EFFORTPOST El Mencho Leader Of The CJNG Cartel

Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, mostly known as El Mencho was born on July 17, 1966 in Aguililla, Michoacán Mexico. He is the leader of the CJNG also called the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. One of the most feared and powerful cartel in Mexico.

CHILDHOOD TO ADULTHOOD.

He was born in a poor family of 5 siblings and he stopped going to school when he was 14 years old. His family was in the avocado business, so he decided to help out his family by working in the fields. He soon realized that there was little money working in the avocado fields, and started guarding marihuana fields for local drug dealers. About 5 years later when he was 19 years old, he decided to immigrate to America with some of his family in the hopes of making it big in the criminal underworld. He moved to San Francisco and was arrested for the first time for trying to sell meth.

He was deported back to Mexico after this arrest, but he returned and was arrested once again in 1992 with his brother Abraham. They were setup by undercover agents while trying to do a drug deal, and both Abraham and El Mencho were arrested. His brother Abraham had a criminal record and to stop his brother from going to prison for life, El Mencho pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 5 years in prison. He was released 3 years later on parole and was deported back to Mexico. When he returned to Mexico he tried to live straight and even became a police officer in Jalisco, but he slowly started to return back to the cartel world. A few years later he stopped being a police officer and started working for the Milenio Cartel. He married a sister of one the Milenio Cartels leader, Rosalinda González Valencia to increase his position in the cartel. He worked for the Milenio cartel for years, but most of the leaders were either killed or arrested, which cleared the way for El Mencho to take control of the organization.

THE CJNG CARTEL.

The CJNG cartel started around 2010 with El Mencho as their leader. Video of CJNG members showing their weapons and gears.

El Mencho and his CJNG cartel started taking over Guadalajara, Jalisco state first. Fighting the Los Zetas and the Knights Templars Cartel and attacking many law enforcement and goverment officials. Not only rival cartels, but also countless citizens, police officers, soldiers, journalists and even judges have lost their lives. Even tiktokers became their target for messing with them. Video of 5 times tiktokers messed with the CJNG cartel.

In 2015 the CJNG shot down an army helicopter killing 6 soldiers.

It is speculated that the reason why they shot the army helicopter was because they were following a CJNG helicopter where El Mencho himself was in.

BUSINESS OF THE CJNG.

CJNG is in to many criminal activities such as kidnapping, money laundering, extortion, but are making most of their money by selling cocaine and methamphetamie. According to the reports they have dozens maybe more then 100 laboratories in Mexico where they produce these drugs. They do business in Mexico, America, Africa and in Asia, but they don't kill people in other parts of the world like they do in Mexico. The CJNG is the second most powerful cartel in Mexico after the Sinaloa cartel, but are known as the most brutal cartel in Mexico. They kill their enemies in the most brutal ways and film it to spread fear in to everyone that dares to cross them.

Although his methods are brutal, El Mencho is still different from other cartel bosses, because he truly operates behind the shadows. He is never seen in public and there is no online video footage of him. He is sometimes called the ghost. There are only a few pictures and one voice recording where he calls a police officer and threatens him for disturbing his operations.

The CJNG cartel is so powerful that even the police are afraid of them. A lot of people blame the police for being corrupt, but the fact of the matter is that they don't have a choice. If they don't do as they are being told they die. Not only the ones that don't listen and get in their way, but most likely their families too, just to set an example to not get in their way. Also Mexican police officers are not allowed to carry firearms off duty. So there is no way to defend them selves.
