Mexican Authorities Deal Blow to Jalisco New Generation Cartel with Arrest of Top Associate

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. The arrest took place in the municipality of Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, as recorded in the National Detention Registry (RND).

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. Abraham Oseguera Cervantes was apprehended while wearing a red, blue, and white plaid shirt with jean pants and black boots. Security analyst David Saucedo highlighted that ‘Don Rodo’ was primarily responsible for drug shipments to the United States and managed certain transportation routes.

Abraham Oseguera Cervantes has had a discreet role within the cartel for many years, focusing on administrative activities rather than leading violent groups. However, he has played a significant role in the operations of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, as evidenced by his past arrest in Mexico City in 2014 alongside ‘El Mencho’. Despite these past legal issues and facing numerous challenges and rivalries from other criminal organizations such as Los Zetas and El Chapo’s Sinaloa Cartel (CNS), ‘Don Rodo’ has continued to operate within the criminal organization.

The rapid growth and expansion of the CJNG have been facilitated by their strategic presence on Mexico’s border with California and Arizona. Their influence extends across multiple continents through their primary focus on distributing cocaine and methamphetamines to various markets worldwide.

In conclusion, this recent arrest marks another significant victory for Mexican authorities against one of its most dangerous drug cartels. While they continue to face numerous challenges from rival gangs and international narcotics trafficking networks like those run by Pablo Escobar or even today’s infamous El Chapo Guzman-led Sinaloa Cartel (CNS), this new development shows that law enforcement agencies will not stop fighting back against organized crime until it is eradicated once and for all.
