Major drug lord 'El Mencho' killed in Mexican military operation with US intelligence support
Nemesio Oseguera, also known as 'El Mencho,' was killed in a military operation assisted by US intelligence, marking a significant victory in Mexico's fight against organized crime.
On Sunday morning, major Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, known as 'El Mencho,' was killed during a military operation conducted by Mexican troops in Tapalpa, Jalisco. The operation, which reportedly received support from U.S. intelligence, represents a crucial blow against organized crime in Mexico, especially under the increasing pressure for drug cartel crackdowns from the U.S. government during Donald Trump's presidency. 'El Mencho' had become one of the most wanted individuals, with a $15 million bounty on his head, after ascending to power following the arrest of JoaquÃn 'El Chapo' Guzmán, head of the Sinaloa Cartel.
