10-1-20 Almost 12 years after the Learjet "accident" journalist Anabel Hernández revealed that the plane may have been shot down by Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada for a breach of the agreements between then-president Felipe Calderón and the Sinaloa Cartel. … “Previous days, due to an accident, “El Rey” Zambada is detained in Mexico City by a group that was not protecting “Chapo” Guzmán or “El Mayo” Zambada. https://quinto-poder.mx/post_trendys/el-mayo-zambada-habria-derribado-avion-de-mourino-senala-anabel-hernandez/

9-17-2013 About half of the estimated $65 billion worth of illegal cocaine, heroin and other narcotics that Americans buy each year enters the United States via Mexico, according to law enforcement experts (though the drugs often originate in South or Central America). More than half of that is believed to be supplied by Sinaloa. Drug enforcement experts estimate, conservatively, that the cartel’s annual revenues exceed $3 billion....A recent U.S. State Department report estimated that as much as 90 percent of all cocaine consumed in this country comes from Mexico--$37 billion worth each year, according to the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime. https://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/October-2013/Sinaloa-Cartel/

11-20-2018 A former Sinaloa Cartel operations chief said Guzmán wanted to kill the federal government’s top anti-drugs prosecutor in 2005 because he wouldn’t accept bribes, a key prosecution witness said yesterday.
Jesús Zambada, who is providing insider testimony about the accused’s alleged criminal activities, told jurors that Guzmán and his brother and current cartel leader Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada planned to kill José Luis Santiago Vasconcelos because “he didn’t cooperate with anyone.”
The ex-cartel member told the court that he was asked to participate in the murder plot by helping to locate Santiago and “providing security to the gunmen” tasked with killing him. Zambada said that he initially agreed to the request but after asking his brother’s chief sicario, or hitman, how he planned to kill the official, he backed away from his commitment because “what they were going to do didn’t seem right.” The witness said that his brother later told him to forget about the plan.
Santiago was eventually killed in November 2008 when a government aircraft in which he was traveling crashed in Mexico City. Juan Camilo Mouriño, federal interior secretary at the time, also died in the accident.
In court today Jesus Zambada began naming names. He said he gave US $6 million to Genaro García Luna in the mid-2000s when García wasMexico’s head of security and made other million-dollar payments to Gabriel Regino, who was head of security in Mexico City when president-elect López Obrador was mayor. He continued his testimony the next day, telling jurors that the Sinaloa Cartel paid regular bribes – in dollars--to high-ranking police officers and officials at all three levels of government.
He has also provided intimate details about the Sinaloa Cartel’s violent turf wars with rival gangs. Yesterday Zambada said that Chapo was always armed either with a diamond-encrusted pistol or an AK-47 assault rifle. https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/chapo-wanted-to-kill-anti-drug-boss/
