Ismael Zambada , leader of Mexico 's powerful Sinaloa cartel, is being prosecuted in the U.S. He was arrested last summer and his son could testify against him if he goes to trial.

Zambada 's son Vicente Zambada was charged himself and made a plea deal in the long-running prosecutions of cartel figures.

A judge scheduled an April 22 hearing for an update on the discussions.

The outgoing U.S. ambassador to Mexico , Ken Salazar , responded that it was "incomprehensible" to suggest the cartel wars were Washington 's fault. He subsequently asserted that the Mexican government had stopped cooperating with Washington on fighting cartels and was sticking its head in the sand about violence and police corruption. Mexico 's foreign ministry reacted by expressing "surprise" in a formal note to the U.S. embassy about the envoy's statement..
