There could be a leadership dispute after ‘Mayo’s’ arrest, military commander says

Following the arrest of Mayo Zambada, there could be a leadership dispute within the Sinaloa cartel between Los Menores, Los Mayos and Los Guanos, according to the commander of the Ninth Military Zone, Porfirio Fuentes Velez.

He mentioned that it is possible that there is a reconfiguration within the cartel.

“Maybe there is an internal dispute among the members of the factions that make up the Sinaloa cartel, who are fighting for control, but I think that right now everything seems to be calm,” he said.

He pointed out that there are three factions of the cartel, one led by the sons of Joaquín el Chapo Guzmán, another by El Mayo Zambada and the third by Aureliano Guzmán Loera, El Guano.

He commented that it is likely that with the capture of El Mayo the group led by him will continue, but with another person at the head.

“The fact that he has been arrested does not mean that they are no longer there, he is arrested, but surely his organization remains, someone will take it over, but we don’t know who,” he said.

He assured that, although there is no upturn in violence, the Army will remain on alert. “We have a sufficient force so that it can react to any situation or eventuality that overflows security,” he commented.

He detailed that the Sedena will continue to act in coordination with all authorities.
