Through a statement the U.S. Department of Justice noted that, "members of the public can anonymously report fugitives and other criminal activity at DEA.gov. If someone is in imminent danger, call 911 or local law enforcement immediately."

"You can also send a tip to the US Marshals Service (USMS) about wanted fugitives, or send an email to the USMS tip line [e-mail]," DEA added, noting that "the fugitive may be armed and dangerous. Do not attempt to apprehend this individual."

Likewise, the U.S. Department of Justice agency published a fact sheet with Ismael Zambada Sicairos' general information, including his alias, "Mayito Flaco," and the crimes for which he is wanted: "Wanted for the following alleged federal violations. Conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance 21 USC 846."

Mayito Flaco & El Salado: The Suspicious Story They Don’t Want to Talk About

Authorities brought four vehicles with mounted guns and a troop transport truck to a small town in rural Sinaloa. After soldiers were attacked and chased, they managed to find five vehicles, some which were worth more than $100k, which were all abandoned and left with their doors open.


Let's look at the suspicious circumstances and how they may relate to the rumors of Mayito Flaco’s involvement.

A Game of Telephone

There's a rumor on the streets of Culiacan this week that Sinaloa Cartel’s Mayito Flaco was almost caught by soldiers in Lo de Clemente, a small town in Sinaloa.

Now, cartel-related rumors are usually untrue and it's no mystery as to why. Cartel groups will sometimes seed rumors in order to muddy the waters and cast doubt on their rivals. Cartel fanboys are quick to spread misinformation and propaganda on social media if it makes a rival group look bad.

In many ways, there are more bad-faith actors than legitimate truth-seekers involved in the cartel rumor mill. But here's something that's undoubtedly true: In Mexico, soldiers and law enforcement officers are regularly paid off by cartel groups.

This is not the talk of conspiracy theorists, it is more a fact of life.

When an important cartel figure is caught, he might offer the arresting police officers (or soldiers) a large sum of money in exchange for quietly releasing them and reporting that the capo got away.

It's worth considering, if something like that happened, what kind of explanation would authorities give if the media questioned them about the incident?

And what type of illicit assets would a capo hand over to authorities so they seized it and walk away claiming to have "struck a blow against organized crime"?
