Los Rugrats: 19 Arrests, an FBI Manhunt, and the Money Behind the Sinaloa Cartel
In October 2026, Mexican authorities arrested at least nineteen alleged members of Los Rugrats, an armed organization associated with the Sinaloa Cartel faction loyal to Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada.

With an FBI wanted notice, a federal indictment, and allegations involving hundreds of millions of dollars in criminal proceeds, this investigation reaches far beyond Mexico. This episode connects the Sinaloa cartel war to documented American federal investigations, with crossovers to FBI Cases, White Collar Crime, and Organized Crime.
