On July 25, 2024, a private plane touched down at a small airfield in New Mexico. On board was a ghost: Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, co-founder of the Sinaloa Cartel, a man who had eluded authorities for more than four decades. Also on the plane was Joaquín Guzmán López, son of El Mayo’s former partner El Chapo Guzmán. Two of the world’s most wanted men were now in US custody.
Was it a kidnapping, a betrayal, or a secret deal?
The Fall of El Mayo, a three-part documentary series from Muck Media, reconstructs what happened through exclusive testimony, never-before-seen archival footage, and hundreds of court records from Mexico and the United States, with voices from both sides of the border.
