One of El Chapo's sons just admitted in a Chicago courtroom that he straight-up kidnapped his dad's old business partner and handed him over to American feds. Joaquín Guzmán López confessed to luring Ismael Zambada García out of hiding by pretending there was some political meeting to attend, then his crew put a bag over the guy's head and zip-tied him before flying him across the border. Prosecutors said both Guzmán López brothers have been cooperating with investigators, though the kidnapping itself apparently won't get them any credit toward lighter sentences.
The whole Sinaloa cartel has been getting absolutely wrecked lately between government pressure and rival gangs coming after them. El Chapo's other sons are still hiding out in Mexico and recently made a deal with their longtime enemies just to get some protection. Meanwhile, Trump announced he's gonna pardon the former Honduran president who got convicted of taking bribes from El Chapo to smuggle cocaine, which is pretty wild timing given all the Venezuela crackdown stuff happening right at the same time.
