Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generacion

The Jalisco New Generation Cartel or CJNG, formerly known as Los Mata Zetas, is a Mexican organized crime syndicate based in Jalisco which is headed by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes ("El Mencho"), one of the world's most-wanted drug lords. The cartel has been characterized by its aggressive use of extreme violence and its public relations campaigns. Although the CJNG is particularly known for diversifying into various types of criminal rackets, drug trafficking (primarily cocaine and methamphetamine) remains its most profitable activity. The cartel has also been noted for cannibalizing some of its victims, sometimes during the training of new sicarios or cartel members, as well as using drones and rocket-propelled grenades to attack its enemies. As of 2020, the CJNG is generally considered by the Mexican government to be the most dangerous criminal organization in Mexico and the second most powerful drug cartel in the country after the Sinaloa Cartel. CJNG is heavily militarized and more violent than other criminal organizations. It has a special operations group and other sections for specific types of warfare. Its hitman training program is strict and professional. The CJNG is the most dominant criminal group in the state of Jalisco but the cartel also dominates criminal and drug operations in the states of Nayarit and Colima, with the latter being an important area for shipments of South American cocaine and chemical precursors from Asia. While this cartel is best known for its fights against the Zetas and Templarios, it has also fought La Resistencia for control of Aguililla, Michoacán and its surrounding territories. More recently, tensions have also begun to rise with the CJNG's arch-rival, the Sinaloa Cartel within the states of Chiapas and Zacatecas. Jalisco New Generation Cartel started as one of the splits of the Milenio Cartel, the other being La Resistencia. La Resistencia accused CJNG of giving up Oscar Valencia ("El Lobo") to the authorities and called them Los Torcidos ("The Twisted Ones"). The Jalisco Cartel defeated La Resistencia and took control of the Millenio Cartel's smuggling networks. Jalisco New Generation Cartel expanded its operation network from coast to coast in only six months, making it one of the criminal groups with the greatest operating capacity in Mexico by 2012. At this time, the Sinaloa Cartel allied with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel to fight off Los Zetas.
