ESTA ES UNA INVESTIGACIÓN DESTINADA A CONVERTIRSE EN UN CLÁSICO DE LA INFORMACIÓN CRIMINAL. SE TRATA DE UNO DE LOS LIBROS PERIODÍSTICOS SOBRE NARCOTRÁFICO MÁS URGENTES QUE YA RECLAMABA LA SOCIEDAD LECTORA .-- J. Jesús Lemus

El 22 de febrero de 2026 fue abatido Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, mejor conocido como el Mencho, el líder y fundador del Cártel Jalisco Nueva Generación. Un capo que vivía entre las sombras, pero que llegó a ser considerado el narcotraficante más violento y buscado, incluso por encima del Chapo Guzmán.

José Luis Montenegro, periodista experto en temas de crimen organizado y coconductor del pódcast Narcomundo junto a J. Jesús Lemus, hace una exhaustiva revisión de la historia de este personaje, cuyos tentáculos se desplegaban por todo el territorio nacional y su poder se extendía a más de cuarenta países. Montenegro desentraña los pasajes más duros y determinantes en la vida del líder del cártel que, a su vez, cambiaron el mapa del poder en México: desde su infancia, en Aguililla, Michoacán, sus inicios en el crimen organizado. Y de cómo pasó de ser Rubén a hacerse llamar Nemesio, nombre asociado a la diosa Némesis, el que distribuye , el justiciero , hasta su captura en Tapalpa.

ESTA ES LA RADIOGRAFÍA CRIMINAL QUE MUESTRA EL LADO MÁS PERVERSO, OSCURO Y HASTA AHORA DESCONOCIDO DEL ÚLTIMO GRAN CAPO MEXICANO.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"THIS IS AN INVESTIGATION DESTINED TO BECOME A CLASSIC OF CRIME REPORTING. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST URGENT JOURNALISTIC BOOKS ON DRUG TRAFFICKING THAT READERS HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR."-- J. Jesús Lemus

On February 22, 2026, Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, better known as El Mencho, the leader and founder of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel, was killed. A crime boss who lived in the shadows, but came to be considered the drug trafficker most violent and most wanted, even above El Chapo Guzmán.

José Luis Montenegro, a journalist specialized in organized crime and co-host of the podcast Narcomundo alongside J. Jesús Lemus, delivers an exhaustive examination of this figure's story, whose reach extended throughout Mexico and into more than forty countries. Montenegro uncovers the harshest and most decisive episodes in the life of the cartel leader that, in turn, reshaped the map of power in Mexico: from his childhood in Aguililla, Michoacán, and his beginnings in organized crime. And how he went from being Rubén to calling himself Nemesio, a name associated with the goddess Nemesis, "the distributor," "the avenger," all the way to his capture in Tapalpa.

THIS IS THE CRIMINAL PROFILE THAT REVEALS THE DARKEST, MOST PERVERSE, AND UNTIL NOW UNKNOWN SIDE OF MEXICO'S LAST GREAT DRUG LORD.
