Alleged CJNG regional coordinator arrested in Michoacán
ZETA Tijuana reports that authorities arrested Manuel Alejandro “N,” known as “El Señor de la T,” in Morelia and identify him as an alleged CJNG regional coordinator. Authorities associate him with extortion and other serious crimes and say he had arrest warrants tied to homicide and disappearance cases; the claims remain allegations reported by the source.
Omar García Harfuch, Mexico’s security secretary, reported the arrest in Morelia, Michoacán, of Manuel Alejandro “N,” known as “El Señor de la T.” ZETA Tijuana reported that authorities identify him as a regional coordinator for the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) and associate him with alleged extortion, kidnapping, homicide, disappearances and retail drug dealing. Those are government allegations reported by ZETA Tijuana; they are not presented here as adjudicated findings.
According to the federal Security Cabinet, the 51-year-old suspect maintained an alleged criminal presence in several municipalities in the Michoacán Bajío, including Angamacutiro, Penjamillo, Panindícuaro, José Sixto Verduzco and Puruándiro. Authorities said he had arrest warrants related to homicide and disappearance committed by private individuals, and that investigators linked him to the case of a murdered Penjamillo municipal official and the disappearance of a former Angamacutiro mayor. The operation involved the Michoacán prosecutor’s office, state security forces, the Defense Ministry, the Navy, the SSPC and the FGR.
The report places the arrest within a series of operations against CJNG figures. ZETA Tijuana said authorities previously seized 7.2 million pesos and $965,000 in cash after the death of alleged CJNG founder Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” and described later arrests involving alleged cartel operators. U.S. authorities have also announced increased rewards for eight CJNG leaders, according to the source.
