In a significant development in Mexico's long-running war on drugs, the Mexican army has killed Nemesio Oseguera, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), one of the country's most violent and powerful drug trafficking organizations. Oseguera, widely known by his alias 'El Mencho', had long been one of Mexico's most wanted fugitives, with the United States offering a $15 million bounty for information leading to his capture.
A Ruthless and Elusive Kingpin
El Mencho was notorious for his brutal tactics and ability to evade authorities. Under his leadership, the CJNG became one of the most dominant and feared criminal groups in Mexico, engaging in violent turf wars with rival cartels and carrying out high-profile attacks on police and military targets. His rise to power was marked by a relentless campaign of violence and intimidation, as he sought to expand the CJNG's reach and control over drug trafficking routes.
