A former leader of the Sinaloa Cartel has been sentenced in the United States for narcotics trafficking. The individual, known as Mayo Zambada, will serve a life sentence. Instead of being sent to a maximum-security prison, the judge has ordered Mayo Zambada to a medical facility.

This decision means he will avoid the same type of prison as another notable cartel leader. Further details about the sentencing and Mayo Zambada's situation can be found through El País México, which reported on the development. The specifics of the case and the reasoning behind the judge's decision are available through this source.
