U.S. blacklists Mexican businesses tied to drug smuggling: "Happy Child is a front for Ismael 'El Mayo' Zambada, an alleged leader of the ruthless Sinaloa Cartel that moves tons of drugs to the United States and, along with other gangs, is fighting a bloody crime war that threatens to destabilize Mexico.
The day care is among a growing number of Mexican businesses that the United States has accused of being financed, owned or otherwise related to drug trafficking. Some of the businesses have been investigated by Mexican authorities and apparently given a clean bill of health, but are struggling to get the United States to lift sanctions it has imposed on them.
'It's been devastating for us; we don't have access to credit or anything else,' said María Teresa Zambada Niebla, a part owner of Happy Child. Zambada Niebla is El Mayo's daughter but says she is estranged from her father."
