 | Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, 'El Mencho' was named the most-wanted drug kingpin in North America after Mexican authorities and the U.S. State Department put a combined $6.5m bounty for the leader of the Jalisco New Generation cartel. The CJNG has proven to be more ruthless and better organized than the Sinaloa cartel in recent years. They function like a paramilitary organization and rule with an iron hand in Jalisco.
In May 2015, El Mencho, now 52, ordered a series of attacks against security forces in Jalisco. An ambush of a police convoy killed 15 officers. |   |
