Vicentillo Zambada: A Collaborator to the US, a Traitor to Mexico’s Drug Gangs

"El Choclo" for Borderland Beat

When Vicente Zambada Niebla was in prison, what he most liked to draw were superheroes. In the narrow confines of his cell in a federal prison in Chicago, the 46-year-old would draw pictures of Batman, Spider-Man and Superman like a child in a bedroom. It is hard to imagine whether the eldest son of one of the highest-ranking chiefs of the Sinaloa cartel, Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, managed to identify more with the heroes than the villains of those movies.

Vicentillo – a nickname he has never managed to shed despite his college graduate look and carefully manicured two-day beard and in the last photo taken during his detention – was born into the bosom of the most powerful drug cartel in the world and headed some of its biggest trafficking operations. He also ordered executions from the age of 22. He was 16 years old when the first attempt on his life was made. But what his enemies say about him is that he was a traitor, and there is no greater betrayal in the drug-trafficking underworld than working with the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

At the moment, although the US authorities have not specified his release date, Vicentillo is a free man. He is out of jail on condition that he will not travel to Mexico in the next five years and he cannot have any contact with any members of the Sinaloa cartel. Little more is known, after the authorities acknowledged the release to the television network Univisión, other than the fact that El Mayo’s son is no longer in a US federal jail. Vicentillo testified during the New York trial of drug lord Joaquín ”El Chapo” Guzmán and, as the first-born son of Zambada and a leading figure in the cartel before his arrest, he is also the main heir to one of the most powerful drug-trafficking networks in the world.

Vicentillo was arrested in March 2009 at one of his luxurious properties in El Pedregal, to the south of Mexico City. But even before then, his former lawyer told Mexican journalist Anabel Hernández for her book El traidor (or, The traitor) that he had been seeking to make a deal with the DEA. The situation in Mexico was becoming unsustainable. The war on drugs had littered the country with bodies but bloody turf wars between the Sinaloa cartel and the Arellano Félix gang, based in Tijuana, the Beltrán Leyvas (a Sinaloa splinter group) and Vicente Carrillo Fuentes’ organization had made doing business more and more difficult for a group accustomed to having the run of the house.

Vicente was willing to talk and his objective was to reveal the whereabout of his enemies. According to his own declarations in court, his testimony helped the authorities to kill or capture hundreds of Sinaloa cartel traffickers, members, associates and rivals, among them Arturo Beltrán Leyva and some members of the feared Zetas gang. Vicentillo was the DEA’s captive messenger, who served as a first-hand source for the agency and provided intelligence as to what was going on in the mountains of Sinaloa. In exchange, he was handed a 14-year sentence instead of life in prison, the standard sentence for a trafficker with his long list of crimes. That 14-year term has been gradually whittled down through good behavior and cooperation with the authorities.

The clearest example of that cooperation was his testimony against El Chapo in January 2019, when Vicentillo threw his colleague and a faithful friend of his family to the lions. Over five hours of testimony, Vicentillo was able to prove that he was familiar with Guzmán’s business and his personal retinue. He told the jury stories not only of El Chapo’s trafficking operations in Mexico, Honduras and Belize, but also about his suppliers, distributors, bodyguards, hitmen, cousins, brothers and children. He also implicated his father, who he said had a budget of up to $1 million a month for bribing officials. A Mexican Army general attached to the Secretariat of National Defense was paid $50,000 a month by the cartel, Vicentillo said. He added that his father also regularly bribed a member of the military who occasionally worked as a bodyguard for former Mexican President Vicente Fox.

“Vicente cold betray everyone, but never his father,” says Anabel Hernández in an interview with EL PAÍS. “His father was aware of his cooperation and even approved of it. It is not the first time the DEA has used such a strategy to catch drug traffickers or for their own ends. The same thing happened with Pablo Escobar years earlier. Vicentillo told his lawyer in a letter that it was El Chapo who gave him the contact to start his collaboration with the DEA in 2008.

On the day that Vicente Zambada was arrested he was just about to go to sleep. He had just messaged his wife and was under the covers when doors and windows were smashed in as the agents descended. A few hours earlier, he had been driving through the city in a top-range car with his team of bodyguards. And according to his version of events, laid out in another of his letters, he had just held a meeting with two DEA agents. “That night they arrested me, they betrayed me and I don’t know why. Th truth is I approached them of my own volition, in confidence, and I don’t know what happened,” he said in one of his letters, published in El traidor.

At that time, Vicentillo was not only the favored son of the powerful El Mayo Zambada. He was also a hugely influential figure in the Mexican drug trade and one of the three senior Sinaloa members responsible for giving orders, as he admitted to the authorities. After El Chapo’s first escape from jail in Puerto Grande (Jalisco) in 2001, El Mayo strengthened his relationship with the man who had until then been just another associate, a subordinate of the cartel chiefs of the 1990s, and together they raised up an empire on the back of violent battles with their rivals in the north of Mexico. “In 2001 I was another boss, I was the son of the cartel chief and I coordinated shipments across Central and South America. I handled corruption and manipulated people for my father everywhere in Mexico,” Vicentillo wrote his lawyer.

After his capture, Vicentillo created his own legend as a repentant drug baron. He portrayed himself as a 33-year-old man who had decided to retire from the criminal life and live in peace with his family. It was this picture Vicentillo presented during the various hearings on his case and it afforded him certain privileges in his criminal trial. Judge Rubén Castillo, who presided over the court that approved the reduction of his life sentence, acknowledged Vicentillo’s cooperation with the authorities: “If there is a so-called war on drugs, we have lost it. We have lost […] as far as I am concerned, you did not sell out El Chapo. I think it was the other way around. You cooperated with the United States of America. That is what happened. And if we didn’t have cooperators, the Department of Justice simply would not win cases. Perhaps we have lost the war on drugs, but we cannot afford ourselves the luxury of losing the war on crime,” said Castillo before handing down the ruling.

The question now is what will happen when Vicentillo is fully free again: whether he will return to the mountains of Sinaloa to take the reins of his father’s criminal empire, shaken after the jailing of his friend El Chapo, or if he will remain firm in his stated desire to live a quiet life. “The big doubt is human decision. Whether ambition does not win out, whether the thirst for power does not win out. Because his relationship of dependence with his father is very strong. If El Mayo were to say to him: ‘I need you here.’ What will he do?” wonders Hernández. In the meantime, El Mayo remains on the DEA’s most-wanted list and, unlike the majority of his associates, he has never been arrested.

      The *rumors* are not lies, they have been reported in print since there's no way knowing if there was a deal or not. His attorney has said there wasn't so that means he wasn't offered a deal in order to snitch. He may be a man to you but not for me.

  7. When you get involved in drug trafficking, gangs, organized crime, you deal with shady, manipulative, grimey ass individuals. There's no loyalty amongst crooks and thieves. Anything and everything goes. Only fools play by the rules in a life where the rules only apply to the upper echelon. Those that stay "loyal" get caught up in jams and taken out. Its a dog eat dog world.. survival of the fittest, by any means necessary. So it's either betray, or get betrayed. No "ands" "ifs" or "buts".

    4. @2:21 I said the same thing on the "EL CUINI" article when you ding dongs were trying to call him a rat. You mongolitos don't get it. The same rules don't apply to those at the top. Doesn't matter if you're a Zeta, Sinaloense, Michoacano, or government for that matter. The top dogs can snitch on anyone because the LEADERS of those criminal organizations hold the power. Those that play by the rules can be loyal throughout their whole criminal career and get thrown under the bus or taken out at the snap of a finger by those they were loyal too. Let me repeat it one more time for you tontito, When you get involved in drug trafficking, gangs, organized crime, you deal with shady, manipulative, grimey ass individuals. There's no loyalty amongst crooks and thieves.

      @4:04 nobody is trying to justify anything here, just letting you cheerleaders and fan boys know how it is. Is Vicentillo a rat? YES, they all are. From Sinaloa all the way down to Michoacan and from Michoacan all the way down to Colombia. All Rats and anyone under them is RAT FOOD.

      There is no Chapos Mayos beef, you have any idea how big of a war that would of been if that were to happen. Different cells always fight each other. Whoever thinks Mayo gives a fuck enough about Ruso to start a war is dumb. Mayo let El Ondeado get killed when he was causing problems. Gunmen make for good drama and story lines, but nobody is going to go war for them. The very nature of their job makes them expendable.

    4. As long as his father & most of his brothers are still alive or free he will not get touched... I’m sure Chapitos didn’t enjoy hearing testimony against their father, but like it’s been pointed out, he was probably going to get locked up for life so why not get the deal...? I’m sure any narco (except Mochomo) would probably take that short sentence if it only cost a former comrade if he was going to prison for life anyway... if he had no protection then Chapitos would def kill him right away...

    5. Hold Deez. Nuts, there is no justification for ratting. If it wasn’t wrong, Mochomo would have done it. Chapitos definitely aren’t just cool about it. There is already infighting and Mayo did not help them when ratón was caught. It’s only a matter of time before the old fart rat mayo passes and when he does it’s a wrap for zambada rat clan. From there it’ll be a domino effect for CDS associates loyal to chapo Zambadas

It is a very common in Mexico for people to do this, I guess it's a way of teasing the name. I am not sure if this makes sense, but it's the best I could describe it.

  22. These comments are so crazy lol this was a great article and yes he snitched but that was his ticket out of the game, his father is el Mayo look at chapos sons they will die or be arrested one day they have no way out same with a lot of family members that deeply involved, I think Vicente is smart he knew nothing last forever so he tried to get out, he did his time and now has the protection of the USA government, he really can live a peaceful life now in the USA, I’m curious too if he will stay in Usa or decide to return to his family

  23. Funny thing is people forget he said he had permission to traffic narcotics to the states directly from the CIA. He asked they (CIA) testify on his behalf in order to get the DEA off his ass… I’m sure the CIA helped with getting him that sweet sentence. He only “snitched” on chapo and his dad in order to further bury the fact that CDS has/had CIA contacts and negotiations… people forget that thank to the media and American National Security. Don’t forget the $2B forfeiture. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mayo and Chapo pay piso directly to CIA.

    7. When he was first arrested he stated that his cartel had a deal with gringos, and asked for the gringos to tell the courts about thier dealings. That was quickly hush hushed and he never mentioned it again I wonder why hmmmmm maybe the great deal they offered him to keep his mouth shut.

  26. @1:12 & 1:45 if you really believe a billion or 2 of cold hard cash and properties were actually turned over to the government to pay the fine then I don't know what to tell you. Not even Chino completely paid the million dollar fine that was imposed on him.

    1. Well maybe cos Chino is dead, the government does payment plans and best believe they collect or re inprison you, unless you escape or die

    2. What happened was the snitch factions won the war and that sealed the states destiny. It’d be a different story if Arturo won the war and was at the helm of CDS

  29. So if he is not allowed to go home to Mexico for 5 years did they give him a damn green card??

  30. I might be wrong but I think mayo figured out chapos war on other cartels was a massive failure and clearly destabilized the country making it more dangerous and hotter to run a drug enterprise. He clearly wanted his family sons safe and the only way was with an arrangement with the dea for his sons to be safe , do a lil time and and keep some of the wealth. El viejo tiene mucho colmillo

  31. Why don't my comments ever get posted? I've been a faithful reader for years and my comments are never approved. Most of my comments are valid, I'm not on here to stir controversy yet I always get suppressed and ignored. 😪
