Mexico's Kidnapping Treason Law Stems from Manhunt Following DEA Agent 'Kiki' Camarena's Torture & Murder
Instead, Mexican prosecutors are bringing charges against the younger Guzmán for allegedly kidnapping Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada in order to turn him over to US authorities when they landed in New Mexico.
Federal prosecutors issued a statement saying “an arrest warrant has been prepared” against the younger Guzmán for illegal flights, kidnapping, and illicit use of airports, with treason implicated as well. They cited the charge of treason “by those who illegally abduct a person in Mexico in order to hand them over to authorities of another country.”

Cartel enforcers took Camarena to a house on a street called Lope de Vega, where witnesses said they put him on a bed in a guest house at the rear of the property and interrogated him about raids on the cartel’s supplies and the informants who helped lead agents to the drugs. They blindfolded him and, between questions, beat and burned him.
On April 2, 1990, Humberto Alvarez-Machain was forcibly kidnapped from his medical office in Guadalajara, México, to be flown to El Paso, Texas, where he was arrested by the DEA. Alvarez-Machain was a Mexican citizen. The Mexican government officially protested the kidnappings.
Federal prosecutors tried him for the crime in 1992 but the case was ultimately dismissed for lack of evidence. According to the UN’s reports on the matter, Alvarez-Machain allegedly conspired to commit, even though he may not have directly caused the death of the DEA agent in question. Before the District Court, Alvarez-Machin argued that the United States had no jurisdiction to apply and charge him with domestic laws for a crime that may or may not have allegedly been committed in Mexico.

After that event, the Mexican government incorporated the crime of treason into its criminal code to act against anyone who ‘kidnapped someone to deliver them to another country.’ Currently, there are at least 15 causes for which a person can be accused of treason in Mexico.

To play down reports of the purported meeting, Sinaloa State Prosecutors published a video of an apparent shooting during what they claimed was a botched robbery and/or carjacking attempt at a Pemex gas station. They said Cuén was killed there, not at the meeting site, where Zambada said Cuén was murdered.
While federal prosecutors stopped short of saying the gas station video was a faked, or the FGR did reject the version of Cuen’s death offered by Sinaloa authorities and continues to investigate.
