Vicente Zambada Niebla

Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla, a.k.a. El Vicentillo, is a drug trafficker of the Mexican Sinaloa Cartel. He was arrested in Mexico City on 19 March 2009 and extradited to the United States in February 2010 to stand trial on narco-trafficking-related charges.

Zambada is charged with trafficking more than a billion dollars in cocaine and heroin.

However, Zambada claims that he is covered by an immunity deal between Mexico and the U.S., and that, because Sinaloa Cartel leaders provided federal agents with information about rival drug gangs, he should go free. As revealed in a 2013 plea bargain deal which was made public by a U.S. District Court in 2014, Zambada admitted coordinating smuggling tons of cocaine and heroin with "El Chapo" Joaquín Guzmán Loera and agreed to forfeit assets of $1.37 billion to the US government. The plea bargain resulted in a fine of $4 million and 10 years in prison. He is considered a top potential witness against "El Chapo."

Jesus Vicente Zambada Niebla is the son of Ismael Zambada Garcia (alias, “El Mayo”), one of the top leaders of the Sinaloa drug-trafficking organization. He is also the brother of Midiam Patricia Zambada who is also in the Sinaloa Cartel narco business.
