The Mexican magazine Proceso, which wrote an interview with a leader of the Sinaloa cartel, said the distribution of the specimens was hampered by intimidation in the state of the country's northwest.


A spokeswoman for the magazine publisher enounced about all copies of the interview with Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada was bought by 2 men.


The interview had generated much argument.


Process, one of the leading news magazines of Mexico, said the great purchase was intended to prevent the Sinaloa population had access to copies.
"Political connections"


Margarita Carreon, mind of sales process, said the local distributor of the magazine was addressed on Sunday by two men who bought more than 1,700 individuals who had not yet made the point of sale.


Carreon told El Noticiero News he believed the main cause for bullying was not the story of "El Mayo", but an article accompanying the publication in which it was linked to drug kingpin with a local politician in Sinaloa.


The interview came as a surprise in Mexico, because the press rarely has access to the leaders of drug cartels.


In the story, Zambada spoke of his fear of being captured by authorities and criticized the government's strategy to tackle drug-related fury that has left over 18,000 dead since 2006.


He also said he frequently talks on the telephone with the top leader of the poster and Mexico's most wanted man, Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
"Scoop or Scandal?
Mexican Soldier


The interview, conducted at an undisclosed location, was conducted by veteran Mexican journalist Julio Scherer Garcia, who has been criticized by some for providing a platform to speak Zambada.


Others believe that the scoop is one of the huge journalistic achievements of recent times in Mexico.


In any case, many think that the obvious intimidation in Sinaloa is a stark reminder of the pressure on the press in the fields most affected by violence linked to drug trafficking.


And above all, so the disputation about the interview appears to confirm is that Mexico, including the media, is still learning to accept his main problem with the drug cartels.
