El Mencho eliminated in Mexico, unrest intensifies
Reports have spread that one of the most dangerous criminals in Mexico, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes — “El Mencho” has been eliminated. This was reported by Zamin.uz.
This event caused a major uproar throughout Mexico. It is reported that a special military operation was conducted in the state of Jalisco and “El Mencho” was killed during a shootout.
The operation took place in the Tapalpa area, south of Guadalajara city. According to the government and major publications, this area has been under the influence of the drug cartel for many years.
The elimination of “El Mencho” gained international attention because the US had offered a $15 million reward for him. For this reason, the event is considered an important incident not only within Mexico but also on an international scale.
However, following this operation, aggressive retaliatory actions by the new generation cartel in Jalisco have been observed. Roads have been blocked in various areas, cars and trucks have been set on fire, and armed clashes have increased.
Security measures have been strengthened in the cities of Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta, with movement restricted on some routes and flights also suspended. State governor Pablo Lemus Navarro confirmed that the cartel acted against power structures.
Experts believe that a struggle for a new leader within the cartel may begin. This could lead to continued violence.
The New York Times described “El Mencho” as one of the most ruthless criminals in Mexico, highlighting the CJNG cartel’s role in drug trafficking.
