Mexico’s government laid out details of how it located the country’s most-wanted drug kingpin, stressing that US security agents didn’t actively participate in President Claudia Sheinbaum’s most direct confrontation with the cartels yet.
The most valuable information about Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes — the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel known as “El Mencho,” who was killed Sunday — came from tracking a lover, according to Sheinbaum’s top soldier.
A fierce confrontation ensued after the cartel leader’s location was identified, and Oseguera was killed during the operation, with nearly three dozen criminals also killed and 25 National Guard members lost.
