The Mexican Army confirmed that one of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes's romantic partners, alias 'El Mencho', was key to locating him and planning the operation in which he was captured, an event that subsequently led to his death. According to the Secretary of Defense, Ricardo Treviño, on February 20, a trusted man of one of 'El Mencho's' partners was located, who transported the woman to Tapalpa, Jalisco. In the cartel's schemes, she was linked to him with the date 'May 26.' There, she met with the drug trafficker. The next day, the woman left the area, but he remained there with a security circle, which detonated the operation by federal forces. What is known about 'El Mencho's' family and partners? The Mexican Army has in its archives files with basic data on Oseguera Cervantes and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), including key elements of his criminal and family career, according to data leaked by the Guacamaya collective. Among his main operators were Abigael González Valencia, alias 'El Cuini'; José María González Valencia, alias 'El Chepa'; and Ulises Yovani or Yovany Mora Tapia, alias 'El Yiyo', among others. The origins and criminal history of Nemesio Oseguera According to files from the Attorney General's Office (PGR) in the hands of the Army, 'El Mencho' grew under the protection of Armando Valencia Cornelio, founder of the Milenio Cartel, an organization that had hegemonic control in Michoacán during the 80s and 90s. After the capture in 2009 of Oscar Orlando Nava Valencia, alias 'El Lobo', leader of the Milenio Cartel, and the death in 2010 of Ignacio 'Nacho' Coronel, the criminal group fractured. From this rupture, factions such as the 'Mata-Zetas' emerged, a group that in September 2011 murdered and threw 35 people in Veracruz, calling itself 'the armed wing of the people.' In March 2012, 'El Mencho' assumed full leadership of the organization after the detention of his partner Erick Valencia Salazar. Alleged romantic partner: Guadalupe Moreno Carrillo, who was registered in the cartel's structure as 'Current partner', at the same level as his wife. Journalist Anabel Hernández explained that, according to her sources, the Mexican criminal had been with one of his romantic partners since February 14 or 15. 'El Mencho's' children According to the CJNG structure, he had three identified children who were part of his intimate family and operational circle: Jessica Johanna Oseguera González, who was associated with businesses such as 'Mizu Sushi Restaurants'. Laisha Michel Oseguera González (a little girl). Rubén Oseguera González, known by the alias 'El Menchito.' 'El Mencho's' family and criminal connections ('The Cuinis') The family of his wife Rosalinda, made up of the González Valencia brothers, was known as 'The Cuinis', a group pointed out as a strategic partner of the CJNG. This fact marked the first time the CJNG —formerly Mata-Zetas— reacted with narcoblockades and vehicle burnings in the city to prevent the transfer of a detainee. According to the report, 'El Mencho' had an extensive history of investigation folders and judicial warrants for organized crime, crimes against health, and violation of the Firearms Law. Some documents are dated 2022, so the updates to the intelligence information are unknown. Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also identified in official records under the names Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, Nemesio Oseguera Ramos, or Rubén Eleazar Oseguera Cervantes, was known by the aliases 'El Mencho', 'El Señor de los Gallos', and 'El Gallero.'
