On Monday, July 20, the head of the Ministry of National Defense (Sedena), General Luis Cresencio Sandoval, said that the group that boasted two videos with weapons, hitmen and armor under the letters of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) is a cell led by Juan Carlos González, known as “R3”. Today a new video is circulating on social networks.
Mexico City, July 23 (SinEmbargo) .– A supposed leader of the elite group of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) said in a new video that their criminal organization does not work with the government. She also asked not to support José Antonio Yépez Ortiz, alias “El Marro”, alleged leader of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel (CSRL).
“We do not work or mess with the government. We have the ability to work for ourselves, ”said the subject in a kind of video interview that now circulates on social networks.
The supposed member of the CJNG assured that they do not carry out attacks against innocents, and said that Guanajuato will not continue in war for a long time, because “the days of ‘Marro’ are numbered.”
“We are in all the municipalities of Guanajuato, and although ‘El Marro’ is still hiding … We make a call to all those who support the killing of ‘Marro’ innocents: stop doing it,” he added.
The Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel is a Mexican organized crime group dedicated to drug trafficking and arms trafficking and, according to authorities from Mexico and the United States, as well as journalistic investigations, operates in 25 of the 32 states of Mexico, although its largest presence is in the states of Baja California, Guanajuato, Michoacán, Veracruz and Jalisco.
Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho”, is the founder and leader of the criminal organization. In late 2018, the U.S. government doubled the maximum reward offered, from $ 5 million to $ 10 million, for his capture.
For years “El Mencho” has been accused by the United States of three drug trafficking charges.

Over the weekend, the subjects who exhibited themselves in a video with camouflaged weapons and vehicles, and who claimed to belong to the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG), clarified that it was not a message for authorities, but for José Antonio Yépez, alias “El Marro ”, alleged leader of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel (CSRL), the criminal group that steals fuel and terrifies the Mexican state of Guanajuato.
“Our war is not against the people, nor is it against the government,” said one of the subjects in a new video circulating on social media. The scenes show aerial shots of the place where the alleged members of the criminal group led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes met.
On Monday, July 20, the head of the Ministry of National Defense (Sedena), General Luis Cresencio Sandoval, said that the group that boasted two videos with weapons, hitmen and armor under the letters of the Jalisco Nueva Generación Cartel (CJNG) is a cell led by Juan Carlos González, known as “R3”.
One of the videos, in which they refer to Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, alias “El Mencho”, was related to the criminal leader’s birthday, on July 17. The second video, the General considered, is a response to a threat by José Antonio Yépez Ortiz, known as “El Marro” and leader of the Santa Rosa de Lima Cartel (CSRL).
“In the analysis of the videos that were circulating on social networks and in the media, a vehicle with artisan armor, painted green and with logos of an alleged group of special forces, an elite group of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, is exhibited,” he explained. .
During the morning conference of President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the official detailed “that there are 80 weapons present, one 50-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun, nine other types of machine guns, 10 50-caliber Barrett rifles, 54 assault rifles, six grenade launcher attachments. In total 80 weapons and 75 people visible in the videos. “
According to investigations and reports by US authorities, the CJNG traffics natural and synthetic drugs along the Pacific Ocean coast from the United States and Canada and to South America.
In addition, DEA investigations would reveal that since 2014 they have carried out operations in countries of Asia and Oceania.
The criminal organization was created as an armed wing of the Sinaloa Cartel under the name Los Mata Zetas and emerged as a result of divisions between various drug trafficking structures after the death in 2010 of Ignacio Coronel, alias “Nacho Coronel”, one from the leaders of the powerful Sinaloa Cartel (CDS).
