A judge in Arizona has ordered Serafin Zambata-Ortiz to be transferred to California “as soon as practical” to face federal drug-trafficking charges. He's accused of transporting 11 pounds or more or cocaine and methamphetamine from Mexico into the U.S.
Zambata-Ortiz is the U.S.-born son of Mexican drug kingpin Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, who is the number 2 leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, run by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.

Forbes estimates Guzman is worth over a billion dollars. His cartel currently supplies Chicago with 80% of illegal drugs flooding the streets of the city, according to Business Insider.
Zambata-Ortiz was caught last Wednesday. The 23-year old and his wife were trying to enter the U.S. at the Nogales Arizona Port of Entry, according to Nogales International.

As we previously reported, Mexican cartels have been using social media to interact with other members, track down and intimidate rivals, post pics of drug hauls and weapons.
Zambata-Ortiz is no different. He routinely posted photos of bundles of cash, weed, guns, wild animals and other items for his 21,500 followers to gawk at.
