This February 22, the Secretary of Defense of Mexico confirmed the death of Rubén Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, alias 'El Mencho', leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), after an operation coordinated with the country's Army. 'El Mencho' had been convicted in the United States for drug trafficking, worked as a police officer in Jalisco and rose to lead the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, becoming one of the most wanted drug lords. On France 24 we spoke with Samuel González, security expert and former Unodc advisor, about the figure of the drug trafficking leader and the impact of his murder.
