His transfer from El Paso, Texas to Brooklyn indicates that he will likely be tried at the same federal courthouse where Joaquin \u201cEl Chapo\u201d Guzman Loera\u2014another co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel\u2014is serving a life sentence after his 2019 conviction on drug conspiracy charges. Although federal prosecutors in Texas advocated for Zambada&#8217;s trial to take place there, concerns from the Justice Department regarding security risks near the Mexican border led to this decision, according to the New York Times. <\/p>\n<p>Zambada was arrested in Texas last month after allegedly being lured onto a plane by El Chapo\u2019s son, Joaqu\u00edn Guzman Lopez\u2014a senior member of the Sinaloa Cartel\u2014and subsequently flown into the U.S., where federal agents were waiting for him. He faces multiple indictments across California, Illinois, New York, Texas, and Washington D.C., all related to significant violations of U.S. narcotics laws. Last month in Texas, Zambada pleaded not guilty to seven federal charges including continuing criminal enterprise and money laundering.<\/p>\n<p>For decades he has been involved in trafficking vast quantities of cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine and fentanyl into the United States while also being linked to numerous acts of violence. FBI Assistant Director David Sundberg highlighted these allegations when announcing charges against him for conspiring to manufacture and distribute fentanyl earlier this year. Prior to his arrest, there was a reward of up to $15 million offered by the U.S. government for information leading directly to his capture or conviction.
