Jesus Zambada, brother of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada took the stand in the trial of El Chapo this afternoon as a cooperative witness and pointed out El Chapo as one of the leaders of the Sinaloa Cartel.

Zambada gave testimony affirming that El Chapo operated the cartel with his brother El Mayo.

He testified that he began his cartel career as an accountant, he also stated that before his 2008 arrest he was a Sinaloa cartel lieutenant, describing his role in the cartel as “the leader in Mexico City.”

He claims that El Chapo operated a staging warehouse in Mexico City, as a stopping point for cocaine flown in from Colombia. Further stating that the cartel controlled the airport in Mexico City, paying off the government to conduct business untouched.

Interesting the statement about paying off the government, because that was a point of contention by prosecutors when defense attorney Lichtman made the statement in his opening argument.

This morning Lichtman attempted to explain away the infamous Sean Penn El Chapo video, saying it was all about vanity when Chapo said he was the Sinaloa Cartel leader. He was aiming for a book and film about himself.
