Zambada, 77, cofounded the Sinaloa Cartel with notorious drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman.
“El Mayo will spend the rest of his life behind bars. He will die in a US federal prison where he belongs,“ Bondi told a briefing flanked by prosecutors and federal agents in Brooklyn.
Zambada will avoid a trial because of the plea but will face a mandatory minimum term of life imprisonment without parole on a racketeering charge.
Zambada agreed to the forfeiture of 15 billion dollars of ill-gotten-gains as part of the plea deal, the Department of Justice said.
Last September, Zambada pleaded not guilty to 17 charges including murder and drug trafficking, particularly of fentanyl.
The Sinaloa Cartel is one of six Mexican drug trafficking groups that US President Donald Trump has designated as global “terrorist” organizations.
United States Attorney Justin R. Simmons said Monday that the Sinaloa cartel had engaged in a years-long war with the Juarez cartel on the US-Mexico border. – AFP
