Co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel is set to appear before Brian Cogan in a Brooklyn court, opening a new chapter in the judicial offensive against Mexican cartels

New York is ready for Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. After a historic sentence against Mexico’s former drug czar Genaro García Luna, the time has come for the co-founder and “boss of bosses” of the Sinaloa Cartel to face a Brooklyn court. The 76-year-old drug kingpin will on Friday face, for the first time, Judge Brian Cogan — the same judge who sentenced Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán in 2019 and García Luna this week.
