Cartel leader who faked own death is arrested in California, officials say
Briefly

Cristian Fernando Gutierrez-Ochoa, a high-ranking CJNG member, faked his death to evade arrest in Mexico, living luxuriously in California before being captured.
Gutierrez-Ochoa was allegedly involved in drug trafficking and violence, coordinating significant quantities of meth and cocaine destined for the U.S., and kidnapping Navy members.
The CJNG cartel, led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, has been noted for fueling the drug crisis in the U.S. and contributing to unprecedented violence in Mexico.
The arrest highlights the ongoing efforts of U.S. authorities to target powerful cartel members entrenched in drug trafficking and violence across borders.
