Who is ‘El Molca’, the historic enemy of ‘El Mencho’ who predicted his downfall 14 years ago?
The article discusses the prophetic statements made by Ramiro Pozos González, known as 'El Molca', regarding the fate of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, 'El Mencho', leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, during his 2012 interrogation.
In September 2012, Ramiro Pozos González, alias ‘El Molca’, found himself in a precarious situation, having been arrested and surrounded by law enforcement agencies in Metepec, Mexico. During this tense interrogation, he prophetically remarked on the future of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, infamously known as ‘El Mencho’, the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). His statement hinted at the eventual downfall of ‘El Mencho’, revealing both the bitter rivalry and the intense power struggles within the drug trafficking landscape of Mexico.
The context of ‘El Molca’'s remarks is steeped in the rivalry that erupted after the split of the Milenio Cartel into factions, leading to the emergence of La Resistencia, which ‘El Molca’ founded. At that time, there was a substantial bounty for his capture, indicating the significance of his role and the threats he posed to the CJNG. His predictions, made while under duress, were shocking for their candor and have drawn attention particularly in recent times, coinciding with developments regarding ‘El Mencho’s’ criminal enterprise and its challenges.
The implications of ‘El Molca’'s bold prediction highlight the ongoing volatility in Mexico’s drug war and how rivalries can shape the fates of those involved. As the CJNG has continued to play a pivotal role in organized crime in Mexico, the historic rivalry between these two figures underscores the violent and unpredictable nature of cartel dynamics, while also impacting the broader socio-political landscape in the country as various factions vie for control and power.
