FBI director Kash Patel has called Wedding the new El Chapo. The former Sinaloa cartel leader was extradited from Mexico to the U.S. in 2017 and remains in prison. An armoured truck from the Sinaloa State Police rolls to a crime scene in Culiacán on Dec. 10. “I don’t think the Sinaloa cartel could be protecting him right now because the cartel is going through circumstances that could lead to its collapse,” he said. The Sinaloa cartel has had a presence in Canada for at least 25 years and is involved in everything from cocaine to methamphetamine and fentanyl trafficking, said the cartel operative.
