Alejandro Gertz Manero, head of Mexico's Attorney General's Office, assured that “it is proven” that Ismael el Mayo Zambada was kidnapped in Culiacán and that the United States allowed the entry of an aircraft with cloned license plates.

During President Claudia Sheinbaum's morning conference, which the Attorney General attended for the first time, he was questioned about the arrest of the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. 

He specified that after being kidnapped in Culiacán, “he arrived by plane to a border city in the United States”, and added that, “the entry of any plane and any person are regulated by North American Law and the vehicle has to be identified, which in this case is the plane”.

Gertz Manero added that the license plate of the plane in which Zambada was transported was cloned. 

“The pilot has to be fundamentally identified, because no pilot, no aircraft, can enter a U.S. border airport if it does not meet a series of requirements, these requirements are mandatory for everyone, that is what we are asking for,” he added.
