El Chapo’s son pleads guilty; prosecutors detail Zambada abduction, say no cooperation credit for kidnapping
7d Developing 7
Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán López pleaded guilty in federal court in Chicago to drug‑trafficking and continuing‑criminal‑enterprise charges, admitting he helped oversee production and smuggling of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, marijuana and fentanyl into the United States. Prosecutors said he orchestrated the abduction of Sinaloa capo Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada — removing glass so armed men could seize, hood and zip‑tie him, sedate him on a private plane and fly him to a New Mexico airport — and clarified the U.S. did not sanction the kidnapping and Guzmán López will not receive cooperation credit for that act, despite otherwise cooperating; he was arrested in July 2024 after landing on a private jet in Texas.
