U.S. Won't Seek Death Penalty for Zambada, Caro Quintero, Carrillo Fuentes; Transfers 14 Mexican Inmates Saving $4 Million

The United States government has officially decided not to seek the death penalty against three prominent Mexican drug traffickers: Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada, Rafael Caro Quintero, and Vicente Carrillo Fuentes, also known as "El Viceroy." Zambada faces 17 charges related to alleged crimes committed between 1989 and 2024. Mexico's government, represented by Claudia Sheinbaum, has reiterated its opposition to the death penalty regardless of the crime or individual involved. In a related development, the U.S. Department of Justice transferred 14 Mexican inmates convicted of drug trafficking offenses to Mexico to complete their sentences. This transfer, which covers a total of 96 years of incarceration, is expected to save the U.S. government approximately $4 million in associated costs.
