In a significant blow to one of the most powerful drug traffickers in Mexico, the National Guard recently made an arrest of Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, also known as ‘Don Rodo’, the older brother of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, or ‘El Mencho’, the boss of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The arrest took place in Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, and was recorded in the National Detention Registry (RND).
Abraham Oseguera Cervantes is considered a key coordinator of the cartel’s logistical and financial operations, specifically in money laundering and overseeing drug trafficking and sales. Following his arrest, he was transferred to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO) in Mexico City. The CJNG has evolved into one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations globally, with extensive networks in America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.
The United States has offered a substantial reward of 10 million dollars for information leading to the capture of ‘El Mencho’, the leader of the CJNG. Abraham Oseguera Cervantes was apprehended while wearing a red, blue, and white plaid shirt with jean pants and black boots. Security analyst David Saucedo highlighted that ‘Don Rodo’ was primarily responsible for drug shipments to the United States and managed certain transportation routes.
Abraham Oseguera Cervantes has had a discreet role within the cartel for many years, focusing on administrative activities rather than leading violent groups. However, he has played a significant role in the operations of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, as evidenced by his past arrest in the United States in 1992 alongside ‘El Mencho’. Despite these past legal issues, ‘Don Rodo’ has continued to operate within the criminal organization.
The rapid growth and expansion of the CJNG have been facilitated by a strategic presence on Mexico’s border with California and Texas. Their influence extends across multiple continents, with their primary focus on distributing cocaine and methamphetamines. Despite facing numerous challenges and rivalries from other cartels like Los Zetas or Sinaloa Cartel; they remain a formidable force in Mexico’s criminal landscape due to its extreme violence tactics.
