| Authorities Arrest El Menchito Posted: 23 Jun 2015 06:03 PM PDT  Updated with additional info Translated by Valor for Borderland Beat Authorities in Jalisco detained Rubén Oseguera González, "El Menchito", son of the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes "El Mencho", known by authorities in Mexico and the United States as the most dangerous criminal organization in the country. Journalist Carlos Loret de Mola from Primero Noticias reported the capture Tuesday morning.
Oseguera was captured early Tuesday morning and was taken to Mexico City. According to official sources, the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA) carried out an operation in Prados Vallarta, located in Zapopan in order to capture the son of "El Mencho". In the residential complex, some torn surveillance cameras were able to be seen, while another had the lens aiming at the sky and another camera was sprayed with a red liquid to prevent any visibility. The National Security Commissioner, Monte Alejandro Rubido, stated that at the time of his capture, Oseguera González did not have any security deployment due to his low profile. Rubido also stated that "El Menchito" showed signs of having undergone a recent nose job.  "El Menchito" was previously arrested on January 30 2014. He was processed and released due to a lack of evidence after being under arrest. At that time, authorities seized around 14 million pesos ($908,297) and an armored car.
According to the magazine Zeta, "El Menchito" was previously released on two occasions. On October 16 2014, a federal judge in Toluca ordered his freedom. He was charged with the crimes of carrying a firearm and cartiridges for the exclusive use of the armed forces. After leaving the Altiplano federal prison, he is immediately secured by the federal police and transferred to SEIDO (Assistant Attorney General's Office for Special Investigations on Organized Crime) where he is placed under restricted order for two months. After having obtained the arrest warrant by a district Judge in Jalisco, he is transferred to the Puente Grande Prison. However, on December 26 2014, the same judge who had issued the arrest warrant ordered the release of "El Menchito" due to a lack of evidence to criminally prosecute him for the crimes of organized crime, crimes against public health, and for the violation of the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives.
