The image of the United States of Jaguar seized the powerful poster leader while announcing new sanctions

The Trump Administration imposed on Thursday economic sanctions on three Mexican nationals, including a drug trave accused with fond of exotic animals and luxury cars, and two entities based in Mexico involved in a network Jalisco New Generation poster.

It is one of the most powerful posters in Mexico and the drug control of the United States says it has about 19,000 members in its ranks. The poster quickly became an extremely violent force after separating from the Sinaloa cartel after the 2010 murder of the Capo Ignacio “Nacho” Colonel Villarreal poster by the Army.

The new sanctions against Jalisco New Generation, including the main members Cesar Morfin Morfin (called “Primito”) and his brothers Alvaro Noe Morfin Morfin and Remigio Morfin Morfin, are directed to the group Fuel robbery network.

American officials claim that Primito is involved in the transport and distribution of fentanyl, heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine and marijuana in the United States.

“The luxurious lifestyle of Primito has included the ownership of exotic animals and dozens of luxury vehicles,” said the treasure in a press release, while throwing an image of a supposedly seized jaguar of Primito by the Mexican authorities in December 2023.

The Treasury Department says that the network has resulted in dozens of millions of dollars in lost income for the Mexican government and also finances the flow of illicit fentanyl in the United States.

Sanctions freeze any assets that people or companies have in the United States and prohibit US citizens do business with them.

The US administration has made a priority to combat that flow, which has blamed tens of thousands of overdose deaths every year.

The secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besent, said in a statement that his department “will continue to use all the tools available to relentlessly attack drug cartels and foreign terrorist organizations so that the United States will be safe again.”

Paul Anthony Pérez, president of the National Border Patrol Council, said that sanctions actions “will ensure that the posters no longer have the ability to provide unlimited funds to promote their criminal companies and allow the United States government to” interrupt their daily activities on both sides of the border. “

In February, the Designated administration Jalisco New Generation as a Foreign Terrorist and Global Terrorist Organization specially designated. The group has been accused of using false job ads to attract new members and torture and kill recruits who resist. In March, a group of people looking for missing relatives found Carbonized bones, shoes and clothes In a suspected training for the poster.

On Thursday he makes the eighth time that Trump’s department has taken measures against the posters. The Biden administration also imposed sanctions on the new generation group of Jalisco.

The poster is led by Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, which is better known as “The Mencho.” Washington has offered a $ 15 million reward for information that leads to its capture.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, when asked Tuesday about the fight against theft and smuggling of fuel, said her party in Congress was working to strengthen government tools so that there is “traceability” when it comes to fuel shipments.

“So any tank truck that transports fuel, whatever we know: where did it come from; where is you going; if it is imported, with which import permit entered, where it was stored, and from there to which service station it will be taken,” said Sheinbaum. “If an oil tanker has stolen fuel from a pipe and stops on the road, it has to show where that fuel comes from; if not, there is something illegal.”

TO Man known as “El Tanque” He directs the fuel theft arm of the poster, supplying dozens of millions of dollars a year selling stolen gasoline through a seemingly legitimate business network, according to the United States Treasury.

The White House has linked to the fentanyl with the tariff plan of President Trump, saying that he wants to “hold Mexico, Canada and China for their promises to stop illegal immigration and prevent poisonous fentanil and other drugs from flowing to our country.”
