Frozen accounts and arrests, the AMLO government’s blows to the CJNG

The death of ‘Mencho’?

On June 12, the version of the death of ‘Mencho’ and of Hugo Gonzalo Mendoza Gaytán, ‘el Sapo’, number two of the CJNG, circulated in the country.

However, on June 15, President López Obrador denied the capture or death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes.

“It was verified that it was a rumor, that what was mentioned did not happen, that this character had been arrested or that he had died,” the federal president said at his morning conference in Veracruz when questioned on the subject.

Days later, on June 24, it was confirmed that Noé “L”, ‘el Puma’, considered at the time the right hand of José Antonio Yépez Ortiz, ‘el Marro’, leader of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel, was arrested by federal forces in San Luis Potosí. According to the information released, currently ‘el Puma’ was no longer working with ‘el Marro’, but with the rival criminal organization: the CJNG.
