Mexican military forces killed Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, better known as El Mencho, the powerful leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG). But what’s sending shockwaves across Mexico and beyond isn’t just the operation, it’s where he was found. Instead of a remote bunker or mountain hideout, El Mencho was located inside an exclusive luxury cabin in Tapalpa, a high-end tourist destination known for elite retreats and private subdivisions. The raid, launched on February 22, unfolded with military helicopters, heavy gunfire, and a targeted intelligence strike focused on cabins within the Tapalpa Country Club. WATCH
