered adequate cooperation in this case,” he emphasized.
López Obrador raised several questions regarding the whereabouts and identity of the pilot who flew the aircraft and sought precise details about the plane’s origin. Additionally, he mentioned conflicting statements, such as those from Zambada’s attorney, Frank Pérez, who claimed Zambada had been detained.
“Who was the pilot? What did they do with the pilot? And importantly, where did the plane come from? We need more clarity on the negotiation—was it an agreement or was Zambada detained as reported by his lawyer? We’ll have to wait and see,” he concluded.
