“Sol Prendido” for Borderland Beat
Regarding the Sinaloa Cartel case in the United States, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada is seeking to avoid serving his sentence in a maximum-security prison.
Today, he asked Judge Brian Cogan to be housed in a medical correctional facility rather than the Supermax prison in Colorado.
“El Mayo’s” defense team stated that their client is facing several health issues requiring supervision. It’s worth noting that “El Mayo” is scheduled to be sentenced on July 20, and he is expected to receive a life sentence.
