The 76-year-old is the leader of Mexico's Sinaloa cartel, and is considered to be one of the world's biggest drug lords.

    Cartels are like corporations. When one leaves another takes its place

    This guy will go down as one of the Kings of Kingpins, distributed as the head of Sinaloa for 35 plus years. Then miraculously gets "lured" into a trap during his health reclining years in such an easy manner. Don't be fooled folks, he paid billions in bribes to some of your most coveted law enforcement agencies and bureaucracy institutes in order to live this evasive lifestyle

    Going on a jwt to Southern Mexico but flies North to Texas/New Mexico... I guess no one looked out the window and said "wait, why is the sun on the wrong side of the sky" 🤣

    😂😂 you are delusional if you think a reigning drug lord is stupid enough to get caught by getting tricked onto a plane.

    ⁠it’s not about free treatment. He’s sick probably doesn’t have a lot of time left. If you read the court transcript from his hearing yesterday, he’s in a wheelchair and couldn’t stand for long. It’s about him cutting a deal to see his kids one last time. El mayo lived his life on the down low. He was family oriented and wasn’t flashy. There wasn’t a single picture for 10 years. He for sure turned himself in. And el chapos sin turned himself in to free or maybe lower his brothers sentence. Cartel organizations aren’t dumb. They make moves and cut deals with world leaders. There’s proof of that too.
