Treasury’s largest action against CJNG sanctions 39 individuals and 16 companies while identifying Juan Carlos González, alias Pelón, as El Mencho’s successor. The designations expose the relatives, trafficking cells, fuel thieves, front companies and professional money launderers that keep Mexico’s most powerful cartel operating through leadership losses and government pressure.

There’s a lot more to the story of “El Mencho”, the current leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG), than meets the eye. In fact, before becoming mortal enemies with the Sinaloa Cartel, El Mencho actually worked for Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán and Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada. He even played a crucial role in rescuing two key Sinaloa Cartel figures from the clutches of the DEA. How did he go from loyal employee to fierce rival? Find out in this explosive excerpt from cartelinsider.com.

In the world of drug cartels, names like ‘El Chapo’ and ‘El Mayo’ are known to all. But there is one name that often goes overlooked – Héctor Luis Palma Salazar, also known as ‘El Güero’. He was a top hitman for the infamous Sinaloa Cartel, and even became one of its leaders alongside ‘El Chapo’ and ‘El Mayo’. But what happened to him?

It turns out, he left a lasting impression in his hometown of Guamúchil, Sinaloa with a luxurious mansion that was never finished. According to reports, it was abandoned in 1995 after ‘El Güero’ was arrested by authorities. But what secrets does this unfinished home hold?

Thanks to a video from popular YouTubers Los Primos Urbex, we get a rare glimpse inside the mansion. And it’s even more impressive than one might imagine. Multiple domes, spacious rooms, and a grand pool – all left untouched after ‘El Güero’s’ apprehension.

But how exactly did ‘El Güero’ get caught? It was a combination of a plane crash and some quick-thinking military officers. After surviving the crash, ‘El Güero’ was recovering in a nearby residence when he was apprehended and taken to prison. And after 12 years in Mexican custody, he was extradited to the United States, only to return to Mexico 10 years later to continue serving his sentence. Almost 30 years later, he remains behind bars.

The story of ‘El Güero’ and his abandoned mansion is just one chapter in the infamous Sinaloa Cartel’s history. But it serves as a reminder of the power and notoriety of these drug lords, even long after their arrests.
