March 1, 2020 — The son and daughter of The FBI Most Wanted Mexican drug lord Nemesio (El Mencho) Oseguera Cervantes are both in American custody. His son, Ruben (El Menchito) Oseguera Gonzales, 30, was extradited to the United States last month to face narcotics and racketeering charges. His daughter Jessica (La Negra) Oseguera Gonzales was arrested on five counts of a drug trafficking conspiracy last week in Washington D.C. while trying to visit her younger brother in jail.
Federal authorities allege the 33-year old La Negra was giving financial support to a series of legitimate businesses in Mexico, including a pair of sushi restaurants and a tequila company, that her father’s organization uses to funnel drug proceeds through. The DEA estimates that at least one-third of the cocaine, heroin and meth flowing into the U.S. stem from El Mencho’s purview.

When the Milenio Cartel fell apart at the start of the 2010s, El Mencho planting his New Generation flag, moving his base of operations from Guadalajara to Jalisco.
El Chapo is serving a life sentence in a U.S. federal prison after his capture in 2016 following more than a decade on the run and several daring escapes from Mexican detainment centers. He was convicted on a multitude of federal offenses at a highly publicized trial in New York last year.
