Juan Carlos Gonzalez = $5m bounty

The U.S. Department of State announced a reward of up to $5m for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Juan Carlos Valencia Gonzalez. U.S.-born Valencia Gonzalez is accused of being a leader of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion. Cops identified Valencia Gonzalez as a leader of the cartel's armed wing known as Grupo Elite. The reward comes after the State Department offered a $5m reward for Audias Flores-Silva, a boss of the CJNC, and a $10m reward for Nemesio Ruben Oseguera-Cervantes, the leader of the cartel and stepfather to Valencia Gonzalez.

Juan Carlos Valencia Gonzalez - the ruthless chief behind Jalisco New Generation Cartel's elite military units - is reportedly next in line as boss. Gonzalez runs military units El RR and El Grupo Delta, who are battling for territory in central Mexico. Current boss El Mencho's health is said to be deteriorating and Gonzalez is heir apparent. El Mencho's son, Ruben Oseguera-González 'El Menchito' should have been next in line to the throne, but he was extradited to the US.

CJNG captured a leader with Carteles Unidos who went by the nickname Ghost Rider. They used rubbing alcohol to set fire to his face and filmed as he screamed in agony and begged to be killed.
