He’s the most wanted man on earth. His operation is worth $50 BILLION! “He’s intelligent & loves to play cat & mouse games with police”. (Read More Here).
The Mexican government alleged that Tony Montana worked as a “logistics operator” and was involved in several aspects of the family business, including money laundering, the sourcing and buying of weapons for the group, and coordinating “violent actions against antagonistic groups.”
Authorities arrested Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, alias “Tony Montana,” for his role in helping to run the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG for its Spanish acronym.) The CJNG was founded around 2012 by his younger brother, Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes aka El Mencho, and quickly became one of the most widespread and ruthless criminal organizations on Earth.
Federal authorities arrested red-handed in Jalisco one of the biggest targets of criminal organizations and generators of violence in the country: Antonio Oseguera Cervantes, Tony Montana , brother of Nemesio Oseguera, El Mencho , leader of the Jalisco Nueva Generación cartel ( CJNG ).
This capture occurs 10 days after members of the CJNG kidnapped Colonel José Isidro Grimaldo Muñoz, commander of the 16th Motorized Cavalry Regiment in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, while on vacation. The plagiarism was committed in Tapalpa, Jalisco, another operation center of the organization led by El Mencho .
Tony Montana was apprehended by personnel from the Ministry of National Defense, the National Guard (GN) and the Attorney General’s Office in the municipality of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga, one of the main areas of operation of the CJNG .
Antonio Oseguera Cervantes is considered by the authorities of Mexico and the United States the logistics operator of the organization. The United States anti-drug agency has designated the CJNG as one of the most violent and widespread criminal gangs in the world.
Tony Montana , according to federal authorities, was in charge of acquiring weapons in large quantities, coordinating violent actions against antagonistic groups; Likewise, he is considered by the United States Department of the Treasury as an alleged member of the aforementioned criminal organization and carries out money laundering and international drug trafficking activities .
The early morning operation yesterday was carried out based on intelligence information obtained by various instances of the federal government in coordination with the National Intelligence Center, under the Ministry of Security and Citizen Protection.
Six short weapons, one long weapon, a package of cocaine, two vehicles and nine chargers were confiscated from Antonio Oseguera. All of them were made available to the Federal Public Ministry to define their legal situation and be made available to a federal judge, after in 2015 he had already been arrested for violations of the Federal Law on Firearms and Explosives, but for court decisions was released.
The capture of Tony Montana put the authorities throughout the state on alert (although without applying the red code), which consists of greater patrolling of convoys made up of elements of the Mexican Army, GN, state and municipal police, since in response Due to arrests or attempts to arrest members of a criminal cell, it has become common in the state to burn vehicles and trucks on roads to obstruct the passage of the authorities.
“The arrest of Antonio [Oseguera Cervantes] represents a forceful blow to one of the criminal organizations in the country, since it is considered in its structure, as one of the alleged main logistical and financial operators and generators of violence,” said the Mexican authorities in a press release.
While El Mencho remains on the lam and currently has a $10 million bounty on his head by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, the arrest of Tony Montana is another direct blow to his family.
El Mencho’s son, Rubén Oseguera González, known as El Menchito, was arrested in 2015 in Guadalajara. Although he was released shortly after, authorities quickly re-arrested El Menchito within a year and extradited him to the U.S. in February 2020 to face drug trafficking charges.
A week after El Menchito’s extradition, El Mencho’s daughter, Jessica Oseguera González, aka La Negra, travelled to the U.S. to visit her brother and was also arrested when she arrived at the Washington, D.C. courthouse for his hearing. El Menchito pleaded not guilty and is still awaiting trial, while La Negra pleaded guilty to violating the U.S. Kingpin act and spent nearly two years behind bars. She was released in March.
While El Mencho’s children were in U.S. prisons, his wife and their mother, Rosalina González Valencia was arrested in Mexico in November 2021. She was charged with money laundering and remains in a Mexican prison. She was also arrested in 2018 but was released three mothers later.
Along with the arrest of his immediate family members, numerous members of his wife’s family have also been arrested in recent years for their role operating another criminal group called Los Cuinis that worked with the CJNG.
The arrest of Tony Montana is a significant blow to the organization. In 2015, Tony Montana was arrested by Mexican authorities, but released under a technicality several months later. In 2016, the U.S. treasury announced sanctions against Tony Montana, along with other members of the CJNG and Los Cuinis, but it is unclear if there are any U.S. indictments that would facilitate his extradition.
