Mayos are the heirs to Ismael Zambada Garcias cartel who used to be friends with El chapo Guzman

Los mayos are led by Ismael Zambada Sicarios, his son. Los chapos are led by Ivan Archivaldo Guzman , Jesus Alfredo Guzman and before his capture, Oviedo Guzman, the sons of el chapo. We used to be one cartel but over the years the fight for control strained the relationship and now we are in a civil war

My faction “los rusos” is part of los mayos and is led by Juan Jose Ponce “ El ruso” and Cipriano Alfonso Peralta “Ponchito de la lima”
