Three New Cartels Appear On The Criminal Map

The country’s criminal map is being reconfigured with new criminal alliances and the emergence of at least three criminal groups that are taking notice. 

These are the Gente Nueva Generación, Michoacán Nueva Generación, and Tabasco Nueva Generación cartels that have already given signs of their presence and have entered areas of the states of Guerrero, Michoacán and Tabasco, respectively. 

Federal security reports indicate that Gente Nueva or Gente Nueva Guerrerense was born from the alliance between the criminal cell of Los Rodríguez, a spin-off of the Familia Michoacána and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel to confront the leader of Los Granados, Salvador Granados Vargas, who controls the Costa Chica of Guerrero.

For this reason, federal reports point out that on October 24, they carried out a failed armed raid in the municipality of Tecpan de Galeana, Guerrero. In which they wound up with 16 casualties and 11 detainees. 

While the alliance of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel and the Viagras of which El Universal Media gave account in July 2023, became what is now known as the Michoacán New Generation Cartel. 

Consisting exclusively of Michoacános to face the strongholds of the Templarios in the city of Apatzingan and the so-called cartel of Juan José Farías Álvarez aka El Abuelo. That’s settled in the municipality of Tepalcatepec in the Tierra Caliente region, adjacent to the state of Jalisco. 

Through various messages, the criminal group asked the population of Aguililla, the birthplace of the CJNG leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes aka El Mencho. For a vote of confidence in the alliance between the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. 

In addition, they also announced a purge of its rivals.  And finally, due to the internal fracture of La Barredora in Tabasco several criminal groups emerged that allied themselves with the Jalisco New Generation Cartel. 

Among them is the Tabasco New Generation Cartel, that disputes the control of illicit activities with other organizations in several municipalities of the home state of former president López Obrador. 

According to federal authorities, the Barredroa, Jalisco New Generation Cartel,  Notheast Cartel, and Panteras are fighting for control of drug dealing, fuel theft, kidnapping, fee collections of migrants, and extortion.
