MEXICO CITY (Reuters) – Mexico’s military on Tuesday arrested the wife of Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, best known as “El Mencho”, in the western Jalisco state, Mexican officials said.
A source at Mexico’s defense ministry confirmed Rosalinda Gonzalez Valencia was detained after the ministry put out a statement saying “Rosalinda N.” was arrested.
Oseguera, a former policeman, is the leader of the ultra-violent Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), the most powerful criminal group in Mexico along with the Sinaloa Cartel.
