Cop-turned-crime boss, Mexico’s Nemesio ‘El Mencho’ Oseguera leaves bloody legacy

Nemesio ‘El Mencho’ Oseguera, a former police officer, has emerged as one of Mexico's most notorious crime bosses, second only to the infamous Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman, who is currently imprisoned in the United States. Oseguera leads the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), which has gained a reputation for its violent tactics and extensive criminal operations. Under his leadership, the cartel has diversified its illegal activities, venturing into lucrative areas such as fuel theft, human trafficking, and forced labor. This diversification has not only solidified Oseguera’s power within the criminal underworld but has also led to a significant rise in violence in regions where the CJNG operates. As authorities struggle to contain the cartel's influence, Oseguera’s legacy continues to be marred by bloodshed, marking a dark chapter in Mexico's ongoing battle against organized crime. His ability to adapt and expand the cartel's operations presents a formidable challenge for law enforcement agencies aiming to restore order in a country besieged by drug-related violence.
