CJNG Leader’s Brother Arrested by Mexican National Guard in Significant Blow to Drug Trafficking Organization

Mexican National Guard Makes Significant Arrest of CJNG Leader’s Brother

The National Guard of Mexico recently made a significant arrest that dealt a major blow to one of the most powerful drug traffickers in the country, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, also known as ‘El Mencho’. They arrested his older brother, Abraham Oseguera Cervantes, also known as ‘Don Rodo’, who was reportedly involved in administrative functions within the organization. The arrest took place in the municipality of Autlán de Navarro, Jalisco, as recorded in the National Detention Registry (RND).

Abraham Oseguera Cervantes is considered a key coordinator of the cartel’s logistical and financial operations, specifically in money laundering and overseeing drug trafficking and sales. Following his arrest, he was transferred to the Specialized Prosecutor’s Office for Organized Crime (FEMDO) in Mexico City. The CJNG has evolved into one of the most prolific and violent drug trafficking organizations globally, with extensive networks in America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

The United States has offered a substantial reward of 10 million dollars for information leading to the capture of ‘El Mencho’, the leader of the CJNG. Abraham Oseguera Cervantes was apprehended while wearing a red, blue, and white plaid shirt with jeans pants and black boots. Security analyst David Saucedo highlighted that ‘Don Rodo’ was primarily responsible for drug shipments to the United States and managed certain transportation routes.

Abraham Oseguera Cervantes has had a discreet role within the cartel for many years, focusing on administrative activities rather than leading violent groups. However, he has played a significant role in the operations of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), as evidenced by his past arrest in 1992 alongside ‘El Mencho’. Despite these past legal issues, ‘Don Rodo’ has continued to operate within the criminal organization.
