Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as El Mencho, began his criminal journey in September 1992, when he and his brother were arrested selling heroin. Despite multiple deportations, he persisted in returning to the U.S. The brothers' arrest led El Mencho to plead guilty for a lighter sentence to protect his sibling, and during his time in prison, he met future cartel members. Today, the DEA has placed a $15 million bounty on him, marking him as a key target in the war against drug trafficking, with efforts also focused on his brother Abraham, recently apprehended again.
"Nemesio had been crossing the Rio Grande with marijuana and other illegal substances on a regular basis. That year, he was arrested in possession of stolen goods and a gun."
"El Mencho ended up pleading guilty to protect his brother. He would spend a few years behind bars."
"Over 30 years later, the DEA is offering a $15 million reward for the head of El Mencho, who... is the most coveted cartel boss by the U.S. authorities."
"Abraham Oseguera Cervantes is... in the hands of the Mexican police. He was arrested on February 28, the day after an unprecedented mass transfer of 29 Mexican drug traffickers to the United States."
