Now that the head of the Jalisco New Generation cartel is dead, what will happen to its coalition of ruthless regional commanders? Will they agree to share power? Elevate one as supreme leader? Or will a bloody power struggle break out?

Days after the Mexican military killed one of the world's most wanted cartel leaders, Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” areas of Mexico gripped by an outbreak of retaliatory cartel violence began to return to normal.

Documents reveal the fall of “El Mencho" was the culmination of an aggressive “total elimination" strategy pursued by the U.S. against the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG).

El Mencho forged his power by combining accelerated national expansion, large-scale diversification of criminal businesses (drugs, human traffic, extorsion, etc.) and brazen acts of violence toward the authorities.

Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, also known as "El Mencho," had a $15 million U.S. bounty on his head.

Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, known as "El Mencho," was arrested in the U.S. multiple times before rising to lead the CJNG.

OnlyFans creator Maria Julissa has denied having anything to do with the operation that led to El Mencho's death.
