It's sentencing day for Ismael Zambara Garcia, aka El Mayo, the Sinaloa Cartel kingpin captured two years previous.

A man who instills fear and respect across North America, but physically a shadow of his former self.

Maio, 76, is drawn, gone, his formerly dyed black hair and mustache replaced by a snowy white beard.

Ay cabron, Maio utters, ah shit, as he sinks into his chair, suggesting he's having trouble even moving.

Mobility, however, might be the least of his problems.

In August 2025, Maio had pleaded out to a raft of charges that would make Tony Montana blush.

Racketeering, conspiracy, continuing criminal enterprise, the headlines among 17 drug trafficking and violence raps.

Given the weight of evidence against him, it was either life or lethal injection.

Mayo chose life.

Judge Brian Kogan is ready to hand out Mayo's sentencing.

Before that, though, the narco has a short sermon planned.

I did not go to trial because I did not want to deny the truth, he says.

Then, acknowledging the narco-civil conflict that has raged since his arrest, he adds, quote, Too many lives are lost.

It destroys families.

It thrusts youths into a life without a future.

Nobody will win this war.

Kogan then reads out the old man's sentence.

Life without the possibility of parole.

Plus a $15 billion forfeiture, the second highest in US legal history, behind the 171 billion copped by fraudster Bernie Madoff in 2010.

Journalists scribble everything furiously in their notepads.
