Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as El Mencho and the supreme leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, has been killed following a high-risk military operation in Jalisco. The cartel chief, who carried a $15 million US bounty and was among the world’s most wanted criminals, was fatally wounded during an intense clash with Mexican special forces and later died while being transported to the capital. The reign of one of the world’s most feared drug lords has come to a dramatic end. El Mencho’s death marks the fall of a man who built CJNG into one of the most powerful and dangerous criminal empires in the world. From cocaine and methamphetamine to fentanyl trafficking, his cartel became a dominant force in global narcotics supply chains. WATCH
