Overview

• Claudia Sheinbaum said there is currently no proof implicating federal officials or members of the armed forces in alleged bribes linked to Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada.
• She emphasized that cases move forward when formal complaints and verifiable evidence exist, describing the criminal-investigation work as permanent.
• Omar García Harfuch reported no military personnel implicated to date and said recent detentions connected to organized crime have involved municipal and state police.
• Sheinbaum said Mexico would request repatriation of any resources the United States seizes from Zambada, with proceeds intended for vulnerable populations through INDEP.
• The statements follow reports that Zambada agreed in a U.S. plea to a $15 billion payment and potential forfeiture, as Sheinbaum also cited ongoing U.S.–Mexico coordination on anti–money‑laundering and domestic seizures totaling 50,303 million pesos.
