A major milestone in the US-Mexico war on crime is set to unfold in Brooklyn federal court, where notorious Sinaloa cartel cofounder Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada may face a life sentence. El Mayo, 76, has been a key figure in the cartel's rise to power, evading capture for decades despite being one of the most wanted men in Mexico. His trial, which has been shrouded in secrecy, is expected to reveal new details about the cartel's inner workings and its connections to international organized crime. If convicted, El Mayo will likely spend the rest of his life behind bars, dealing a significant blow to the Sinaloa cartel's operations.
