00:00We will not rest until Americans are safe from these narco terrorists. Thanks to our law
00:08enforcement officers both here and in Mexico who often put their lives on the line every single day
00:18to protect us and to get these violent leaders off the streets. We are not done yet at President
00:26Trump's direction. We will continue to fight until every single cartel boss is behind bars
00:35and on American soil and in American prisons for the rest of their lives. Thank you.
00:48Thank you, Attorney General Bondi. As you've heard a short time ago, Ismael Zimbada Garcia,
00:55known as El Mayo, pled guilty here in the Eastern District of New York to being the
00:59leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, the largest drug trafficking organization in the world.
01:06Among other things, he admitted to leading a continuing criminal enterprise and to RICO
01:12conspiracy charges. This is an historic day. With today's plea, the Sinaloa Cartel has been
01:20decapitated. Its two founders and leaders, Joaquin El Chapo Guzman, also known as El Chapo,
01:29and now El Mayo, both stand convicted. These defendants built a criminal empire in Sinaloa,
01:37Mexico. Their cartel grew like it was a cancer throughout the hemisphere. They flooded the United
01:44States with deadly drugs, including cocaine, heroin, methamphetamine, and then fentanyl.
01:52El Mayo was first indicted in the Eastern District of New York in 2009, and we continued to add charges,
02:00including, as the Attorney General mentioned, fentanyl trafficking right up until this very year.
02:05As a result of his conviction, El Mayo faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility
02:12of parole. This conviction is also a testament to the unrelenting determination of the prosecutors
02:21and the law enforcement agents who would never stop seeking to bring El Mayo to justice.
02:26As our Attorney General has pointed out, the plea marks the conclusion of a decades-long effort by
02:34hardworking and dedicated public servants across the United States. I want to thank the prosecution
02:41team from the Eastern District of New York, Assistant United States Attorneys Francisco Navarro,
02:48Robert Pollack, Adam Amir, Lauren Bowman, and Rebecca Urkele. In addition to the United States Attorney's
02:58Office in the Southern District of Florida and the United States Attorney's Office for the Western
03:02District of Texas, both of whom are here with us today, I also want to acknowledge the important
03:08contributions of the U.S. Attorney's Offices for the Northern District of Illinois, the Southern
03:13District of California, and the Central District of California. I would also like to thank our American
03:19law enforcement partners at the FBI, Homeland Security, and the DEA, along with numerous other
03:26law enforcement agents throughout the government. I would also like to thank our counterparts in the
03:32Mexican government. Finally, I gratefully acknowledge the presence here today of Frank Tarantino from the
03:39DEA, Ricky Patel from Homeland Security, and Philip Bates from the FBI. I'm now going to ask Acting
03:47Assistant Attorney General Matthew Gagliotti to say a few words.
03:50Thank you, United States Attorney Nocella. Good afternoon. My name is Matthew Gagliotti and I'm the
04:05Acting Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal Division and a former Assistant United States
04:10Attorney here in the Eastern District of New York. Today marks another milestone in the Department of
04:16Justice's relentless efforts towards the total elimination of cartels. One of the most notorious
04:21narco terrorists of all time, Ismail Elmayo Zambada, was convicted in a United States courtroom,
04:28having confessed to more than three decades of crime in service to the ruthless Sinaloa cartel.
04:35For decades, the Sinaloa cartel under Elmayo's leadership made billions of dollars by importing
04:43dangerous drugs to the United States, intensifying the drug epidemic in our communities by flooding
04:50our streets with cocaine, heroin, and ultimately fentanyl. Today, Elmayo admitted to crimes of a staggering
04:58scope, including leading a sprawling criminal enterprise that distributed more than 1.5 million kilograms of
05:05cocaine in addition to other drugs. He made corrupt payments to operate with impunity and he protected
05:12Sinaloa's operations by ordering acts of extreme heinous violence, leaving a trail of human suffering,
05:20including innocent victims in his wake. Pursuant to his guilty plea, Elmayo will spend the rest of his
05:26life in prison and owes $15 billion in forfeiture to the United States. Results like this are not
05:34possible without the prosecutors and agents who have done an extraordinary job building the case
05:39piece by piece and seeing it through to completion. This is another significant result under Attorney General
05:48Bondi's leadership in the department's unparalleled drive to eliminate cartels. As part of that effort,
05:54we have seen more than 50 high-ranking cartel members expelled to face justice in American courtrooms,
06:00collectively one of the greatest takedowns in United States law enforcement history. Other leaders have been
06:06charged as foreign terrorist organization leaders and members have been charged as well. We continue to pursue
06:14these individuals to make them see justice in a United States courtroom. As Acting Assistant Attorney
06:20General, I want to thank all of our law enforcement partners and I'll briefly flag in particular trial
06:25attorneys Jace Bourne and Kirk Handrich, as well as all of the U.S. Attorney and law enforcement partners with us.
06:33The Attorney General has made clear that the department's goal is eradicating the harms caused by cartels
06:40in American communities and the department is quickly making historic progress towards achieving just that.
06:48Thank you. It's my honor to introduce DEA Administrator Terry Cole.
06:56Thank you, Matt. Madam Attorney General, thank you for your law enforcement support.
07:02Thank you for the care and attention you've given to our police officers every single day
07:08and thank you for your leadership. My name is Terry Cole. I'm the Administrator of DEA. I'm a career 1811
07:16Criminal Investigator with DEA. And when I joined this case years ago, we were sometimes told we were
07:22chasing shadows. Legends of men who believed they were untouchable. One of those men was El Mayo.
07:30However, today, as you heard, he stood in a U.S. courtroom. He said those words that change everything.
07:42Guilty. This is just not another plea.
07:46It's a collapse of a myth that leaders of cartels are beyond the reach of American justice.
07:55Today, we prove once again, no one is beyond our reach.
08:00I've seen firsthand the families who've lost sons, daughters, brothers, sisters to fentanyl,
08:09pushed by Sinaloa and El Mayo.
08:12When he admits guilt, it's not just words on a page. It is an acknowledgement of those lives stolen
08:23by his empire. This case was built brick by brick across continents. It began in 2020 at a targeting
08:33meeting that I attended here in New York. From there, the New York field division, the men and women
08:41standing to my right from all federal agencies pursued relentlessly every single member of the Sinaloa
08:51Cartel, along with our agents in Bogota, along with agents in Madrid and our partners at HSI and the FBI,
09:02and our partners at EDNY and the other federal agencies, prosecutors that we've mentioned.
09:10Our agents just did not build a case. They carried the memories of U.S. citizens.
09:15Juan Carlos Garcia, who was murdered by the Sinaloa Cartel in 2015. Every interview, every wiretap,
09:27every sleepless night was for justice. It was for justice for those families who have lost their kids
09:35to the Sinaloa Cartel. Our global partnerships develop the ultimate blow.
09:45We did this by leaning on our powers of partnerships in New York, to Bogota, to Madrid, to Washington.
09:54We tore down walls between prosecutors, investigators, and analysts. We didn't care who got credit.
10:03The only thing we wanted was the truth. It's the same model we used when we took down Garcia Luna,
10:12when we took down Chapo, and as we continue to dismantle RCQ. It's a model of dismantlement of the
10:23cartels today. Dismantling cartels, we just didn't go after the drugs. We went after the decision makers,
10:31the financiers, the killers who directed violence with a single phone call. This is how we dismantle
10:41cartels at the highest level. Global cooperation. DEA is not just an American agency. It's the world's
10:52most trusted partner to fight against cartels and synthetic drugs. This case proves what happens
11:01when we work together as one. The illicit finance. These complex historical conspiracies are where DEA
11:09thrives, following the money, listening to cooperators, and turning intelligence into courtroom-packed truce.
11:20Every plea is more than a headline. It's one less pipeline of poison into our neighborhoods.
11:27It is one more life saved from a fentanyl overdose. I've stood in too many homes where parents and their
11:36children keep memories of those that are lost. Today's guilty plea doesn't bring those kids back,
11:46but it sends a message to the cartels, to the world, and to families who still grieve. DEA will not stop.
11:55We will hunt the heads of these organizations. We will tear apart their networks, and we will bring them
12:02to justice. One member at a time by the men and women over to my right. The finest career law
12:12enforcement investigators in the world. Thank you.
12:24Good afternoon, Madam Attorney General. Administrator Cole, thank you for the remarks.
12:30Good afternoon, everybody. My name is Derek Gordon. I'm the Acting Executive Associate Director for
12:34Homeland Security Investigations. Today marks an historic day in pursuit of justice for the countless
12:39victims Temvado's regime of terror created. For over 30 years, he yielded unchecked power at the highest
12:46levels of the Mexican drug cartels in the trafficking world, leaving a legacy of corruption, violence,
12:53and devastation behind. Indicted 16 times over two decades, he continued a criminal enterprise that
13:01shamelessly peddled death. Together with El Chapo, he transformed the Sinaloa cartel
13:08into one of the largest, most violent drug trafficking organizations in the world. Under his control,
13:15the cartel became synonymous with public corruption, the generation of billions of dollars from
13:20trafficking fentanyl, the unimaginable bloodshed, acts of outright terrorism that devastated communities
13:26and countless lives. Today, he stands defenseless because of the relentless investigative efforts
13:34of HSI, FBI, DEA, and the Department of Justice. His guilty plea is not just a milestone in Americans'
13:41fight against the Sinaloa cartel. It's a victory for the victims whose lives were shattered by his ruthless
13:48regime. But we are far from finished. HSI special agents working alongside our law enforcement
13:56counterparts have dedicated decades to investigating foreign terrorist organizations for the sake of
14:02uncovering, disrupting, and ultimately dismantling them until they are completely wiped off the face of the
14:10earth by any means necessary. With today's victory, our fight continues with renewed privacy. Thank you very
14:17much. And I'll turn it over to my colleague, Chad Yarborough from the FBI.
14:20Chad Yarborough Thank you, Derek. Well, good afternoon. My name is Chad Yarborough. I'm the
14:29operations director for the FBI, and I oversee our cartel efforts. Today's landmark guilty plea of Ismail
14:37Elmayo Zimbada marks a significant step forward in our ongoing fight against transnational organized crime
14:44and the deadly narcotics trade that threatens communities across this country. The guilty plea
14:49is not only a win for our communities, but a testament to the FBI's commitment to crush violent crime,
14:55to target cartels and gang activity under Attorney General Bondi. I want to take a few minutes to
15:01highlight our partners' extensive efforts throughout this investigation. And I can't do that without
15:07mentioning our law enforcement partners at DEA and HSI and DOJ, who are working tirelessly together to
15:16disrupt and dismantle these violent criminal networks. This case is the result of that close
15:21collaboration and years of deliberate efforts by our partners and the FBI both here and in Mexico. For
15:29decades, the Sinaloa cartel has been one of the primary drivers of illegal narcotics flowing into the United States.
15:35When this investigation began, our Washington DC field office was able to identify with our partners,
15:42the cartel's two main leaders, Zimbada and Joaquin El Chapo Guzman. After Guzman's arrest in 2016, Zimbada
15:50continued to lead the Mayo faction of the Sinaloa cartel, which was responsible for trafficking multi-ton
15:56quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine, and fentanyl, which killed thousands and thousands of our citizens in the United States.
16:05And in 2024, the FBI and our partners here were able to arrest Zimbada, which has led to this guilty plea today.
16:14Let me be clear. The guilty plea is not the end of this fight. The Sinaloa cartel may think that
16:20they're powerful and mighty, but rest assured, we are all up here because we have one goal in mind,
16:26and that is the destruction of the Sinaloa cartel. Now, I want the communities to know not even the most
16:32senior leaders of this cartel and others can escape accountability. Let this be a message to all
16:38violent criminals and members of the cartels that the FBI, DEA, HSI and DOJ will leverage everything we
16:45have, all of our resources and all of our expertise to bring these individuals to justice and safeguard
16:52our communities. Thank you.
16:53Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon, Madam Attorney General. Thank you for your leadership
17:04and your support. I'm Jason Redding Quinones, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of
17:09Florida. For more than three decades, Ismael and Mayo Zimbada Garcia commanded one of the most
17:16violent criminal organizations in the world. Under his direction, the Sinaloa cartel used
17:23vast resources to bribe officials, intimidate rivals, torture their enemies, and murder witnesses,
17:30all to push poison in our community. That ends today. With his guilty plea, and Mayo now faces a mandatory
17:39life sentence in federal prison. He will never again lead a cartel that fueled addiction, spread
17:46violence, and tore apart families on both sides of our border. Let me be clear to anyone who thinks
17:53they will take his place. We will find you. We will extradite you. We will prosecute you,
18:00and we will bring you to justice.
18:02I stand here shoulder to shoulder with our law enforcement partners, and I'm humbled by their
18:09extraordinary work. For years, agents and prosecutors quietly built this case, piece by piece,
18:17fact by fact, not for glory, but for justice. For justice for the thousands of victims left in the wake of
18:26Amayo's reign of terror. Because of their courage, we are here today. I commend each of them. I especially
18:35recognize my assistant United States Attorneys, Andrea Goldbarg and Monique Botero for their relentless
18:42pursuit of justice. It's now my honor to introduce the U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Texas,
18:49Justin Simmons. Good afternoon. My name is Justin Simmons. I am the United States Attorney for the
18:57Western District of Texas. I want to thank you, General Bondi, for your support. Thank President
19:02Trump as well for his support in this case and many other cases like it that we will continue to bring.
19:08They provided the resources and, again, the support that was needed to make a day like today happen.
19:13Ismail Zimbada Garcia, in partnership with El Chapo Guzman, led the Sinaloa cartel for decades.
19:20In so doing, they brought millions of kilos of drugs into the United States. In so doing, they also
19:29imprisoned millions of Americans within the gray walls of addiction. Millions of their own countrymen
19:35within the gray walls of violence and fear. Now, he will spend the rest of his life behind
19:43walls of stone and steel. The Western District of Texas was especially affected by the activities
19:50of the Sinaloa cartel. You see, Juarez and El Paso are connected. Thousands of people every day
19:57cross through the various points of entries that connect the two cities and the two countries.
20:02Thousands used to cross illegally every day between the two countries. That's not happening so much
20:08anymore. Juarez affects El Paso. And so in 2008, when the Sinaloa cartel started fighting with the
20:17Juarez cartel to take control of that area, 10,000 people were killed on the Mexican side.
20:26U.S. citizens, at least one U.S. citizen, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered. And stray gunfire
20:33being fired in Juarez came across to El Paso. So those things that were going on, that were the
20:39product of the Sinaloa cartel's desire to take over that area directly affected people of the Western
20:45District and in El Paso in particular. So in April 2012, AUSAs in El Paso brought charges against El
20:54Mayo, Chapo, and 22 other members of the Sinaloa cartel. I want to take a moment to personally thank
21:01AUSA Tony Franco and AUSA Kyle Myers for their work on this case. One of those charges that he pled
21:09guilty to today was part of that indictment, part of that 2012 indictment. So this really has come full
21:15circle for us in the Western District of Texas as well. But really today's not about the Western
21:21District of Texas. It's not about the Eastern District of New York, the Southern District of
21:26Florida, or any other district. It's about the government of the people, by the people, and for
21:32the people delivering on a promise. A promise to eradicate Mexican drug cartels. That's what we're
21:38doing. And we're doing that so Americans can live freely, enjoy liberty, and pursue happiness. This is
21:46part of us delivering on that promise. And with that, I'll bring up Mr. Nocella once again.
21:56Thank you. I want to thank everybody for coming. That concludes our press announcement. There will be
22:04no further proceedings and there are no questions, but I ask that everybody please remain in your seats
22:11as our speakers exit the room. Thank you.
22:15Nothing on the cartels for the work that the DBA did. We have questions about that.
22:21We'll take, wait, we can take a, you all have stayed here all afternoon. We'd be glad to take a couple
22:27questions. Sure. Wait, let me get him in the back of the room first. Go ahead.
22:31Thank you so much. So on that point, I know it's relevant to the cartels.
22:35I'll take like four questions.
22:55Yeah, if you couldn't hear you ask about following the money. Following the money is
22:58always part of any of these criminal cases. That's how we're able to track and find them. I mean,
23:04this guy Elmayo was living like a king and now he's living like a criminal for the rest of his life.
23:10He was living in a palace and now he's going to be in a prison. So following the money is how we solve
23:16these cases. Terry, do you want to add a couple words to that with DEA?
23:19Absolutely. So thank you, Madam Attorney General. There is a large cash seizure associated with this
23:27forfeiture that we will, that we will get out here shortly. But more importantly,
23:33our work with the Mexican government is not done. Similar.
