In a significant crackdown on drug trafficking within Mexico, security forces have arrested a pilot known as "El Jando," who is suspected of working with the Los Chapitos cartel, led by the sons of infamous drug lord Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán. The pilot was taken into custody in Culiacán, a region heavily associated with cartel operations, following a security operation that resulted in the death of a soldier.

Mexican authorities apprehend a pilot linked to Los Chapitos, sparking further investigations on drug trafficking dynamics.
Intelligence indicates that "El Jando" is believed to be an essential player within Los Chapitos and may have connections to the apprehension of notorious cartel boss "El Mayo Zambada." His lawyers are currently seeking more time to prepare a defense as details surrounding the charges emerge.
The security minister revealed to the press that "El Jando," once a trusted pilot for the group's leadership, is also alleged to have been involved in drug and arms smuggling and attacks on law enforcement. Authorities are hopeful that he may provide crucial insight into the flight that transported "El Mayo" to U.S. federal agents, which was reportedly orchestrated by Joaquín Guzmán López—one of “El Chapo’s” sons.
U.S. officials say that Guzmán López deceived the seasoned kingpin "El Mayo," leading him onto a plane that crossed into the United States. After almost three decades of evading capture, "El Mayo" was arrested, and prominent figures within the cartel now fear infighting as divisions grow due to this betrayal. Discrepancies regarding the account of Guzmán López's actions have emerged, with conflicting statements from his legal representation suggesting that "El Mayo" was coerced into boarding the aircraft.
As investigations proceed, Mexican prosecutors are climbing the ranks of the cartel's command structure, determined to leverage "El Jando's" knowledge to stabilize the drug trade landscape disrupted by the recent betrayals. Both Guzmán López and "El Mayo" face severe legal battles in the U.S., exacerbating tensions with ongoing violence among rival factions in Sinaloa.
