Recently Sanctioned Belgian Trafficker Told to Pay Debt Owed to "El Mayo" Zambada

"Socalj" for Borderland Beat


“Just as I have the balls to come and make this video with my face, Mr. Ballouti, I am also standing with my people from Mayo Zambada, do you understand me? So check the information carefully...”

The notice was addressed to Othman El Ballouti, a drug trafficker who smuggles cocaine through Belgium and who was recently sanctioned by authorities in the United States due to his involvement in trafficking.

The video, just over a minute long, was released by journalist Jorin van de Az on the news site Gazet van Antwerpen on July 19, although the exact date of its creation is unknown. The clip shows an alleged Mexican drug trafficker in a white shirt and black cap inside a vehicle.

At first, the Mexican -identity unknown- offered an apology to Ballouti for sending his people to collect a debt. However, he later demanded that he settle the pending issues that he has with them.



In the video, a Mexican man addresses 'Señor El Ballouti' directly. The man speaks with the accent of someone from SinaloaThe man in the video says he speaks on behalf of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, the leader of the Sinaloa cartel.


"I'm sorry, Mr. Ballouti, that I sent people to the door of one of your people to settle a debt," he said apologetically. Then the tone becomes more menacing. The man tells El Ballouti to show the video to the Mexicans in Europe. “They will tell you who I am. I have the balls to show my face to you here.”


The man in the video believes that El Ballouti urgently needs to settle an old debt. "You need to get serious," it sounds. 


“But debts are debts of honor, debts of men. This business is for men, not fags. Then I ask you to get your act together with that debt, sir. In advance, I apologize again, but well, you also get serious. There we are. Take care of yourself, Ballouti family,” concluded the operator of Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada.


At the end of the video, the Mexican offered Ballouti another apology but asked him to pay the "debt of honor" as soon as possible. However, at no time did he mention what said debt consists of, that is if it is related to a shipment of drugs or money.

Who is Othman El Ballouti?

According to the US Treasury Department, Othman El Ballouti is considered a "high-level drug trafficker" who runs an international criminal organization that smuggles cocaine, which enters through the port of Antwerp in Belgium and is distributed throughout Europe.

Othamn operates alongside his younger brother, Younes El Ballouti. The illicit money obtained is “laundered” through companies headquartered in China. Due to their involvement in drug trafficking, they are wanted by the Belgian authorities.

However, both Othamn and Younes are presumed to be taking refuge in the United Arab Emirates, specifically Dubai, to avoid capture. Despite this, on July 19, the Treasury Department sanctioned these traffickers along with one of their Belgian operators, identified as Youssef Ben Azza, due to his illegal activities.

  2. Theory: he still had an open debt when he fled to Dubai. And now that he's there he doesn't pay because he thinks the cartel can't get him in Dubai.

    Not sure if cartel related but earlier this year, his 11-year-old niece died when gunmen shot up the home of his sister.

    9. I believe the European market belongs to the Columbians and controlled and distributed through the Albanians. Maybe here and there Mexicans import but that’s why they are willing to just take loads because it doesn’t affect their business or supply if they don’t pay the Mexicans.

      "the Sinaloa Cartel already has connections with important Middle Eastern drug traffickers, such as Turkish drug groups and Lebanon’s Hezbollah". Sinaloan proxies can get you.

    6. 5:15 there you go with the racism!
      Why couldn't you say Arabs don't care about a bunch of drug dealers?
      Because bringing down Mexicans was more important.
      Had it been the Italians trying to hit an Arab you would have mentioned Italians.
      This is the way this country has always been.

      That's an ad hominem fallacy. Now, you made a claim its "fake" so, present your counter argument with evidence.

    9. 2:16 ad minimum fallacy my ass!
      The guy could have also said Mexican drug dealers but instead it simply said Mexicans as in general.
      Making Arabs sound more important or shit like that.
      You think Arabs are the only people with weapons and shut like tha also?
      How long have you been reading BB here when it only mostly talks about the weapons the cartels have?
      You think just because south American countries are poor they are push overs also?

    10. 2:16 that's a racist fuckin ad hominem fallacy.
      How would you like it if it's said fuckin Caucasian Americans keep shooting innocent people in malls and movies theaters and shit like that?
      You'd come up with examples that other people do it also.
      As for Arabs caring about Mexicans? They are NOT at war with each other.
      Arabs caring about Mexican drug dealers?

      The comment at @1:45 questioned the age of somebody to argue that it's a "fake" article and that's an ad hominem fallacy because they focused on the personal and not the argument made in the article. I didn't care to read the rest of your post, sorry.

    5. No u not bc if so u would know theres like 4 different accents in sinaloa like like any other state for the most part bc mx is divided in regions most sates fall under 2 regions and thts where the accents are different..for example michoacan falls under the tierra caliente region which runs west to east and the northern part pf michoacan falls under el bajio which they have their own accents por eso alot of jalisco,michoacan,guanajuato people sound the same bc theyre in the same region osea el bajio and thats where all 3 states meet inn the region of el bajio.

  17. Just my opinion:: but,what if this guy is Colombian,and not Sinaloan.And he mentions Mayo because he was authorized to do it,cause Mayo is better known by Europe,and possibly more respected.He could be disguising his accent,and trying to sound Mexican(Sinaloan)…the word “marika” is used a lot in Colombia to insult people.
