In the cabin where Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias 'El Mencho', leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), was taking refuge, a box with Tationil Plus 3000 MG ampoules was found. This is an injectable supplement containing glutathione and vitamin C, used as an antioxidant and for therapeutic support. Next to the box, in a cooler with other frozen foods—one packaged with a date of 09/05/2025—detailed administration instructions were found, specifying days and times for application over several weeks and indicating intramuscular, intravenous, or subcutaneous routes of administration. This medication is expensive; each ampoule is estimated to cost between two and five thousand pesos, or a box with several ampoules up to 30,000 pesos, but it is only available through specialized laboratories and under medical supervision. According to reports, the capo suffered from kidney failure, which suggests the ampoules were part of an active and planned treatment. At the scene, half-empty water bottles, food scraps on the table, used utensils, and personal items were also found, evidence that the cabin was occupied until shortly before the operation on February 22, 2026, which concluded with the death of 'El Mencho.' The property is a two-story cabin built with fine wood and stone, with finishes that combine rustic and elegant elements. The furniture is made of refined design wood, possibly mahogany; the bathrooms feature polished wood and stone cladding; lamps and hardware have a matte black finish; gray blinds and special-design bulbs complete the sophisticated style of the property. The cabin was not an improvised refuge, as its dimensions, layout, and finishes show it to be a spacious, well-equipped residence designed for comfort, discreetly integrated into the surrounding forest. The cabin is within Tapalpa Country Club, a residential and tourist development with restricted access; nearby, in the same locality, is the Centro de Salud de Alcíihualtl — 'woman serpent' in Nahuatl — whose exterior facade has a rural appearance. However, journalistic reports indicate that it has specialized equipment and high-end services, which could have allowed 'El Mencho' to access nearby medical care without depending on external facilities or attracting attention. The area combines private homes, vacation houses, and tourist cabins within a natural landscape of pine and oak forests, mountainous topography, and a temperate climate, characteristic of the Magical Town of Tapalpa. The interior reflects recent activity and disorder following the authorities' intervention. Luxury bedspreads and clothing, displaced furniture, utensils and food on tables, storage bags, gloves, and scattered clothes are observed. The kitchen and dining room show food scraps, cake, fruit, sauces, and used utensils, indicating the place was inhabited until shortly before the raid. Oils and essences from recognized brands were also found, reinforcing the level of luxury and care of the occupants. Several rooms feature flat-screen TVs and ample space for socializing or simultaneous work, coinciding with the function of a comfortable temporary residence. Additionally, several religious images were found at the site; in the courtyard, there are stone slabs with a relief of Saint Jude Thaddeus and the Virgin of Guadalupe, with the date 'February 14, 2026' engraved in the cement. Inside, on a wooden bureau, votive candles with images of Saint Jude Thaddeus, known as the saint of impossible causes; Saint Charbel, or the saint of miracles, to whom they attribute the gift of healing or thaumaturgy; the Virgin of Guadalupe, the Holy Family, and Saint Martin de Porres, patron of merchants; indicating recent habits of devotion. Even on the same bureau, a handwritten sheet with Psalm 91 was found, dated as recently as January of this year. Since March 2020, U.S. authorities had identified three sets of cabins in this same area as tourist businesses linked to CJNG and its financial arm, Los Cuinis, according to data from an MCCI investigation. The complexes indicated operated under the names 'Las Flores Cabañas,' 'Cabañas La Loma,' and 'Cabañas La Loma en Renta/La Loma Tapalpa,' and were included in the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) list in 2020. The cabin used by 'El Mencho' was not an improvised or marginal hideout; it was a luxury, spacious, and equipped property, with evidence of recent occupation and specialized medical treatment. Furthermore, it was integrated into a residential and tourist environment that provides privacy and visual control, but despite these conditions, the CJNG leader was killed after being pursued through the undergrowth by Mexican Army forces.
