In return for Zambada's cooperation, the government recommended more lenient sentencing guidelines and that measures be taken to ensure his family's safety.

==Charges==
Zambada is charged with trafficking more than a billion dollars in cocaine and heroin.
However, Zambada claims that he is covered by an immunity deal between Mexico and the U.S., and that, because Sinaloa Cartel leaders provided federal agents with information about rival drug gangs, he should go free.<ref>[http://abclocal.go.com/wls/story?section=news/iteam&id=8380490 ''Mexican druglord imprisoned in Chicago will be moved.''] 6 October 2011.

The plea bargain resulted in a fine of $4 million and 10 years in prison. He is considered a top potential witness against "El Chapo."

Zambada’s lawyers declared that he could not be prosecuted by the United States, because, they claimed, he had been secretly working as an informant for the Drug Enforcement Administration, even as he smuggled tons of cocaine across the border. In fact, according to his counsel, Zambada had been assured by his contacts at the D.E.A. that, in exchange for providing them with intelligence about the drug trade in Mexico, he would be guaranteed immunity against prosecution for his own role in the business.<ref> The New Yorker, April 10, 2014, "A Billion-Dollar “Narco Junior” Cuts a Deal"</ref><ref>BBC Two Program "
