Elements of the Army, the National Guard and the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic seized three properties and 46 vehicles in Durango belonging to the La Mayiza faction of the Sinaloa Cartel.
The searches were carried out on June 21 and 22 in the capital of Durango, based on information shared by the United States National Security Investigations Office. Among the seized assets, tractors with trailers for transporting fuel, all-terrain vehicles and pick-up trucks, as well as weapons, chargers and ammunition of multiple calibers stand out.
The Secretariat of National Defense reported that what was seized was made available to the FGR to continue with the investigations and determine the final destination of the assets. The criminal group is led by Ismael Zambada Sicairos, “El Mayito Flaco”.
