A former member of the "Mara Salvatrucha" told Univision how he and at least 24 other gang members were trained by the Sinaloa Cartel to fight Los Zetas; a former member of the U.S. Navy trained them.

Azucena Uresti: A former member of the gang known as the Mara Salvatrucha told Univision how he and at least 24 other gang members were trained by the Sinaloa Cartel to fight Los Zetas. In his words, they were out of control in 2016. It was allegedly a former member of the US Navy who trained them.

Pedro: El Chapo sent a communiqué to the Mara in Los Angeles that he needed, you could say, support so that we could confront the Zetas cartel because they were already out of control.

Female Reporter: A member of the Mara Salvatrucha gang in California told the Univision news network how the Sinaloa Cartel recruited and trained gang members to defend their territory and their drug shipments in that country.
