National Guard’s Arrest of CJNG Leader’s Brother: A Major Setback for Mexico’s Most Violent Cartel

The National Guard of Mexico made a significant arrest that dealt a major blow to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and its leader, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as ‘El Mencho.’ They arrested his older brother, Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, who was reportedly involved in administrative functions within the organization. The arrest took place in 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 described as a man with white skin, dark hair
