U.S. Raises Bounty for CJNG Leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, 'El Mencho', to $15 Million
Dec 4, 2024, 08:58 PM
The U.S. Department of State has significantly increased the bounty for information leading to the arrest or conviction of Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, alias 'El Mencho', the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). The reward has been raised from $10 million to $15 million, making him one of the most wanted Mexican drug lords. This move places him on par with other high-profile targets like Nicolás Maduro, and above the rewards offered for Los Chapitos, the sons of Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán. The announcement comes as part of a broader initiative by the U.S. government, offering a total of $142 million in rewards for information leading to the capture of 30 Mexican drug traffickers, including Rafael Caro Quintero, for whom the U.S. offers $20 million.
