Summary
U.S. prosecutors have charged Sinaloa Governor Rubén Rocha Moya and nine others with corruption, alleging they collaborated with Los Chapitos, the sons of El Chapo, to control the state. The governor is accused of accepting bribes and rigging his 2021 election. The cartels top dog, Ismael El Mayo Zambada, was kidnapped in a sting operation involving El Chapos son, Joaquín Guzmán López. The indictment reveals bribe ledgers and insider tips, with Guzmán López and his brother Ovidio cooperating. The scandal has sparked a civil war within the Sinaloa cartel and exposed the cartels influence in Mexican politics. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
