Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum announced that Mexico will request the United States to return part of the $15 billion in assets seized from convicted drug lord Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada. The funds, ordered for forfeiture by a New York court as proceeds of decades of narcotrafficking, would be sought to compensate for the damages caused by drug trafficking and to benefit Mexico's most impoverished populations. Sheinbaum emphasized the need for legal conditions to be met for the repatriation of these resources. Meanwhile, U.S. authorities have offered a $10 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Jesús Alfredo Guzmán Salazar, son of Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, who has been on the DEA's 10 most wanted list since 2018 for drug trafficking conspiracy charges.
