The National Guard of Mexico recently made a significant arrest that dealt a major blow to one of the most powerful drug traffickers in the country, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as ‘El Mencho’, the boss of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). They arrested his older brother, Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, also known as ‘Don Rodo’, who was reportedly involved in administrative functions within the organization.
Abraham Oseguera Cervantes is considered a key coordinator of the cartel’s logistical and financial operations, specifically in money laundering and overseeing drug trafficking and sales. Following his arrest, he was transferred to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO) in Mexico City. The CJNG has evolved into one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations globally, with extensive networks in America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
The United States has offered a substantial reward of 10 million dollars for information leading to the capture of ‘El Mencho’, the leader of the CJNG. The cartel’s rapid growth and expansion have been facilitated by a strategic presence on the US-Mexico border and the lucrative drug trafficking routes they control. Their influence extends across multiple continents, with their primary focus on distributing cocaine and methamphetamines. Despite facing numerous challenges and rivalries, the CJNG remains a formidable force in the drug trafficking world, known for its extreme violence and dominance in Mexico’s criminal landscape.
