Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (1994)

Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (born July 17, 1966 or 1964 ), commonly known by the code name El Mencho , is a Mexican alleged drug lord and leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) , a criminal group based in Jalisco. He is the most wanted criminal in Mexico and one of the most wanted in the United States. Both governments are offering up to $ 30 million and US $ 10 million, respectively, for information leading to his arrest.

He is wanted for drug trafficking, involvement in organized crime, and illegal gun possession. El Mencho is reportedly responsible for coordinating drug trafficking operations in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Oceania. Under his command, the CJNG became one of the leading criminal organizations in Mexico.

Born into poverty in Mexico, El Mencho grew avocados and dropped out of elementary school before illegally immigrating to the United States in the 1980s . After being arrested several times, he was deported to Mexico in the early 1990s and worked for the Milenio cartel . He eventually rose to the top of the criminal organization and formed the CJNG after several of its bosses were arrested or killed.

His fame is also the result of his aggressive leadership and sensationalist acts of violence against both rival criminal groups and Mexican security forces. These attacks earned him one of the government increased attention Mexico and an extensive manhunt. The security forces suspect that he is hiding in the rural areas of Jalisco , Michoacán , Nayarit and / or Colima and is being guarded by mercenaries with previous military training.

Early life

Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes was born on July 17, 1964 or 1966 in the rural community of Naranjo de Chila in Aguililla, Michoacan , Mexico. His first name is quoted as Rubén and / or Nemesio . He has alternative aliases such as Nemecio , Rubén Acerguera Cervantes , Lorenzo Mendoza and Nemesio Oseguera Ramos . Some sources state that his maiden name was Rubén , but that he changed it to Nemesio in memory of his godfather . He is widely known by his alias El Mencho , a nickname derived from the phonetic derivation of Nemesio.

El Mencho grew up in a poor family who grew avocados. He had five brothers: Juan, Miguel, Antonio, Marín and Abraham. He dropped out of elementary school in 5th grade to work in the fields. He started guarding marijuana plantations at the age of 14. A few years later, he decided that he wanted a better life and illegally immigrated to the state of California in the 1980s. To protect his identity in the USA, he used various names and combinations, such as Rubén Ávila , José López Prieto , Miguel Valadez , Carlos Hernández Mendoza and Roberto Salgado , among others .

Time in the usa

In 1986 he lived in the San Francisco Bay Area . He was arrested by the San Francisco Police Department at the age of 19 for stolen goods and carrying a loaded gun. His first child was born two months after his arrest. According to the entry records, El Mencho crossed the border between the United States and Mexico several times under different aliases in the late 1980s. The DEA and Mexican investigators believe that he and his brother-in-law Abigael González Valencia (aka El Cuini ) became involved in meth production and trading in California's Central Valley during this time .

In 1989, El Mencho was arrested again in San Francisco for drug trafficking. A few months later he was deported to Mexico, but returned to the United States and settled in San Francisco. He was arrested again in September 1992, this time in Sacramento , California , for federal drug trafficking. According to court records, El Mencho and his brother Abraham were in a San Francisco bar known as the Imperial doing a heroin deal: five ounces for $ 9,500. Abraham was in charge of the transaction while El Mencho acted as minder. El Mencho was then 26 years old and much younger than Abraham, but he was smart enough to see that the transaction was a police trap. He told his brother that the men they gave the heroin to were handing perfectly hidden dollar bills instead of giving them loose dollar bills. By bugging the police El Mencho who warned his brother before eavesdropping, never again to make business with them, as they undercover agents were.

Arrest and deportation

Brown and white heroin

Police arrested them three weeks after the incident. In court, El Mencho insisted on his innocence. He said he was not involved in the heroin trade and the undercover agents lied that he was the drug dealer. The prosecution insisted that both siblings worked together. El Mencho had few options; if he pleaded not guilty, his brother Abraham - who had already been convicted of drug offenses - would likely go to prison for life. It was clear to his defense lawyers that if he opted to jury trial, they would likely win the case. He decided to plead guilty and protect his brother from a life sentence . He was sentenced to 5 years and was admitted to the Big Spring Correctional Center in Texas, which houses large numbers of illegal immigrants.

After three years he was on probation released from prison and deported at the age of 30 years to Mexico. In Mexico, he joined the local police force in Cabo Corrientes and Tomatlán in the state of Jalisco . After some time, he left the police and joined organized crime as a full-time member of the Milenio cartel . To strengthen his relationship with the Milenio Cartel, El Mencho married one of the clan leader's sisters, Rosalinda González Valencia . It was the criminal group in which El Mencho would become a leading figure in organized crime.

Cartel rise

In the Milenio cartel, El Mencho began as a member of the killer squad that protected drug lord Armando Valencia Cornelio (aka El Maradona ). On August 12, 2003, his boss was arrested by the Mexican authorities. Around the same time, a rival criminal group called Los Zetas, with the support of the Gulf Cartel, carried out an armed offensive against the Milenio Cartel in Michoacán. The attack forced the Valencia family into exile in Jalisco.

El Mencho moved with his father-in-law José Luis González Valencia (alias El Quini ) and Román Caballero Valencia to the state capital Guadalajara. In Jalisco, El Mencho and the Milenio cartel formed an alliance with the subgroup of the Sinaloa cartel, led by Ignacio Nacho Coronel , a high-ranking drug lord and ally of Joaquín El Chapo Guzmán . Under Coronel, El Mencho and his group managed the drug deals, finances, and murder activities of the Sinaloa cartel in the states of Colima and Jalisco.

On October 28, 2009, the top leader of the Milenio cartel, Óscar Orlando Nava Valencia (aka El Lobo ), was arrested. On May 6, 2010, his brother Juan Carlos (aka El Tigre ) was also arrested. Two months later, Coronel was killed in a shootout with the Mexican army . After their defeats, the Milenio cartel began to break up and El Mencho tried to take over its governance structure.

A section of the Milenio cartel wanted to appoint Elpidio Mojarro Ramírez (alias El Pilo ), who had worked closely with Óscar Orlando and Juan Carlos before their arrest, as the leader of the group. Érick Valencia Salazar , one of the clan members, wanted El Mencho to take command. El Mencho then asked the other Milenio block to extradite Gerardo Mendoza (aka Tecato and / or Cochi ) for killing a group of men who had reported to him in Tecomán, Colima . The other section refused El Mencho's request, which led to an internal war.

The Milenio cartel split into two parts. One side was known as La Resistencia , the other was Los Torcidos under the leadership of El Mencho. La Resistencia accused Los Torcidos of extraditing Óscar Orlando to the authorities. A war broke out and the two groups fought over the drug-smuggling areas in Jalisco.

To legitimize their presence, El Mencho's group launched a propaganda campaign against their enemies, denouncing blackmail perpetrated by rival gangs against civilians, businessmen and government agencies. The Torcidos eventually won the war and cemented their influence in western Mexico. The group then changed its name to Kartell Jalisco Nueva Generación (Spanish: Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación, or CJNG).

Period of cartel leadership

As the leader of the CJNG, El Mencho cemented his position and built his organization through territorial expansion and the bribery of government officials. The CJNG grew from a small criminal gang into one of the leading criminal groups in Mexico. Throughout the process, El Mencho established himself as one of the most wanted criminals in Mexico. His rise to fame can be attributed to a number of factors, including the CJNG's aggressive and sensational display of public violence. The direct attacks by the CJNG on the Mexican security forces earned El Mencho the reputation of the authorities as a " main enemy " of the state and a dangerous criminal. In addition, the overthrow of Mexico's former top crime bosses cleared the way for El Mencho to gain visibility and status.

Areas of action for the CJNG in 2020

  • Secondary zones of action or influence

    • He stepped up his operations in Jalisco and the neighboring states by repelling attacks by criminal groups such as Los Zetas and Los Caballeros Templarios . According to government sources, he is responsible for overseeing all of the CJNG's drug trafficking in the states of Jalisco, Colima, and Guanajuato , where he created a bastion for the production and trading of methamphetamine .

    Her operational capacity in Mexico is concentrated in 8 states: Jalisco, Colima, Guanajuato, Nayarit and Veracruz , where she has a firm grip on the drug trade, and Morelos, Guerrero and Michoacán, where she battles rival drug groups. Between 2014 and 2016, the only region in the country where the CJNG lost its territorial presence was Mexico City . At the international level, the CJNG reportedly has links with criminal groups in the US, Latin America, Europe, Asia and Africa. At the international level, the CJNG mainly focuses on the cocaine and methamphetamine trafficking .

    El Mencho managed to turn the CJNG into one of the most profitable criminal gangs in Mexico. The government estimates the total fortune of the El Menchos group at approximately $ 50 billion. That success was shared with his brother-in-law, Abigael González Valencia, who ran a drug trafficking group allied with the CJNG called Los Cuinis. Abigael was arrested by the Mexican Navy on February 28, 2015. Part of El Mencho's success in drug trafficking had to do with its ability to strategically manage market and consumer changes. The CJNG originally made methamphetamine, but then switched to heroin production as consumer demand changed.

    Manhunt

    On August 25, 2012, a unit of the Mexican federal police based in Tonalá, Jalisco , responded to an anonymous tip-off saying that an organized crime cell was present in a rural community nearby. When security forces arrived in the area, a shooting broke out between the two parties. 6 CJNG shooters were killed in the firefight. Initial reports indicate that El Mencho was captured during the operation, but the Mexican government later confirmed that he was not in custody.

    In a series of highly coordinated tactics to prevent El Mencho's arrest, the CJNG blocked several highways and roads in the greater Guadalajara area by setting fire to at least 37 vehicles. The purpose of the burning vehicles was to set them up as blockades to prevent security forces from crossing the capital of Jalisco and to give El Mencho enough time to escape. The blockades were placed on strategic routes to prevent police reinforcements from entering or leaving Guadalajara. After the attacks ended, the government confirmed that El Mencho was in the area and had evaded capture.

    On March 19, 2015, armed men from the CJNG ambushed a federal police convoy in Ocotlán, Jalisco . There were a total of 11 deaths : five police officers, three civilians and three armed CJNG shooters. The attack was in response to the CJNG protecting El Mencho, who was reportedly in the area for a meeting. On March 23, Heriberto Acevedo Cárdenas (aka El Gringo and El Güero ), one of El Mencho's close confidants, was killed in a shooting with federal police in Zacoalco de Torres, Jalisco . Three other CJNG suspects were killed. According to government sources , Acevedo Cárdenas directed CJNG cells in Zacoalco, Tlajomulco , Cocula , Tapalpa and Atemajac de Brizuela, Jalisco .

    In response to his death, El Mencho ordered the CJNG to launch attacks against the Mexican federal police. On March 30th, in Zapopan, Jalisco , the gunmen of the CJNG attacked a convoy in which Alejandro Solorio Aréchiga, Jalisco's security officer, was traveling. Nobody was killed in the exchange of fire.

    On April 6, CJNG gunmen blocked a street in San Sebastián del Oeste, Jalisco , with a burning vehicle , and opened fire on a federal police convoy, killing 15 officers and wounding 5 others . The incident was the deadliest single attack on the Mexican police since 2010. On the same day, Miguel Ángel Caicedo Vargas, the police chief of Zacoalco de Torres, was killed by killers from the CJNG.

    A month later, on May 1, 2015 , the Mexican government launched Operation Jalisco, a military-led campaign aimed at combating organized crime groups in Jalisco and apprehending their respective leaders. The announcement came after a series of violent attacks by the CJNG in recent weeks. On the day the operation opened, intelligence reports said El Mencho was in Tonaya, sparking an offensive to capture him. When security forces moved into the area where El Mencho was allegedly hiding, an exchange of fire broke out between law enforcement officers and armed men from the CJNG.

    In the small town of Villa Purificación, Jalisco , the men of El Mencho shot down a Mexican Army helicopter with a recoilless anti-tank handgun , killing 9 soldiers. The battle spanned several parishes in Jalisco; El Mencho's men blocked several streets in the Guadalajara area to slow law enforcement mobilization and facilitate their leader's escape. The CJNG set 39 buses, 11 banks and 16 gas stations on fire. The attack spread to 20 different cities and three neighboring states.

    According to the Mexican government, El Mencho may be hiding in the state of Jalisco, the stronghold of the CJNG. They believe he doesn't stay long in one place and travels through several communities in Jalisco and to the states of Michoacan, Colima and Nayarit. In these areas, he usually travels over the mountains and rural terrain as there are multiple escape routes in case the security forces attempt to encircle him. Authorities suspect that the inner circle of El Mencho is made up of mercenaries with previous military training. His second security circle is much larger and acts as the rearguard, alerting El Mencho's inner circle of suspicious activity and ambushing potential parties trying to get close to him.

    Allegations

    Since the 2000s, the DEA's Los Angeles, California office had been tracking El Mencho's activities and found that the CJNG had expanded its drug trafficking operations internationally. In 2000, the US government discovered that El Mencho was involved in an international cocaine and methamphetamine operation. Five years later, she discovered that he had used firearms to facilitate his operations.

    In 2007 the DEA discovered that El Mencho was involved in a cocaine operation that passed through Colombia, Guatemala, and Mexico and ended in the United States. It also uncovered a second shipment of cocaine from Colombia, Mexico, to the United States. In 2013, two more deliveries from Mexico and 2014 from the USA were discovered. In 2014, however, the DEA noted a radical change in the modus operandi of the CJNG; El Mencho was discovered to have coordinated a shipment of methamphetamine going from Mexico to Australia and then to the US by pressuring gangs based in China.

    On September 27, 2011, the Procuraduría General de la República (PGR) issued an arrest warrant for El Mencho, offering Mex $ 2 million for anyone who can help provide information leading to his arrest. He was charged with involvement in organized crime and illegal possession of firearms . In March 2014, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia indicted El Mencho on several counts, including drug trafficking and running a continuing criminal enterprise, based on previous DEA investigations . El Mencho and Abigael were accused of coordinating supplies of cocaine and methamphetamine from South America to the US via Mexico. They also stated that the CJNG and Los Cuinis coordinated the collection and delivery of drug proceeds from the United States to Mexico. In addition, the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas is seeking to convict El Mencho of drug trafficking.

    On December 18, 2017, seventeen-year-old YouTuber star Juan Luis Lagunas Rosales , known as El Pirata de Culiacán (German: The Pirate from Culiacán), was shot and killed by a group of four men with guns in a bar in Jalisco shortly after Lagunas Rosales published videotaped insults against El Mencho. Police are investigating whether El Mencho ordered him to be executed, but no charges were brought.

    On August 15, 2018, the PGR announced that it would offer up to 30 million Mex $ for anyone providing information leading to the capture of El Mencho. This announcement came as the DEA and Mexican authorities agreed to uncover a new plan to work together against organized crime that included a greater focus on their financial structure and the creation of a law enforcement group to investigate international cases should. The bounty stems from a new arrest warrant issued against him in February 2018 for alleged involvement in directing the kidnapping and murder of two agents of the Agencia Federal de Investigación (AIC), a branch of the PGR.

    On 16 October 2018, the announced foreign , the Department of Justice and the Ministry of Finance a joint prosecution against the CJNG and increased the bounty of El Mencho of 5 million US dollars to 10 million US dollars. This increase was one of the largest approved in the history of the Narcotics Rewards Program .

    Classification of the Kingpin Act

    On April 8, 2015, the US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) sanctioned El Mencho under the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act ( Kingpin Act ) for its involvement in international drug smuggling operations. The sanction was a joint investigation by the Treasury Department and the DEA Los Angeles office as part of a larger effort with their Mexican counterparts to sanction drug trafficking groups in Mexico. The sanction extended to the CJNG, his brother-in-law Abigael González Valencia and Los Cuinis. As part of the sanction, all US resident assets and / or assets in control of US persons on behalf of El Mencho, González Valencia, the CJNG and Los Cuinis were frozen in the US.

    On September 17, 2015, OFAC sanctioned five companies in Jalisco for financial support of the businesses of CJNG and El Mencho. This sanction was the result of further investigation by the Treasury Department and the DEA Los Angeles office. All of these companies' US resident assets have been frozen and US citizens have been banned from doing business with them. The deals included a sushi restaurant in Puerto Vallarta and Guadalajara, a tequila company in Guadalajara, a cabin rental business in Tapalpa, and an advertising company and an agricultural company, both in Guadalajara. According to the report, the diversity of these companies showed that the CJNG managed to break into the economy.

    On October 27, 2016, OFAC sanctioned nine other people for providing material and financial support to El Mencho and González Valencia and their respective groups, the CJNG and Los Cuinis. This sanction was also the result of a further investigation by the Treasury Department and the DEA Los Angeles office. This sanction was an attempt by the US government to disrupt the inner circle of complicit family members within the CJNG and Los Cuinis and to damage their finances in Mexico's domestic economy. The sanctioned persons were El Mencho's brother Antonio, his son-in-law Julio Alberto Castillo Rodríguez and five siblings of González Valencia: Arnulfo, Édgar Edén, Elvis , Marisa Ivette and Noemí; the businessman Fabián Felipe Vera López and the lawyer María Teresa Quintana Navarro. All of their US-based assets have been frozen and US citizens have been banned from doing business with them.

    CJNG power struggles and division

    Power struggles within the CJNG became apparent in March 2017 when El Mencho ordered the assassination of senior CJNG member Carlos Enrique Sánchez, alias El Cholo . The plot to murder El Cholo, targeted by El Mencho after El Cholo murdered a CJNG financial operator nicknamed El Colombiano , failed. El Cholo then retaliated by co-founding a new cartel called the Nueva Plaza Cartel. CJNG co-founder Erick Valencia Salazar also split from El Mencho and became a senior leader of the Nueva cartel. They have also formed a rivalry with El Mencho and the CJNG.

    family

    El Mencho has five brothers: Juan, Miguel, Antonio , Marín and Abraham. In the 1990s, Abraham was sentenced to 10 years in prison in California. In 2013 the Mexican authorities charged him with the murder in Michoacán. The charges were later dropped and the case closed.

    Marín has been charged in a California court, but the charges are closed to the public. Antonio lived in the United States and was released from a Mississippi prison in 2001 after executing his sentence on property damage. He was arrested by the Mexican Army and Navy on December 4, 2015 in Jalisco for working as one of the key financial players in El Mencho. According to the Mexican government, Juan and Miguel are involved in the CJNG. Juan was charged with burglary in Michoacan, but the case was later dismissed.

    Rosalinda González Valencia is the wife of El Mencho. They have three children: Jessica Johana, Laisha and Rubén Oseguera González (aka El Menchito ). Jessica Johana is married to Julio Alberto Castillo Rodríguez (aka El Ojo de Vidrio ), who was first arrested on May 1, 2015. He was released on July 1 for lack of evidence but arrested again on April 6, 2016 for his involvement in the CJNG. El Mencho's son Rubén was considered the second in command of the CJNG by the Mexican government before his arrest in 2014. He was released several times for lack of evidence, but each time he was arrested by the police on additional charges.

    In addition, the Mexican authorities suspected in 2016 that Omar Eleazar Oseguera Cervantes was part of the governance structure of the CJNG. Although he shares the same surname as El Mencho, he was listed as his son-in-law rather than one of his brothers. He reportedly works as one of its top security chiefs. El Mencho's brother-in-law Elvis González Valencia was also arrested in 2016. He had served as the main financier of the CJNG. He was later released in December 2016.

    In May 2018, El Mencho's wife Rosalinda was arrested on charges of money laundering. Rosalinda was later released after putting on bail of 1.5 million pesos ($ 78,000) in September 2018, but remains on criminal charges and trial.

    In April 2019, El Mencho's godson Adrián Alonso Guerrero Covarrubias was arrested on charges of drug trafficking and kidnapping. Guerrero served El Mencho's regional director in the Ciénega and Los Altos regions in north Jalisco and southeast Guanajuato.

    In February 2020, El Mencho's daughter Jessica Johana, known as La Negra , was arrested in Washington DC while visiting her brother Ruben, who had been extradited for drug trafficking in the United States. She was charged with transacting or doing business in real estate with companies that were blacklisted by the Treasury Department and providing financial assistance to the CJNG.
