Mexico City. A blow to the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and the family of its leader. Federal authorities arrested Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, Don Rodo, brother of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, El Mencho, and three other people in the town of Atajeas de Covarrubias, in the state of Jalisco.
In a joint operation, members of the Secretariats of Public Security and Citizen Protection (SSPC), the Mexican Navy (Semar), and National Defense (Defensa), managed to capture Don Rodo, who was found to be in possession of weapons, cash, and doses of drugs.
Authorities reported that Abraham Oseguera is considered “responsible for laundering the money of his brother Nemesio Oseguera, through the purchase of ranches, land, and properties, and he also relied on public notaries from Ciudad Guzmán and Autlán de Navarro Jalisco, to manage the name changes of the owners.”
The Security Cabinet indicated: “it is known that his wife Virginia León Osornio invests illicit money in gold mines in the states of Michoacán and Nayarit, with the aim of increasing the financial assets of her brother-in-law Rubén Oseguera”
The arrest was possible by carrying out intelligence actions that included mobile surveillance, and by detecting El Mencho's brother, “who was accompanied by three other members of the criminal group, who were carrying firearms and to prevent any situation that would put citizens at risk, he was stopped.”
They were all transferred to Mexico City and placed at the disposal of the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO).
